We're a soft touch when it comes to surplus. Who paying 3m for him? Their is a reason he couldn’t get a loan in prem when clubs were desperate for players on cheap. The is no clubs with money in champ due to Covid that he would improve. They all lost so much and had no tv money to help. all the foreign markets are suffering and he most likely would not go aboard. the so many average players out there that can’t get moves.

Mantis Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 A proper professional and I wish him all the best. Also a very good signing for them - Conor has always been a top Championship player. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason you just naming one club. He isn’t worth a fee to them. A fee can get you lot more younger player with resale value. Why would they offer a fee for player nobody else is interested in buying. This move is good for Villa as we don’t have a player wasting on the bench. He earned us premier league status. I think we got our vaule Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ciggiesnbeer Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 (edited) This the last year of his contract? Anyways Conor has been incredible value for us. One of our more successful transfers in the Championship imho. Its not a sign of failure we are in a different place now than a few years ago and we want to go for a different kind of player, its a compliment to the work he and other players have done in progressing us as a club. Good luck Conor! Edited August 30, 2021 by ciggiesnbeer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was too busy celebrating to see if the keeper made a mess of it, but near post so it's really difficult for the keeper. But it was also the delivery for indirect free kicks - pretty good if you ask me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post The_Steve Posted August 31, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 31, 2021 Great message. Aside from those critical goals he scored, forever grateful for how he stood up or his teammates - grabbing that Leeds player who scored that cheating goal, was prepared to scrap when he needed to. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
