Guest av1 Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 I'm not comparing this kid to McGinn who has been absolutely brilliant, but £5m for this lad would come close to McGinn levels of daylight robbery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put an attack minded LB behind him and he will lethal cutting inside. ye really good point, we do need a good LB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post mjmooney Posted May 28, 2019 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted May 28, 2019 Just watched that interview. What an absolutely great bloke. I don't think I can remember a time when so many of our players have been so openly enthusiastic about the club. We've had excellent players in the past who have been happy to use us a career springboard to further their careers elsewhere. It doesn't feel like that anymore, there seems to be a new team spirit to do great things with Villa. It has to be down to Smith. We have a real chance to build a dynasty here. I can still reel off a stable Villa XI from the Saunders era. Likewise Taylor and Little. But since then it's been like a revolving door. Maybe that's about to change. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it was really nice to hear tbh I feel like the club is back on track finally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 We have great training facilities and a big stadium. It will be a massive step up for most players from where they were before. Never underestimate the size of our club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomaszk Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Would like this done quickly. Teams with good recruitment will be all over him for £5m. Southampton, Watford, and probably even Ajax would be sniffing around if their squad is about to be torn apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avfc1982am Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 He's not going anywhere. Will be sealed FT in the next couple of weeks. After his performances this season and his potential he will 100% be stepping out for us next year. I have so impressed with not only his attitude but with the way he has embraced the club and fans. The kid has been absolute quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CraigyAVFC1987 Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Just seen El Ghazi decided not to Fast yesterday so he was on full form for the game, I like the guy more and more , hes got so much potential. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

omariqy Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 This guy has all the ability in the world and these last 3 months I have seen the commitment and hunger that was missing previously. He is a nightmare for full backs as he can run either side of them and with pace and control. I would be shocked if we didn't sign him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaVilla Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 I do wonder that although the pre agreed fee is 5m ish, isn't that shifty dude his agent?, I bet they will be asking for a huge "fee" as the actual transfer is low? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skarroki Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 His Twitter profile now says he's an Aston Villa player, no mention of parent club, or being on loan. Am I reading into the tea leaves too much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
