villa4europe Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 It's not just the £3-4m fee it's getting the wages off the books, even with a pay cut he's still got to be on £30-40k a week, in no way does he justify that kind of money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lexicon Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 After another shit performance you'd hope that RDM is going to rethink this and push him out the door - he's a waste of everything, really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can smell Dougonomics! It's Scottish football. They probably had to turn off the hot water at the training ground for the season just to make the initial bid. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pas5898 Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 I understand he isn't the player he once was. BUT, The last time he was in the championship he scored 20 goals, from the wide left position. If Celtic are only going to offer 3 miliion then why not keep him? If he gets his confidence up against poorer players he could prove to be a major asset. If he could score 10-15 goals from a wide position he is surely worth more to us than 3/4 million + his wages. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtsimonw Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 6 seasons ago now though. He doesn't seem to have much confidence in himself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because these Villa fans and logic don't compensate sometimes, it's just get rid, get rid, get rid, why? I don't like him, I don't even like the way he walks, styles his hair etc. I would rather play with 5 men than them etc. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He delivered pretty much nothing and put in some extremely poor, down right lazy showings. Fans are justified in wanting him gone. He hasn't played in the championship for a very long time now, I think I'd prefer us getting rid and signing someone who has performed at that level more recently.

My point was less about just Scott Sinclair and more about the overall mentality to be honest. As someone said yesterday, it cant be a coincidence that so many decent players come to us , start of quite well and then capitulate into absolute shite. The overall setup has alot of responsibility to take. With new owners, new set up etc we could do much worse than keep a couple of these players if we cant ship them out. If they dont perform,they dont play. Lol. Some people would rather we pay a transfer fee as well as their contracts off to be rid. Lol 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol Not sure if that's in reference to what I posted, but I don't think anyone has suggested we 'pay' to get rid of Scott Sinclair or the vast majority of our players. I would be happy to see him and many others stay, but also not too fussed if RDM lets him go. We all know which 3-4 players we are desperate to get rid of - unfortunately they're the ones no one will buy so it's either a negotiated contract settlement/loan agreement, or we keep paying their wages to do nowt Edited July 23, 2016 by Gary Thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StewieGriffin Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Saw a quote from the Celtic manager this morning that was along the lines of "we're working on something and hopefully it'll be done before Monday afternoon before we fly to Astana" and that Kolo Toure hasn't been registered as their 'extra' player for their CL tie. Add that to Richard's post above... and maybe... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
