Popular Post Dr_Pangloss Posted December 20, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted December 20, 2015 He looked gutted and angry when the final whistle went, exactly what I want to see, a point wasn't good enough and he knows it. He put lots into that game and was let down by the utter shite around him. I just hope he keeps fighting, he demonstrated an admirable level of quality, passion, fight and desire yesterday. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took a long time to settle but works so hard for the team. Yeah if we were to have any chance of coming straight back up when we go down we can start by holding on to him.

HanoiVillan Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 I can see why people think he's likely to leave. On the balance of probabilities, I expect that too. But QPR have held on to Austin, it's not totally beyond comprehension that he might stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 To be fair we can stand firm with all players who don't have a relegation release clause. They may not be thrilled with it but we need to make decisions that are best for the club. I also think it wouldn't hurt the likes of Veretout, Grealish, Ayew and Adama to have 12 months dominating players the majority of the time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest av1 Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Of all the summers signings, Ayew was the one I was least excited by. Shows what I know about world football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Hope he stays as I think he'd do really well for us in the championship, if we have a hope of coming back up first time he is it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Not bad for someone who was described as one of the worst players we've ever had! Really like this lad, he shows so much passion and heart. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is ours, and we can take him all the way down to the Conference before his contract is up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 I think he'll give us a season unless he's got some contractual clause that someone meets. We're best off just cheering him on as much as possible and making him feel that this is the club for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matrim Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 As others have said I liked his spirit yesterday. Kept on trying and pushing for the win. Even after the goal he didn't has a full celebration, instead he brought the ball back to get the he back on quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hahahahahahahaha! He's a long way from demonstrating value to a bottom half club in the league. I'd be shocked if we were bombarded with offers for him.

avfc1982am Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 3 hours ago, GENTLEMAN said: He will stay IMO. I sort of agree with this. For what its worth I would not be surprised in the slightest if he has brought into the Garde project. Genuinely seems to love and appreciate playing for the Villa and I am sure his old man who would remember the days when we were a proper club will have had a big say in him choosing to join us. I have this feeling he will want to help get us back up and may stay for 12 months to see if it is achievable, unless of course he is offered a truly big move and the chance to play champions league football. He is only 23 and a guaranteed starter for Ghana regardless of where he plays so maybe loyalty will have a big part in his decision. I also look at his first interview for AVTV where he mentions that his own goals are secondary to the needs of the club and team. Different attitude imo and one of the reasons I rate him so highly. Anyway if he continues to contribute the way he has no-one can begrudge him a move or will we lose money on the transfer fee we paid. The good thing about Ayew, Amavi, Veretout, Adama, Gil and Grealish is age. They all have their best years ahead of them and 12 months out of the premiership won't be career damaging in anyway as Ayew is the only international regular. Amavi will imo not be leaving for at least 12 months plus due to his injury and I don't think Grealish will either due to his links with the club. Adama still has much to learn and Veretout also strikes me as a lad who is loyal and not a mercenary. I also look at the length of contracts the players are on and think we aren't in a position where we will need to sell at a loss with any of them anytime soon. Okay a few loses are inevitable however is that a bad thing with the current squad?! I really think if we keep Garde we keep most of our better players, at least for a season unless teams offer big money for individuals. Garde is very highly regarded and although we haven't had the initial bounce as with most new managers I think he is more a long term project manager and will eventually bring us back far stronger than we have been for years. I am not of the opinion as some are that going down will be the end of us if it does come to pass. I believe if we do we will have far more resources than any other club possibly in the championship. I think we would come straight back up as I am sure the players would also feel which may have a bearing on their own decisions at the end of the season. At least I hope!
