sne Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Seem like a solid signing for where we are now and at a reasonable price. Probably a competent squad option should we ever manage to get promoted. Although on reported high wages we won't lose money on this transfer due to the low signing fee.

TRO Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 (edited) 34 minutes ago, VillaCas said: My mate is a Forest fan and I asked him for the lowdown on Lansbury. He is pretty balanced and fair in his views and he said whilst they would have prefered to keep him and that he is one of their better players we are getting a player who is firmly championship level (hence the lack of competition for his signature I guess). He said he would class him as a true "midfielder" who is decent but didn't excel at either attacking or defending. Plus points were that he has a good engine, up to the physical challenge, is committed and looks to get forward and will contribute the odd goal here and there. The minus points were that he can often be caught out of position and that regularly the red mist decends and he gives away needless free-kicks and picks up bookings. He also said that he misses lots of games through injury and through bans and probably wouldnt command a place in a PL team All in all I think an upgrade on what we have but for me a stepping stone-type player. If he does a job in the squad to lift us up the table then all good Interesting. I would think that in our present position, stepping stone players will be the order of the day.....such is the demise we have experienced. However, the attributes you attribute to him are welcome from me. Ps nice to think that we haven't put the club under financial stress to do it.

Popular Post VILLAMARV Posted January 20, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted January 20, 2017 (edited) And the OS Quote Aston Villa is delighted to announce the signing of midfielder Henri Lansbury. The 26-year-old arrives at the club on a four-and-a-half-year deal and joins us from Nottingham Forest for an undisclosed fee. Lansbury, who came through the ranks at Arsenal under Arsene Wenger, becomes Steve Bruce’s second signing of the transfer window. The former England U21 international has won promotion to the Premier League on two occasions with both Norwich City and West Ham United. And he’s hoping to make it a hat-trick with Aston Villa. He said: “I am delighted to be here at Aston Villa. “As soon as I knew Aston Villa were interested, I wanted to come here. “It’s the size and reputation of the football club that attracted me. It’s a big, big name in the English game and I can’t wait to get started here now.” also sorted Edited January 20, 2017 by VILLAMARV 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest av1 Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 I know he is barely in door and will only have had 1 training session, but given our options I'm sure he'll be in Bruce's thinking for tomorrow. If not from the start, I'm sure we'll see him at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
