AntrimBlack Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Don't underestimate the pull of Lorna Facial from Sherwood and a pull from Lorna - he's gotta be ours! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villan-scott Posted August 5, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted August 5, 2015 Please let this happen. Long term we are the better prospect I would say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyAnty Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Brendan McLoughlin @bren_mcloughlin 5m5 minutes ago A Traore held talks with #avfc yest & #scfc today before flying home to mull over decision. Believe AV offer better but Barca pals at Stoke How reliable is this guy? Interesting if true. Starting to think our interest may be genuine. Do players really follow their pals like that? He should use his head not his heart IMO, it's a long career. If that still means Stoke then fair play, I won't begrudge him or them, but I hope he's a bit more adult about it than that suggests. School time is over. He's a journo who writes for The Times, The Mirror, Express and BBC Sport.....He normally tweets things after they happen. Hes the boy who bbc fell out with Rangers over. They are refusing to cover their games now i believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted August 5, 2015 Moderator Share Posted August 5, 2015 Brendan McLoughlin @bren_mcloughlin 5m5 minutes ago A Traore held talks with #avfc yest & #scfc today before flying home to mull over decision. Believe AV offer better but Barca pals at Stoke Well he has well and truly covered his arse there hasn't he, if he goes to either of us he is covered and if he goes to neither he is covered. Quite an amazing feet of arse covering in so few characters. Shame he couldn't get the main detail right in terms of the order of the clubs he visited.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJT123 Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 So, tell me Trent, do you think we will land this chap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted August 5, 2015 Moderator Share Posted August 5, 2015 So, tell me Trent, do you think we will land this chap? Well.... we've got some plus points, they've got some plus points.... but then he may decide to stay in Spain..... Honestly I've no idea. I know Sherwood rates him, I know we are trying and I know there has been contact. Sherwood has a pretty impressive record of landing targets this summer and those around him have done a sterling job so if they don't ce la vie I will be happy that they tried and with what we have got and get. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dont_do_it_doug. Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 The fact that we are genuinely in for this lad leaves me comfortable that even if we don't land him, we will go out and get our plan B and he is unlikely to be a Tonev style pile of shit. That's the difference this summer. So yeah, ce la vie 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brendon is a decent journo, Used to enjoy his match reports on Villa when he worked for Express and Star, if he isn't a villa fan then he has a decent affinity for us. Saying that i'm not sure how close his links are to the club now he's working for national rags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 They keep saying his barca pals. Aren't they 4 or 5 years older than him? As he's just out of the academy I can't imagine they're "pals". Ex-Colleagues, maybe. Spainish speakers anyway, Yeah Munisea and Bojan are a bit older but think Stoke have signed someone from Barca B this season? What nationality is this lad anyway, with the name I presume he's of African descent so you could balance this out by saying we have plenty of French speakers in our dressing room. Are Liverpool totally out of this race now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are Liverpool totally out of this race now? Born and raised in Catalunya, of Malian descent according to wiki. I really doubt language will have anything to do with it anyway.

Shomin Geki Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 All this flair, all this attacking bombast, makes me think Sherwood has 'Ride of the Valkyries' pumping in his office when drawing up transfer plans. Smells like victory. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thevillanofoz Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 There s a good chance he'll have a basic understanding of French at least as well as Spanish as he'll speak Catalan which is a mash up of the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
