Yes, he’s had a bad injury but he looks to be over that now, hopefully he starts the next game Cost them £25m, sitting on a £70.000/week contract, turning 30 next spring still recovering from a bad injury. Don't see that one happening even if we are promoted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Word out of Everton was that he wasn't the same player he used to be so his fitness is still a question mark. Agreed but he’s showing signs of the Yannick of old for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he does help us go up, go and get him I say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loan for another season would be fine thou if he can come back to his best. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vive_La_Villa Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 (edited) Can’t wait until he’s fit to play 90 minutes. Such a threat. Edited November 11, 2018 by Vive_La_Villa 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeyp102 Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 Perfect sub for us at the moment. Tired defences after an hour having to cope with Kodj or Adomah running at them and then we bring on the even more direct Bolassie. Can change a game in a moment for us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True. I don’t mind him coming on around 60-70 minutes. Gives the opposition something new to think about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post AvfcRigo82 Posted November 11, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted November 11, 2018 (edited) Loan - Yes, Permanent contract - fraid not. Yes Bolasie is turning on the style and showing why he was once a huge threat in the PL but let's be sensible and not get carried away here. I hope the days of us giving silly wages to aging players and injury prone folk should now be a thing of the past. We've had enough Lescott's, Richards, N'Zogbia's, Beye's etc. to last us a lifetime.

screwdriver Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 we've been stung so many times handing out big contracts to players who are coming to the end of their legs. Lescot, Agbonlahor, Richards. Lets be sensible look after him while he's here make him welcome and feel good so he'll do the business then thanks very much see you later in May/June.

TrentVilla Posted November 11, 2018 Moderator Share Posted November 11, 2018 I don’t think Villa should sign any player over the age of 26 for big money and I wouldn’t hand a big contract to any player over 28 that was more than 2 seasons or 1 season for over 30. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's wrong with impact sub running at tired legs? In Bolton game he was guilty of not tracking back in defence. Do we want that for 90 mins?

sir_gary_cahill Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 I can’t understand the negativity from most in this thread, he’s a proven Premier League footballer. Yes, he had a bad injury but he seems over it now to me. If he wasn’t over the injury, I don’t think we would’ve signed him in the first place even when Bruce was in charge 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
