eholm Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 I don’t believe for one minute that Bruce would go chasing after ANY potential signing if they had decided to join another club following agreeing a deal with us. No chance 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PompeyVillan Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 This is brilliant. If it's true though I'd rather us not bother with him either way, can't be done with players who are not interested in playing for us. Hope it isn't true though, seems like a good player.

Wainy316 Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 But it's just all Twitter guff again. Have we not learned anything from the last few weeks? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skarroki Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Fair play to Bryan if he's chosen to go to Fulham. They've got a good manager and squad, bought well and LB probably their weakest position. He owes us nothing at all and Prem opportunity + higher wages most likely is a no brainer for him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the crazies during transfer windows is what makes them so entertaining. I, for one, refuse to learn. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GENTLEMAN Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 6 minutes ago, philthevillan said: I have heard the deal was done, including photos. Then before it could be announced Fulham came in and agent told Bruce they were off to London. Story is that Bruce hasn’t given up and is following him to Fulham to try and change his mind. Agent apparently doesn’t think Villa’s deal will stand legally. Go on Brucie! But when you say heard, do you mean read on Twitter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junxs Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 1 minute ago, hippo said: seriously ? - up front is our major weakness - Kjodia a pale shadow of himself 2 seasons ago - looks our best striker. RDL can slot in at full back. You lose something playing a right footer as an attacking fullback. Not so much of a problem for wingers as they have skill and sometimes prefer cutting onto the stronger foot, but fullbacks are usually overlapping and need to whip it in first time. Kodjia is a better striker than Taylor is a left back, plus you have options like Hogan, Davis, RHM. Taylor is the only natural left back we have hence I think it's our weakest position - I'd say it was blindingly obvious actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vive_La_Villa Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Surely Joe Bryan isn’t the only decent left back out there to sign! Anyone would think we’ve just missed out on Roberto Carlos reading this thread. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philthevillan Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 The Bruce line surprised me too but the person who told me wouldn’t make it up. They had a good source so I’m inclined to believe it. Happy silly season folks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted August 8, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted August 8, 2018 Not really too bothered either way really. He looked like he would be an improvement but we have other positions that need to take priority really. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Czechlad Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 This sounds incredibly silly. Bruce chasing after a player to the point of getting in his car to follow him? what is this, a 90s football soap opera? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
