Popular Post Ponky Posted January 13, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted January 13, 2015 Is he any good at jostling the ref after a red card? We have a reputation to keep. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
electronicmaji Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 I reckon he will take a while to settle here and his first season he will give 2 or 3 assists and create 4-5 goals we wouldn't have created without him. Fortunately with the amount of goals we are scoring that kind of difference would be massive and make up like 50% of our goal output. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedClaretAndBlue Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 The G is pronounced as a H Carles Hill but ill probably just call him Gilly Anyway the Spanish 'experts' have their say here: http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/12040/9643098/transfer-news-aston-villa-are-close-to-signing-valencia-midfielder-carles-gil Good signing, just hope he can express his talent instead of having it stifled by Lambert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanO Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 This thread is a microcosm of being a Villa fan Player is exciting great glad we'll sign him He'll be leaving in a few years for pastures new No he wont he'll be shite He'll have to save us He'll be crap Well he may be decent but wont be used properly We need others too Lol true but you can't say that your exempt from this either Richard, it's VT and we'll moan if we want to. I was impressed with some of Gil's sidewards passing as well as he back passing, he'll fit perfectly into our "system" although he may be a bit quick for Lambert's liking.

KSV Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 can you imagine he scores on debut.. be Luna all over again! We finally thought wow a quality left back... and then he was awful. He could also start as bad as Sanchez when some wrote him off early. My point being.. hes going to need time either way. It is player who possesses quality ball control and dribbling.. so at least when hes 1 on 1 on the wings.. the crowd will lift the way it does when Jack Grealish gets the ball.

LockStockVilla Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 (edited) Excited by this. Obviously will give him plenty of time to adapt, but he will hopefully be the Coutinho we should have gotten two seasons back. Would like to see a lineup this weekend of: Guzan Hutton Okore Baker Cissokho Sanchez Westwood Delph Gil Weimann Benteke A bit narrow, but Gil would hopefully have the freedom to move around a bit , as well as Weimann playing off of Benteke. Think also that when Delph makes driving runs, Gil could make for a very good outlet to keep the ball moving forward...I live in hope Edited January 13, 2015 by LockStockVilla 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Maybe the Azerbaijanis are coming afterall or a new Assistant, more than likely there's no press conference and Sky have made a mistake. ??? It was a reference to a Jonny Gould tweet from just over a week back where he said he was looking into a Villa takeover involving Azerbaijan/Blackwater, apparently he said it was from a well placed source. But I was joking of course. Hopefully Gil can be a good signing and on top of everything else win us a few penalties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ozvillafan Posted January 13, 2015 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted January 13, 2015 Guzan Hutton Okore Baker Cissokho Sanchez Westwood Delph Gil Weimann Benteke How about this? Guzan Hutton Okore Baker Cissokho Sanchez Delph Grealish Gil Sinclair Benteke Gives us width that doesn't involve fullbacks only. Delph box-to-box with Gil free, Sanchez deep and Benteke the focus point. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimzk5 Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 If the Sinclair deal comes off id say its more likely to be ----Westwood Sanchez delph---- Sinclair ----benteke------- gil That's if delph doesn't leave this window, if he does I imagine cole will drop in there if fit. I really dont wont to see cleverley or gabby in our team for the rest of the season tbh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samjp26 Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Imagine.. Teams around us are spending figures such as £10m on transfer fees alone, we're still penny pinching over agent fees. We're actually pathetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
