gilbertoAVFC Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 I personally don't understand why he is such a bad CB, cos that should be his natural position. A monster when we are under pressure against decent, long-ball teams but should not be playing if we are trying to break teams down. So poor on the ball. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 2 hours ago, HanoiVillan said: If finances are a major issue, then of course we need to evaluate whether players are worth the financial outlay. Jedinak is in his mid-thrirties, and as I understand it on a big wage. I love the guy to bits, and I would like him to still be here next season if possible, but I don't think it would be beyond understanding if we had to move him, Whelan or both, on next season. We can't have players holding hands.....If he plays centre half next season, fine we will see how that goes, but we need someone dominant ,who doesn't need protection.

Zatman Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 I think we cant go into next season with both Whelan and Jedinak on the books. One is enough and hopefully we can find a creative way to get rid of one 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the worst villa player on the pitch by a million miles. Our support pisses me off sometimes! Perhaps you should think with your head not with your heart. He's on a lot of money here and if you haven't noticed we're in a spot of financial bother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I understand this completely and wouldn’t see a great issue if he goes assuming the finances are as bad as we are led to believe. It’s the accusations of him not being that good and being shown up the other day that frustrate me. If he goes it’ll be because we can’t afford him not because we don’t want him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Apparently on £50k a week. Unfortunately another one not going anywhere until the contract runs out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With any luck someone abroad fancies making him a marquee signing, he has made his retirement money here already and he seems like the kind of big character not afraid of moving on. I like him, but he is one we can definitely afford to lose at this point in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 I am afraid to look at the rest of the contracts if he is on 50k again not his fault and dont think he is phoning it in but bloody hell its crazy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Must've been on a similar amount at Palace. Easy to make with hindsight but we shouldn't have gone so mad with transfers in September 2016 as we've got badly burnt with a fair few of them. Were never going up that season so should've rebuilt the team more gradually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuwabatake Sanjuro Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Glen Whelan has to be on a minimum £30k a week too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just cannot understand why anybody would sanction such a salary, for a contract which would take us beyond the parachute money cliff wall drop off. It's totally staggering, the money for that kind of wage would very clearly not be there without promotion. It just beggars belief, worse that the Gabby contract even. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hornso Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Here's what he said from the Australian World Cup camp the other day in regards to Villa. About the playoff loss: Quote "I don't have a lot a lot of words for it," Jedinak said. "It's not a nice way to lose, especially in a game of that magnitude. "A really disappointing way to end what was a good season; one that we all had high hopes for but unfortunately on the day we let ourselves down." About his future: Quote Jedinak says he "isn't too sure" what the future holds for him. "I haven't really had too much discussion with anyone from there yet. There may be a decision to make," he said. "That might change, but I do have a year left on my contract." Link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 I’m still astounded we gave him a 3 yr contract. Surely it should’ve been 2 max, with then options to extend... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GREAT_BEARD_OF_ZEUS Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 He hasn't got it in him to play midfield twice a week, but he's still a very effective player to have. I think he'd be great as the central defender in a back 3. It's a less physically demanding position than DM, so we'd get more games out of him. Plus if it's true we're getting Tuanzebe back again next season, I think a potential 3 of: Chester* - Jedi - Tuanzebe could really suit all 3 of them. * if we manage to keep hold of him!!
