I understand peoples frustrations as we want players like Sinclair gone, but we're also at a point under new ownership where we have to show the footballing world that we are not the same old Villa. Under Lerner we sold to the first bidder like it was some first come first serve policy, now we need to stand firm even when we are desperate to want Sinclair gone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not as a person but he is a player, one of the worst I've seen in a long time. A total non-presence and all round streak of piss on the ball. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 PLEASE just sell him, FFS. I'm begging you here Villa. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El-Reacho Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 There's no way Celtic will pay him what he's earning here. If we show both Celtic and the player we're not willing to just get rid at all costs it could save us paying his loyalty bonus and having to pay the difference in his wages even after he leaves. We finally have football people running the club - there's bound to be logic behind these negotiations. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyBM Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 theres still so many areas the club needs to strengthen, a right back and a striker have got to be next priority surely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think he scored 20+ in the Championship last year. I'd rather we scouted him while he was playing football, but given the disasters this club has had with pocket tweets in recent times, maybe monitoring his social media output is more valuable. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you'd bother really reading what I wrote, you'd see I didn't specify Amavi as the one to go but, as one of three, each of whom it is possible to make a case for keeping.Yes, Amavi is good going forward but, he lacks somewhat defensively, as does Bennett. While Cissokho is more of a defender. Personally, I like the idea of having a defensive fullback and a more attack-minded wing-back, giving different options for formations. On the right side for example, I'd like a combination of Kyle Naught on. as the defensive back and DeAndre Yedlin as the wing-back. Edited July 10, 2016 by 1958Villan unfinished thought.

I've long been of the opinion that you only get to know someone by watching them 24hrs a day. Maybe we wouldn't have signed the likes of Richards and Lescott if we'd adopted this total scouting approach sooner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daweii Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Some nice goals there. I was too distracted though by his Vardy style arm cast, I kept looking to see if it stayed on his arm the entire video and it did. That said I wouldn't be opposed to this guy coming to Villa it seems he has a knack for scoring at this level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 I don't understand why some people are getting so worked up about us not letting go of certain players, or for certain fees. If the club feels like they can afford to do that surely it's a good sign, it's the incomings we should be concerned about. Worst case scenario we have a player which we don't include in the squad and/or send out on loan, or one who gets a rocket up the butt and starts performing, as in truth some of these players were/are not as shite as they have performed since they came to us. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abdomlahor Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 The Kodjia link came from a fake twitter account with 10 followers which was retweeted by one of those Villa "news" accounts, which never actually seem to think to check the validity of the account they're referencing. Pet hate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 It may well be bullshit. But he's probably somebody we've looked at, regardless of Twitter rumours. He was one of the 5 highest scorers in the division last year, and plays for a much smaller club we can bully in the transfer market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villan-scott Posted July 10, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted July 10, 2016 I wonder who's next? No strong links at this stage. Hopefully a striker and a creator are being lined up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
