We’re really not, you’re probably just exposed to more Villa stuff. Unfortunately football attracts the lowest calibre of people, but they’re pretty evenly spread across clubs.

Telling someone to get out of a club if they 'can't handle it' is outrageous and disgusting tbh. If people always bring up the 'wage' reason why they should have the right to direct abuse, then I wonder why they bother with professional sports at all to be interested in, it's obviously making lots pretty bitter, miserable beings.

Was just about to write the same. Football is no longer a game for the common folk. It is one of the most profitable entities in the world for companies and they will pay for those rights. These football players are a commodity and deserved to be payed as such. Now should any of them be making more than 1 million pounds a year? Probably not but I don't see any of us complaining about when we sign a new player. They bring joy to millions and that is worth what they earn.

They're still human beings and they deserve to be treated as such. It's really not a lot to ask; criticize his performance in the context of the team, but don't make it about him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xela Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 I think the difference is the way its delivered. I think Southgate was a whopper for not picking Jack. I said it on here. I wouldn't shout it at him in the streets or message him personally on Social Media saying that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 No quotes, no links, no facts but I hope they are correct. He is no where near good enough for any role in this current squad and should not take up one of the 25 squad places. Still have to find someone to take over at least part of his wages of course unless we want to pay him off. Quote Aston Villa star Henri Lansbury is set to leave before next week’s transfer window closes, Football Insider understands. The Midlands giants are keen to get the attacking midfielder, 29, off their wage bill after he dropped out of the first-team reckoning. A Villa source has told Football Insider that the club are listening to offers for Lansbury ahead of his contract expiring next summer. https://www.footballinsider247.com/exclusive-aston-villa-40k-a-wk-star-set-to-leave-permanent-move-possible/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villan4Life Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 (edited) Forest fans thought's on Noel Whelan's suggestion they should re-sign Lansbury. https://www.nottinghampost.com/sport/football/transfer-news/nottingham-forest-transfer-news-lansbury-4595586 Quote Nottingham Forest fans have been reacting to the suggestion Chris Hughton should bring Henri Lansbury back to the City Ground. Former Leeds United striker Noel Whelan has urged the Reds to re-sign the 29-year-old midfielder from Aston Villa. Lansbury left Forest to join Villa in 2017, but is said to have been made available for transfer by the Premier League club. “I would be looking very closely as a Championship club," said Whelan, speaking to Football Insider. “Forest might. Forest could do with someone like Henri Lansbury back there to be quite honest with you. "You’re talking about a midfield player with quality, aggression, creativity, set-piece taking.” Here's how Forest fans have been reacting on Twitter: PeterB: Please god no! We have 40 games left I cannot cope with his 4 games where he will be a world beater and then other 36 you would not know he’s playing! Cameron Clark: Just no. Midlands red: No thank you Phil Harrison: NO, just no bosstrade: No. He left. Move in. Ian: Rather have Carvalho back than Lansbury barry: Tbf him in a team with colback, lolly, grabs could be very good. Perry: Only turned up when he wanted to. I'd rather not personally jay nffc: No thanks 1 good game out of 6 Edited October 11, 2020 by Villan4Life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
