I'm not sure clauses like that should be allowed, but if they are then I can see why they do it. I don't imagine they particularly care who he plays for, but rather they care that he actually plays. They'd know he's less likely to get game time here, especially if we manage to hold onto Grealish. I wouldn't see him as a direct replacement for Grealish in any event. He's more of a wide player from what I've seen of him for Wales. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would act in competition with Adomah/Green and possibly up front as well. I suspect the idea would have been him and Grealish which would have been ideal. I don't like the idea of a "minimum games" clause to be honest, but if he is as good as he is meant to be, surely he would be playing a lot of games anyway?

I would want us to secure the same deals if we were to loan our youngsters out. Suliman's 2 loans have been absolute shambles. I don’t think we will be able too. We don’t have the media nor the effect to make people think that our youngster will be a world beaters. We (as Villa fans) knew that Grealish was something special (ofcourse weve thought about Gardner and others too). Yet he wasn’t well known out there as these guys, the debate about England or Ireland began after his feature playing on the PL. Although he was a bit young at the time. These days getting a loan out of these top teams seems as you’re getting the best deal all the time, yet we’ve seen Onomah isnt better than what we have. I don’t think we will be able to do the same also from another reason, we don’t have Real Madrid team in our side, if there was a player who we could force other clubs to play and he’s that good, we would have played him in our side. Top teams are another story, couple of a very good players nowadays are a rejects from those teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really disagree, but I was looking at it from liverpool's point of view. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

screwdriver Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 I can see why they look at Woodhouse...he's a full international with Wales but Id rather take experienced players who arn't in their premier league teams squad like Snodgrass than these youngsters. Why not play our own youngsters let them lose possession on the edge of there own box and get a rollicking from the north stand instead of some young toe rag like Josh ohnamah who'll piss off back to spurs, never play a stupid square ball on the edge of his own box again when he gets to put on the white jersey of tottingham, having experienced the vitriol of Villa fans still ringing in his ears. The youngsters blow hot and cold. Everyone raves about liverpools other kid ryan kent being white hot. however I don't remember him at all when barnsley played at Villa Park, it's all PR to get some champ club to pay 5m for him when his contract is up. I imagine the same hype surrounded Henry Lansbury when he was at Arsenal. If theres a shirt just give it to O'Hare let him make a few **** ups. the only way they get better is by playing games. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
