Its surprising what things seasons hang on. A couple more additions and getting Jack back and I’ll feel more comfortable, the last few weeks have put a bit of a downer on things.

Dodgyknees Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 This is good for a few reasons, mainly because it will boost the whole squad. Well played, Villa. Well played. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post tomav84 Posted January 8, 2019 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted January 8, 2019 you almost see how blues fans call us jammy. from near admin to one of the country's richest clubs...jack leaving for peanuts to staying...top scorer turning down prem move to stay for the rest of the season. it makes you realise what a great club this is (if we didnt know already) that even when down on our backside good news seems to find its way to us. it's like the midlands rivalry gods dangle a carrot to our rivals saying 'look, look, something to laugh at villa about' before turning around and going 'nah just having you on' if this wonderful news doesnt give the squad a kick up the backside to push on then i dont know what will 11 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Got a good head on his shoulders has this kid. I have been nothing but impressed by his attitude, desire, workrate and the way he comes across in interviews. That is why he will go very far in this game. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imavillan Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Whilst i am very happy with the news being banded about at the moment but please excuse me for being a tad cynical here, but i'll wait until February before getting too excited. Football is not the real world and heads can still be turned with various conversations etc etc..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indigo Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 I'm still hesitant to fully allow myself to believe anything until the window is closed as we've been burned before and regardless of what Abraham may have decided, there'll always be agents at work looking to do what's best for them. That said, this looks pretty good and is a massive boost to us considering how much of a lost cause it looked. I think those that have said he wouldn't be much of a loss are way, way off the mark. The goals (and the ratio of them) speak for themselves, you can point to missed chances but the fact is we're a Championship side and strikers that doesn't miss chances don't play in the Championship. Abraham scores more than he misses and he scores a lot, the goals he has - and will - scored and the amount of them have been invaluable and I suspect irreplaceable at this level. We've got to make the most of this while we have the chance now and get in the quality where we need it. The goals scored should be sorted, it's just the other end that needs fixing. Get in a good left back and a proper DM (a right back would also be nice but I doubt we'd go for one seeing as we've three already in the squad), and by the time Jack gets back we might actually be fit to challenge for promotion. Then obviously we go up, sign Tammy permanently and he scores a couple of hat tricks against Wolves next season as we saunter up the table *wipes claret and blue spectacles* 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonVillian Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 (edited) Why did he miss training is my question then ? Maybe changed his mind at the last minute, maybe JT had a "word". Edited January 8, 2019 by LondonVillian spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herman22 Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 I think Chelsea's position has helped a lot. It seems they were unwilling to sell him and essentially asked Tammy where he wanted to play the second half of the season on loan. If Wolves were buying him outright I think he may have left but the fact he would come into a team who are doing well at the moment his chances of getting into the team would be relatively low, at least for the first few months. Anyway, if he does stay I will be happy, a proven goal scorer is always hard to come by at any level and even harder to replace. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
