YLN Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 sideways indeed. Good one. £3.2 million Teams have spent far more on players who have been really shite. He might be even worse than them. He might be really really terrible. He might be good, but for that money he's probably not especially good. Or else another team would be in for him. Why don't other teams want him? Is it because he's terrible? And Villa are also terrible, so we match up? Michael Chopra cost £5 million. Is he 40% worse than Michael Chopra? He's unlikely to be Di Maria, but he can't really be any worse than what we have already. Unless he is. I mean the players Villa have been playing have PL experience. And they look like they've just gotten a ball that is twice as heavy as the one they're used to playing with. Dembele would be good. It would be nice if we were only pretending to be interested in Gil so as to bring the price on Dembele down, but I guess I'm just delirious from hunger and sleep deprivation.

nazvfc Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 I'll reserve judgement on what lambert will do with him until he plays at least one game. We may all be surprised and he will play his natural game and not played out of position or made to play backwards or sideways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grobs Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 I just don't care about this signing tbh. Lambert cannot get the best out of any of our current players. What makes this one different? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phumfeinz Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 We could sign Ronaldo and I wouldn't be excited because of Lambert. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardly surprising things get questioned. I think its a good signing and the type we should be bringing into the club. I have little faith the end result for the club will be different though.

Popular Post westholmevillan Posted January 12, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted January 12, 2015 My sources tell me that this signing may not go ahead. Fox TV are claiming that ONLY muslims are allowed in Birmingham. Its a real shame as he looks pretty useful! 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Looks technically good, likes to make forward runs, and appears to want to pass the ball forward. Can't complain for the money, definitely worth a punt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Looks comfortable and like sto get forward with the ball quickly thats exactly what we lack. he looks a like a ashley young type player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supernova26 Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 (edited) Medical tomorrow according to Revista De La Liga. Valencia couldn't sign anyone due to FFP so decided to sell. A lot of quality but not many goals. Can play between the lines. Edited January 12, 2015 by supernova26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villan-scott Posted January 12, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted January 12, 2015 Looks like a good little player, diminutive, tricky, quick and likes to take the ball forward. Hopefully will provide the link between the midfield and Benteke. Looking forward to seeing him in a Villa shirt, he can be our very own, budget David Silva!

P3te Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Is he right or left footed? If he's right footed, perhaps him on one side and Grealish on the other would actually add some proper balance to us from an attacking point of view Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 (edited) He's left footed but seems to be able to pick a pass and cross the ball with his right as well. Edited January 12, 2015 by useless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Lot's of talk on Twitter about a press conference tomorrow? Would this signing really warrant a press conference? Wouldn't bother me either way. To repeat old man Mooney's question, how do you pronounce Gil? I'm saying it like "hill" but with a fair amount of phlegm involved.
