There's a difference between 'wanting to leave' (which is a mental state - maybe he did, maybe he didn't) and 'requesting a transfer' (which is an act, and which has particular legal/contractual repercussions).

Lol As I have said, no one knows the facts, players in these situations turn down moves all the time. Schweinsteiger is in the same situation. Word removed? A. Doesn't want to play for another club. B. Doesn't want to play for Reading. C. Wants to try against all odds to get another chance to play at his boyhood club. ( whether it might seem deluded to fans whi hate him and know nothing of the inside situation or not) D. That failing, has a family and financial future to think about, may as well get as much money as he can get. Not unheard of in the industry, or in any other. No sod all that, he is a thick, lazy word removed with no brains, oh and is OBESE. Lol Some of the tripe people come out with when they just don't like someone. Lol Well I'll say it again - I have absolutely no interest in him as a person- I genuinely do not give a flying fig and will never ever be abusive towards him, I don't believe in this. My stand point is simply based upon him not being good enough to play for Aston Villa Fc in my humble opinion 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villarocker Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Right all, I think I have sussed out what's going on between Dr Xia and Agbonlahor. It's a complete misunderstanding and something that got lost in translation, as follows: Dr Xia: "Gabby, you want go Reading?" Gabby: just stands there shaking his head and says "no". Dr Xia: "come on Gabby, you must go Reading, it's good for you". Gabby: "I don't want to go reading" Dr Xia: "but Gabby don't you want prove you a man?" Gabby takes offence and storms out and all because he thinks Dr Xia wants to send him to reading classes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villan-scott Posted September 1, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted September 1, 2016 I've come to check out the Dr Xia thread after the best summer transfer window in memory, and all we can talk about is a tweet about Gabby. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

praisedmambo Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Really enjoyed watching the Any Given Sunday clip and there are plenty of chairmen who get involved with players, so I think 'yeah I like it.' Just because RDM isn't on twitter telling us stuff doesn't mean he's not doing anything—same for Clarke and the rest of the coaches. we all obviously have our own opinions, which is fine and normal, but surely you've got to allow yourself even a bit of hope. We just spent a **** load of money—there is reason to be positive and patient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
