There's better options than Rhodes out there Because he's unproven in the Premier League. He's a monster in the Championship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 If he'd have said this a few days go, the speculation on Benteke would have into overdrive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dounavilla Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 So I'm guessing this rules out Morrison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fear poor Tony might be lost in translation and get slammed if we have not pulled off Julian Draxler.

Sorry but it doesn't work like that. I also gave wrong information at one point, because I heard something. I do know things changed a LOT when it came to the takeover. It was only through relegation that the hand of Lerner finally relented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 My guess is it's an international but obviously not someone who is actually world class. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 I think he's just being positive. That Real Madrid striker we were linked with the other day looks pretty good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I read it I immediately thought of the old Slimani links. They have just signed Joel Campbell on loan so that is plausible, the type of player who is required for sure.

Thats the thing JV, even putting aside the fact we in the championship, "world class" is so subjective that he will be criticised whoever we bring in.

villaglint Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 I just burst out laughing when I read World Class thinking VT and the Internet is now going to piss itself for the next week until we get the name. To cut a lot of that chat at source I'll say this. There are probably less than 10 world class strikers in the world all of which cost over £50m and are firmly held assets at their respective clubs. I'd say our chances of signing of signing one of those would be around 1% and maybe that's being optimistic. I think if we are being ambitious we could get someone with the potential to be world class. Though you could say that about Adama to be honest.

villa82 Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 My guess: Didier Drogba. World class (was). Played in the Pl. Knows RDM. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Mariano, it came from the avillafan twitter account. Interestingly on the same night as Xia and Wyness met with reps from several Villa fan websites. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
