R.I.C.O. Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 He'll be a solid, unspectacular signing, a little bit of an improvement on El Ahmadi but not much. For £8m its a total ripoff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunnski Posted August 28, 2014 Author Share Posted August 28, 2014 christ no. garbage player who won't aid creativity one bit Come on, really? Delph, Sanchez, Westwood, Cleverley, Cole competing for three spots. Darn sight better than what we had 2 months ago. More players doesn't mean more creativity though. True but the point is that having quality players fighting for their place in the team should lead to them upping their game and benefit the team. Lambert had feck all quality options in most positions over the past 2 seasons and as a result had to keep playing players who were off form. If we can get a quality winger then our squad will be looking great imo and we will have good competition for places in all positions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.Bear Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 It makes me feel sick that we're paying 8m for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isa Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 When was the last time he was played as the main attacking midfield player? He's played for one of the best teams in thr country, he was able to get forward often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam_ Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Makes me so angry when he's playing for England because he's so crap, now I have to witness it at villa too! At least he won't be playing for England anymore I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andym Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 we need creativity, a bit of guile. cleverly just strikes me as a hardworking, energetic player with little end product. i hope the price is lower than the rumoured 8 mil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJT123 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 £8m is just the standard valuation for this player. If we change our standard bid to a cheeky bid, I think we could get him for £5m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigCarew Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Some of the over reactions on here are a joke. I'm sure Senderos and Richardson received similar criticisms when they signed but have turned out to be useful additions. Give the guy a bloody chance its totally plausible a player can be better at another club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefanAVFC Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Senderos and Richardson were also peanuts in positions where we needed more players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted August 28, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted August 28, 2014 We could spend this 8m a lot more wisely. Like throwing it down the drain for example. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigCarew Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Senderos and Richardson were also peanuts in positions where we needed more players. I agree with the valuation point... but we need another central midfielder, KEA is shocking and clearly wants to move back to Holland. Gardner has just been loaned out. But you haven't taken the point I said, about a player who has such negative press and opinions and proves people wrong. Senderos is or was fully known to be rubbish and in the first 3 games of the season he has heavily impressed for me. As stated, players can play well at other clubs!

Mantis Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 (edited) He is one of the worst, most ineffective players in the league. I would rather we didnt sign anyone than this waste of space. That's just pure hyperbole. I can assure you it isnt. I think anyone who likes this signing simply hasnt seen him "play" enough. Regardless of whether you or not you rate him he clearly isn't one of the worst players in the leagues. Edited August 28, 2014 by Mantis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donnie Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 If he signs, I'm not going to give him a chance and even if has a good game I'll still expend all my energy putting him down. FYI this post is getting ripped to pieces on redcafe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul33 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 (edited) Not a fan but lets face it, many a talent has pulled on a Newton Heath shirt and been made to look garbage ..... they've even made RVP look average !!! Rather spend the £8M on a proven goalscorer but I'll give him a chance if he comes and who knows, it could lift his game being at a new club. PS: He is at least 800% better than KEA !!!

vandaq Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Not something I would be fond off. Costs too much compared to what we are getting, would rather like it if we spent it elsewhere. Not really a fan off Cleverley either, beside the stigma he has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
