Villarocker Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 a frenchy replied to me asking if he is good or not. "he can score goals but he's dumb as **** and a complete bellend so it might limit his potential." xD guess wait and see He should fit right in then...

AshVilla Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Walk away Why would we do that? If we stump up the extra cash every club is going to ask for more in all future deals The ball is in our court here the player is already in the country ready to sign we need to stick to our guns and hold firm I will be a bit cheesed off if we bow to their demands and give them more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Obviously I don't know the situation, but generally speaking I favour the club in these cases. Footballers are company assets, commodities that are traded to make clubs competitive. This is the contract a footballers signs in to, and they're more than adequately recompensed for that. A contract should be honoured, once a club has entered to sign that agreement it should be adhered to. Too many players come out with "x said this" when a contract is written and binding. Clubs are entitled to get the best deal they can on their assets, and until something is signed and sealed the players should wind their necks in and assume nothing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob182 Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 So it's perfectly fine for a club to accept a bid (as Lorient presumably did), for the player to hop on a plane, travel to a different country and then be told 'actually we want more money, so come back on another plane or get your NEW club to offer more money' ? I see nothing wrong with him coming out with comments (other than that he does come across as a bit petulant) what Lorient have done is a bit unfair on the player. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingman Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Kind of feel for him over this, but not shocked this as happened. Poor showing from his club though he a deal had already been agreed beforehand: "It is incomprehensible," said Ayew. "I was told that I could leave for 12 million Euros, but now they are asking for 10 million in pounds with two million in bonuses, which makes up about 17 million Euros. What the hell! "This meeting finished very badly. I am really very annoyed, but it is incredible what they are doing to me. They were telling me about how much Amavi was bought for by Aston Villa, but I am not Amavi. We are two different players who have two different situations. They are basically saying that English clubs can only pay more because they have money. "It is finished for me, they bought me for 5 million Euros and they are blocking me. I am in Birmingham, I am on my way to Aston Villa. Nothing will change my decision. I told them: But why do you want to keep me at this point?" "It is the right moment. My wife speaks English. In any case I am no longer going to training. It is finished for me. "It is true that I have a contract, but I had a good year, they will make a good profit and you cannot change the rules of the game like that. I can leave for one sum but if it is Aston Villa I am worth more. In my head in any case I have left." Sounds like the club have done a Delph on him DAD = Done A Delph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest of our deals in this window will probably be loans or freebies like Adebayor and Cambiasso so don't think that will make much difference.

Dr_Pangloss Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 I guess we move on, he's worth no where near the fee they're now asking for and IMO not worth the fee that was originally agreed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice to see we are still held in such regard by someone outside the country. yep, Aston villa is still a big name on the continent Big name all over the world I know for a fact we have a big following in Turkey. I went to Poland last week on business and in places like Poznan and even where our offices are (near polish/German border) I saw people with villa shirts. Fans if other teams here I know still regard us as s big club. Seems sometimes our own fans think so little of the club than outsiders. We are and always will be one of the biggest clubs in UK Europe and the world regardless. I'm proud to be a villa fan and never hide the fact even when we were at our lowest. Things are looking up now personally and can't wIt for the first game of the season 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post HanoiVillan Posted July 25, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted July 25, 2015 Moeen Ali has performed very well for England during the ramadan, last season against India and against the Aussies in the first test. I'm not sure it has that much of a negative effect on your performance. He's also a cricketer. It's the only sport less physically demanding than napping. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't name one but people come out with this. Then they retort 'not my job it's the clubs job'. Not having a dig just find it amusing that fans always come out with this sort of stuff but never a genuine name or value. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briny_ear Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 I guess we move on, he's worth no where near the fee they're now asking for and IMO not worth the fee that was originally agreed. Can you let us have the formula for working out how much a player is "worth"? And more importantly send it to the club. Whatever, I am clear the club should very firmly tell Lorient to **** off on this one. It is a bit of low-life, fairly clumsy racketeering they are going in for here. The Trotters would be proud of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
