Villan4Life Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Paddy Riley was at St Andrews last night for Blues vs Bolton. Rumours he was there to watch Zack Clough. Will be good if it was Clough he went to watch as he is a talent 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villan4Life Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 http://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2016/02/23/report-aston-villa-rivalling-swansea-city-for-readings-hal-robso/ Quote Aston Villa are considering making a move for Hal Robson-Kanu this summer, Get Reading reports. The winger, a Welsh international, is out of contract this summer, and he is refusing to hold extension talks until the end of the season. The academy graduate has been at the club for 11 years, but he is said to be keen on returning to the Premier League, as he wants to spend his peak years in the top flight. At 26-years-old, Robson-Kanu has just entered his best years of football, and the 30-capped international is considering leaving on a Bosman transfer in the summer. Villa are planning to approach Robson-Kanu in the summer, although any move for the winger will likely depend upon which league the club are in next season. As they are likely to fall into the Championship, the Reading star could consider a transfer to Villa Park as only a sideways move. Swansea City have also been linked with the winger, with Wales Online reporting that they want to bring the Welsh winger to the Liberty Stadium, knowing that he will be a value signing on a Bosman deal.

To be fair we have been linked with that Robson Kanu since Lambert was first here!! i doubt the likes of Paddy Riley would bother to watch him as his name been in his notepad for 5 years!! He was deffo at the Blues game last night though!! Edited February 24, 2016 by Villan4Life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're laughing at you already. FFS get out the tin foil hats, that conspiracy theory is a new all time low for VT, ddid. [emoji23] If there has to be an ulterior motive I would suggest the scouting team are trying to justify their jobs given "the review". Or they could be just doing their jobs properly, who knows? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted February 24, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted February 24, 2016 Looking forward to a complete overhaul in the summer. If we can get talented young players such as Zach Clough, in all our key positions, complimented with Grealish and hopefully Amavi and Veretout for a year at least, then we can really build something.

AndyBM Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 would the clubs priorities be the same come summer as they supposedly were in january, a striker and a goalkeeper? i personally dont rate bunn much, nor guzan tbh, so id like to see a new keeper in, and we definitely need a striker who knows where the goal is.

StefanAVFC Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Robson-Kanu is a good Championship player. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 All this talk of this and that player not being that good, but being good championship players, is for me a short sighted narrative. We don't want a team of those types otherwise if we get promoted (and indeed if we get relegated to begin with) we'll stuck a bunch of players who aren't good enough.

Yes. leaving the manager stranded for signings and funds, making as many cut backs as possible to save pennies Hoping things turn out for the best without actually being proactive about our problems 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not been that impressed when I've seen him. Stats are sort of okay 17 starts, 6 appearances of the bench, 1 goal, 5 assists. Not awful, but not setting the division on fire. For fans of much less meaningful statistics, I had a look at his WhoScored rating, not a patch on Lichaj or Lolley! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
