Jas10 Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Just reminded, by all the photos and vids that were released yesterday, that we have such a feel good atmosphere and wonderful team spirit & unity at the club. The job that Dean has done is remarkable, it can’t be underestimated. Well and truly took us out of the doldrums We mean business this season 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't cut inside and taken a shot since the end of May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Could perhaps move on this Summer. He's done enough for other clubs to be interesting, is coming into his prime and doesn't have that long left on his contract. Not sure his value will be higher than it is now. He's a frustrating footballer in that he shows flashes of brilliance but ultimately, he's been poor far too often for us to rely on him to take us to the next level. If a bid of £10m came in for him I think we'd let him go. Same goes for Trezeguet, but the injury is a problem so will be hard to shift. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No consistency to his play at any level. Has little runs of 4-5 games where he looks like he's finally living up to his potential, only to become completely anonymous for the next 4-5. That said, we got him for peanuts and he can't be on much of a salary. If he wants to continue to be a bench player for us this season, I'm 100% ok with it, otherwise we should move him on, especially with Bailey looking to come in.

Tomaszk Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 I don't think he'll react well to Ashley Young's grumpy style of moan and criticise everyone and everything. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaVilla Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 (edited) he is seriously not very good, he just runs in to things or loses the ball, then he insists on taking a well placed free kick and bangs it straight in to the wall, yikes, when you see younger players like Bidace, A.Ramsey and Chuka etc being so comfortable on the ball. Watching him on the same pitch and Buendia makes him look like a guy who has won a competition to play 45 minutes for Villa in a friendly. We have Grealish, Buendia and Traore as the AM 3, for me Ghazi just isnt good enough backup, nor Trez (but he's injured anyway), we really do need at least 1 more player this summer who can push traore and offer some genuine competition to the current first choice AM three. Obviously Bidace and Chuka might get some game time this season, but we really need some genuine high level competition/cover for the current trio.

Popular Post bobzy Posted July 21, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 21, 2021 Potential unpopular opinion, but I’d keep him with us for the long term as a squad player. He’s effective enough without being brilliant and doesn’t strike me as the type to kick up a fuss. In fact, almost the opposite - I feel that if he knows he’s “loved” and comfortable with where he is then he’ll do ‘well enough’ and I think we saw that last season. Perfect squad player. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your opinion is your opinion, and it’s that’s absolutely fine, and an opinion shared by many. However, Calling him Ghazi is the equivalent of calling Conor McGregor ‘Gregor’ Makes your opinion look kinda shitty if you can’t even get his name right. A bit like if I said ‘I love Donald’s food. They make great burgers’. Now whether that’s right or wrong - it just looks and sounds like a shit opinion. No? Edit: my bad. El Ghazi means ‘the Warrior’ ergo ‘Ghazi’ means ‘warrior’ Seems my opinion of surnames is shitty after all Edited July 22, 2021 by Thug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedClaretAndBlue Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 He’s just copying Dean Smith and JT who can regularly be heard calling him Ghazi. Bunch of insensitive disrespectful rapscallions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciggiesnbeer Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 (edited) Well he certainly is a sellable asset. I just dont get why we would want to? Ten goals in 28 apps for a winger? Plenty of Premier League clubs would love him. I wouldn't be surprised to see him go to Leeds. Bielsa has worked with him before and is a fan. Would be a shame to see him go. Good squad player who can step up when needed. Edited July 22, 2021 by ciggiesnbeer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nepal_villan Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 I like El Ghazi, but watching him today I had similar thoughts to that of @MaVilla. The Academy players seem to have caught-up, if not surpassed him technically. His main attributes now are his experience and penalty taking ability, not much else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
