rubberman Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Weren't the majority of our new boys on 5 yr contracts? Accepting there might be break clauses due to relegation, but otherwise we can play John Stones-like hardball. We will have no reason to sell, particularly for a loss.

useless Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 I think the opposite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyblade Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Man, when is he coming back? He could be crucial for the run-in. I look at our bench against West Brom and I was actually hoping Garde wouldn't make any subs it was that bad. With him on it, we have a potential game changer.

Rds1983 Posted January 26, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted January 26, 2016 Thank you for that video. Something about this season that actually makes me smile. I'd forgotten how ridiculously fast he looks going past people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dante_Lockhart Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 All I want from him to do during his time off is watch footage of himself and see how selfish he can be sometimes. Hopefully he'll see it and become a better team player because of it. Kind of like in GOAL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villan-scott Posted January 26, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted January 26, 2016 I was only thinking about him yesterday and how his recovery is going. It was New Years when he got injured, so 3 or 4 weeks in, hopefully not too far away now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted January 26, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted January 26, 2016 Actually I think it was 8-10, but best to assume the worst 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 With Villa's physio room, you should always assume the worst and then some more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supernova26 Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 (edited) 10 weeks plus the weeks Garde adds-on because he doesn't fit into his Roy Hodgson 'don't move from your position' style of football. Highly unlikely to be with us next season....a wage dip in The Championship when he can play in the Premier League with proper wages? Sadly I think it is quite likely he has played his last game for us Edited January 26, 2016 by supernova26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highly unlikely to be with us next season....a wage dip in The Championship when he can play in the Premier League with proper wages? Sadly I think it is quite likely he has played his last game for us Garde is the antithesis of 'don't move from you position' football - our midfield is pretty fluid and Ayew plays all over the park. Ironically, if anything, Traore as he is at the moment would be well suited to a 'don't move from your position' style of football, he's very very good at one thing - learning how to use that thing and how to do other things when stopping the ball and bursting past someone isn't the right thing is exactly what his weakness is at the moment. I think he's highly likely to be with us next season, when hopefully we'll see him develop a more rounded game to go with that blistering, exciting punch he has - if he does, then there's a good chance another Premier league team might want him - at the moment, I'd be surprised if there were any in for him or at least any who wouldn't immediately be thinking of loaning him out. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supernova26 Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 (edited) Fluid football which involves midfielders not entering into the opponents box you mean? Listen to somebody who knows more than most about this stuff. LVG wouldn't be getting as much stick at Man Utd if he had Adama to come off the bench.
