I still think he's a quality player, he should thrive in the championship next season, he knows the league He's never played in the championship 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Never played above league 2 when we signed him I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AValon Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Theres a few I'd get rid of before him, but £6m is reasonable. Sell sell sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, good luck to him trying to sue me half way across the world for calling him educationally challenged and having some mental problems due to the environment he grew up. Not to mention I am paraphrasing people who have worked with him for years and never been sued and I have talked to several people involved in the United's academy to say similar. I'm sorry you have to live your life in such fear as a 'murican. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm game. Westwood was on £35k a week in the premiership and that has presumably been halved, now the club is in the championship. That would make his wage £17.5k a week. Westwood has excellent passing stats at first glance but, when you break down those stats, they aren't at all impressive. Probably 90% of Westwood's successful passes, either go sideways, to a fullback or fellow deep-lying midfielder or, backwards, to a centre-back or the goalkeeper. Forward passes over 5 metres were very rarely successful. His corners and free kicks very rarely beat the first defender. His successful tackles and headers were virtually none existent. So, getting £6m for him would be something of a coup. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dante_Lockhart Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 We need to be more ruthless. You don't accept the first bid that comes in for a player, no matter how good you think it is. You try and haggle up. Tell them you want 8m plus some add-ons for appearances/goals (Or do a Levy and demand 14m). They'll say 7m. You agree on 7.5m. There you go, an extra 1.5m for a day or two of waiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dn1982 Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 (edited) Think we may need 2 transfer speculation threads soon. One in one out. I'd like to keep Westwood but £6m is a lot to turn down for someone we could replace for free ie Huddlestone (I don't think he's signed anywhere yet) Edited July 6, 2016 by dn1982 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you know we haven't haggled? This was mooted weeks ago. Most deals aren't like FM when you just click a button. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael118 Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Westwood is a much better player than Huddlestone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huddlestone may be sluggish but other than that he's better than Westwood at almost everything else. He has a good range of passing, can deliver from set-pieces is also very hard to knock off the ball, can win headers and has a foot like a traction engine. Westwood can only pass sideways, can't shoot, can't deliver from set-pieces, is weak and can't win headers. I don't see how that makes him a much better player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
