Can hardly get a game for Blades. People were hot for him early in FPL and I said stay away Edited January 21, 2020 by Kiwivillan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 A big shame, given how long he was with us, but it never seemed like he filled out physically and managers seemed wary of picking him. Good luck to him in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodders0223 Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 4 1/2 year deal. His agent requires a medal, that is a great deal. Along with the last 2 years here he has done very very well. He won't make it in the PL in a billion years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly if he doesn't make it in the next 12 then he's unlikely to make it in the proceeding 999,999,988... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Obligatory photo of him 'in the shirt'. I was pretty critical of his potential on several occasions, but he's actually a bit of a trailblazer, being the first Asian-descended Englishman to captain a national side, he's been a long-time fixture of the club, and he's been willing to push himself by moving to Holland and Portugal, so in all seriousness, good luck to him and I hope he goes on to have a successful career. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyrusr Posted January 24, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted January 24, 2020 Villa Report saying that we have 30% sell on fee: To be fair, if he does make it, its nice to know that we will get a share of it at least!

BOF Posted January 24, 2020 Moderator Share Posted January 24, 2020 This was always a weird one. Captained his country at under-age level yet never got anywhere near our first team even in the lower leagues where at times we had a dearth of centre back talent. Two days short of his 22nd birthday so it really is now or never. Several Villa managers overlooked him so he was clearly never going to make it here. Fingers crossed for the lad that he can go abroad and hopefully make a good career for himself and maybe get a move back over at some point.

Think the issue I have read is that he hasnt filled out and strength is one of the major things a centre back in England needs. He is only a couple of months younger than Konsa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sir_gary_cahill Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 (edited) Just about to kick off on channel 64 FreeSports on freeview, Suliman’s team Vitoria Guimaraes are playing, I don’t know if Suliman will play edit- he’s on the bench Edited June 4, 2020 by sir_gary_cahill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 He has started 1 professional game since March 2018 which was vs Ooztzan who play in Dutch Derde Divisie which is Dutch 4th division. Think more chance of me making it in professional football 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw him a lot for our u18s, u23s and even on one occasion for our first team in the league cup against Wigan Athletic in a 4-1 victory at Villa Park on 22 August 2017, he appeared as a late substitute, he has also played for England at youth level from u16 to u20 level. He’s a good looking lad too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 Been watching the first half, didn't realise that was the club he joined. Guimaraes play decent football but they don't half hang onto the ball too long in the final third. One of their CBs Bondarenko should've been sent off aswell. Europa league standard team so pretty good move for him if he can break into the 11. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
