Elton Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 (edited) Just thought I’d beat the rush to give Suso congratulations on a fantastic January to date. (I doubt there will be any other PL clubs that have managed to buy 3 regular starters in this window.)

Agree we needed another forward though. It’s being put right now and it’s not too late. I know you’re a glass half broken kind of guy but we can’t go back in time and this has been a good window in very difficult circumstances.

It’s been an ok window I’d say. Reina will be good for 6 months, Drinkwater is garbage so a lot depends on how this Samatta bloke gets on. I still think we’ll sign one more forward player which is important. I also prefer my glass half empty rather than half broken.

Dr_Pangloss Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 (edited) All eyes on Suso. If we end the window with Samatta, Reina and Drinkwater as our only signings then that's a pretty poor effort.

Dr_Pangloss Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 It's not enough, we need better quality in attacking areas, he needs to deliver more than what he has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 All eyes on suso... A man that we don't know what he does all day He could be currently 95% through a deal to sign messi but when it hits a snag and falls through tomorrow its "nah he's **** shit mate" Fully expecting a meltdown if bowen signs for Palace when in reality we don't know if we bid, if Hull said no to us but yes to Palace, if Palace offered silly wages, if we offered higher wages but he still chose palace I'm not overly defending him I just don't see how you can judge a guy when you simply don't **** know 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 As I said money is probably tight this window. We did spend a lot in the summer. FFP etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we don't land Bowen then I see that as an opportunity lost rather than any major disgrace. However if we don't land at least another striker or inside forward type of player then that's very poor.

villa4europe Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 (edited) No there's a knowledge of what the role is There is no knowledge of what suso is doing on a day to day basis No one has any knowledge of what he's done with regards to bowen Edited January 30, 2020 by villa4europe 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiezels Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Palace are a way bigger draw unfortunately, safer position, probably bigger wages and London. I’d say those will be the factors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree and under those circumstances the club will not want our name anywhere near him hence you won't see a link in the papers But that doesn't mean we didn't try or didn't bid or hold discussions so you can't negatively judge suso on it 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
