villa89 Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 All gil has to do now is keep us up, pretty much single handedly as the team is poo. No pressure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshVilla Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 The buy back clause has took all the excitement out of it for me why? because if he's any good then valencia will want him back? if he's any good then man city will buy him for their bench... Because Valencia will only have to pay something like 10 million and Man City would have to pay more? I see no point in buy back clauses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see no point in buy back clauses i think they make sense for the selling club and im surprised more clubs dont insist on them, gary cahill when we sold him to bolton for example (obviously not anticipating Chelsea coming in for him) we sold him for around £2m, we should have stuck a £5m clause in there and then gone back in for him 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimzk5 Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 If this goes through and its looking likely, really have to hope this lad hits the ground running and gives the club a much needed lift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 That will be difficult, particularly how awful we are currently. As I've said here the barometer has to be Sanchez who took a full three months to get the pace and put in good performances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think Sanchezs' is a harder position to get to grips with the pace of the Premier league for though, I'd hope it'd be easier for an attacking player to figure it out.....hopefully anyway!

sonic_bouma Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 So is this Gil a number 10 or a winger then? Because we need a number 10. Or is Lambert neglecting this fact for the eighth transfer window in a row Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimzk5 Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Also worth mentioning that having a AM that can pick out passes forwards will be worthless if those in front of him stand like statues like they have been since we adopted this passing style. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smetrov Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Can someone confirm if he is a number 10 or a winger. Given Lambert s preference for the narrow formation I kinda hope he's a number 10 (I m sick of seeing our so called wingers cut inside). Considering there is £70m riding on us staying in the prem the buyback doesn't concern me. He's 22 and has to hit the ground running, avoid red cards, - but we are so poor if he has 4 good games between now and the end of the season - that could be enough. Agree about our strikers they have been desparate since we tried this passing game. Reported fee of £4m.......either our finances have improved or the panic button has been pressed.

LockStockVilla Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Gil is a true number 10, who can also play on the wings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJT123 Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 James Nursey: "Lambert wants him to play an attacking midfield role cutting in from the right onto his left foot" That sounds like absolute tosh. Why or how would he know this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farlz Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Why hasn't Gil got his own thread yet? Anyway, if we can sort out this Sinclair deal I'd class this as a great window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
