Not many 20 year olds have scored 26 goals in one season, I think he’s outstanding same as most young players, he needs 2/3 years of playing a lot of football, if he stays at chelsea this year makes 5-10 starts in the cups and then another 10-20 sub appearances then he wont do a whole lot more, the slide will start and theres every chance he'll be another bamford / mceachran / mancienne chelsea youth cup winning teams and players who went on to play for them - 2010 - McEachran (22 games) Bruma (9) 2012 - Ake (11) Piazon (3) Chalobah (1) Baker (1) 2014 - christensen (43) loftus cheek (33) musonda (7) solanke (1) brown (1) 2015 - aina (3) abraham (3) scott (1) 2016 - tomori (1) youngsters do not make it at chelsea, he will be not be outstanding if he stays there (i personally think he will, he'll stay as 3rd choice and play the EL) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supervillan78 Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 See we've been linked with Matt Targett on a couple of cites. Would be ironic having missed out on Bryan. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abdulaziz1 Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 If I was Gary Cahill I would give it a chance at Villa. Helping Villa to go up with make him remembered for a long time in his first club he began at. There is no choices from Premier League teams either. We have a good relationship with Chelsea at the moment I’d guess thanks to Terry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be sort of a wish but I think with Terry’s involvement no one could threat us apart from Lampard (ofcourse we’re still a much better place to come to). I think the Terry influence could get us Cahill and Abraham (assuming that they’re willing to get out of Chelsea). Again it could only be a wishful thought, but we’ll only hope.

But from what I read they were selling this guy to Fulham for 15m so he can’t be bad at this level I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alreadyexists Posted August 20, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted August 20, 2018 (edited) The Mendez stuff was all nonsense then wasn’t it? All we’ve done is sign one Goalkeeper on loan, with a buy option, that Mendez is agent for... I think the rest was just paper talk.

Maybe I'm reading too much into this - and I can't give strict examples because I can't remember them and piece it altogether, but: I got the feeling when Moreira joined, this was the beginning of the Mendez stuff but Bruce threw his toys out the pram and we've since seen a compromise whereby SB picks players according to the owners' strategy. Some of the press conferences I've watched and SB post-match AVTV stuff just gave me the feeling something wasn't quite right. Why would SB pick Moreira, why would we then sign someone SB was keen to state 'we've been watching him for a few years'. The way he talks about Moreira is just weird. As I say, can't give much solidity to my gut feeling above - but interested to know if anyone thought the same? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless there is something in Bruce’s contract stating he has control, would the new owners really back down immediately on their supposed plan? Oh yes Mr Bruce anything you say Mr Bruce.

Oh yes Mr Bruce anything you say Mr Bruce. What would the alternative be? Declare your support for a manager and then sensationally remove him from his position owing to a difference in strategy? Hardly gets the era of ownership off to a great start. Also, there is a middle ground where both the owners and Bruce diplomatically agree to a mix of strategy. Moreira wasn’t a Bruce signing, so who’s signing was it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mazrim Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 He was one of the best players in the league not so long ago. Obviously his star has fallen since then but if he hasn't lost too much pace and trickery he could be amazing for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest av1 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Local rags don't think Bolasie wants to drop down a level. Yannick Bolasie is unlikely to drop down into the Championship, BirminghamLive understands. Aston Villa have been linked with a move for the 29-year-old winger as they look for wide reinforcements before the end of the month. Bolasie is understood to be one of several players under consideration although no official approach has been made. Middlesbrough have registered an interest, though, and Bolasie's initial response was that he didn't fancy sacrificing top-flight football.

Dante_Lockhart Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 You either want to play football week in week out, or you're happy playing a bit part in top-flight football. Thems the breaks. If they don't want to drop down to do what they love then screw 'em and move onto the next. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
