theboyangel Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Nasty injury hasn’t helped either and whilst out, the club bought more than 1 replacement. Never really had much opportunity so no way a flop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen many worse players play for us so hopefully he can get his career going again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VILLAMARV Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 https://www.avfc.co.uk/News/2018/01/23/de-laet-departs-on-loan Quote Aston Villa defender Ritchie De Laet has joined Royal Antwerp on loan for the remainder of the 2017/18 season. The defender returns to his native Belgium and links up with the team in which he spend the early stages of his professional career. lets hope he comes back fit as a fiddle to take Huttons place in the summer. Good luck Ritchie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapal_fan Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Shame as I really liked what I saw when he played (even though the results weren't great), but I liked his speed, his willingness to take someone on and whip it into the box. Just shows how well Elmo and Hutton have performed really 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osmark86 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 agreed. I think he has performed when we've seen him play but apparently not enough to force Hutton and Elmo away from the starting eleven. this loan move makes sense with Taylor and Bree still on the books.

sne Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Supposedly there is a £2 m buy out clause and he's willing to take a pay cut to make it happen? Quote Aston Villa defender Ritchie De Laet is willing to take a pay-cut to make his loan move to Royal Antwerp permanent in the summer transfer window, according to HLN. De Laet returned to Antwerp in the January transfer window on a loan deal for until the end of the season According to HLN, the Belgian club find the transfer fee of securing the services of De Laet on a permanent contract too high. It has been reported that Antwerp have a buying option of €2 million (£1.75m), but the fee is claimed to be too high for them. It has also been reported that De Laet is willing to take a pay-cut from his €1.5m-per-year (£1.31m) salary, but there is still a gap between what the 29-year-old defender wants and what Antwerp are able to pay. De Laet has struggled to make an impact at Villa, and it would be best for the former Stoke City prospect if he leaves the Villans in the summer transfer window - if not for Antwerp, then for another club in England. http://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2018/05/19/aston-villas-de-laet-reportedly-willing-to-take-pay-cut-to-join/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobzy Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 I’d probably take the money here, keep El Mohammady and Bree as right backs and potentially offer Hutton a 1-year extension too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed - but the article above suggests his move to Antwerp has a couple of hurdles to overcome - should he not move on I think he can offer something at this level. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Not needed at all, just getting him off the books will be a massive result in itself. IF Antwerp are crazy to give us a £1.5m fee, give him half as a golden handshake. See you later. job done. One down. Cracking result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
