Farlz Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Thing with El Ghazi is he's pretty much always the one involved in our good moments. Shame he lacks consistency but I'm a fan. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Hope we sign him. If he keeps developing and starts to realize his potential, we can have a ready-made PL player for the 2020 season. Will be certainly worth whatever nominal fee we'll have to pay. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do you think the fee will be nominal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don_Simon Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 When trying to find out if there's a future fee agreed, I saw this absolute gem from the Beeb Sport website... "Adaptable twice-capped Netherlands international El Ghazi can also play at left-back and in the centre of defence". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he was signed as Jedinak backup at centreback 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember reading an 8m figure when he signed, which is nominal compared to what it would cost to sign a PL calibre winger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante_Lockhart Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 I could have sworn it was a 4.5m clause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was good, worked hard and offered a threat forward. Should actually have scored second half but took an extra touch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted March 2, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted March 2, 2019 I don't know what to think. Ultimately though I don't think we need to be spending money on anybody who can be poor/anonymous for 95% of the game but be doing something amazing for the remaining 5%. That's a luxury we just can't afford. We'd be much better off with someone who is pretty decent for 60% of the game and better than decent for 40% of the game even if they are never truly astonishing.

lexicon Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 If he keeps up that level of effort, he'll be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avcol Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 He was very good today and has improved recently. Needs to work on his finishing and composure. I don't think his work rate can be questioned much even through our bad spell but he's obviously a confidence player. If he could put it together consistently I'd definitely want him on a permanent basis. He's still quite young and he seems to have that star quality, it's just about extracting it each and every week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 His reaction to his miss pretty much said it all to me, just placed his head down in an "of course I missed" way and felt sorry for himself. A sap of a footballer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there's a decent player in there, just needs to find a level of consistency. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A sap of a footballer. Ridiculous statement. El Ghazi was very good yesterday, offered a lot going forward and tracked back well to help out the full back. He should have finished the chance he had, but you can't score them all. He's by far the best winger we currently have in our squad. For me we should be signing him in the summer and working on improving him as a football, he has all the attributes to be a good player for us. We've seen it before with foreign players taking time to settle into English football and I think this is the case with El Ghazi. Unsuprisingly he looks a lot better with Grealish back in the team, along with the rest of the team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vreitti Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 He's a decent enough player, but I doubt he'll develop into a top class player anytime soon. As things stand, I'd pass and invest elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smg Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Not instantly excellent or consistent therefore not good enough for the Villa. We have lost a number of promising players because of this attitude from the fans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
