We need to move away from expensive short term fixes imo. I tend to agree and I support the general policy. Hypocritically I’d be pleased with a Cahill move, depending on the wages. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering we’ve got a few weeks to save our season I’d say for once it’s a short term fix we actually need!! 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s my opinion, so don’t take it as gospel but he looked great for Brentford at Villa Park earlier this season. Smith bought him for Brentford so I suppose it’s feasible that we could be in for him but Brentford have just sold Mepham so won’t want to lose him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary might just prefer to come home and work with JT rather than Woy. It's a case of the pull of the PL against the pull of Villa Park. Who knows he might also not want to play against Chelsea.

Let's remember what he's learned in the game and what league we're in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Factory Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 I would be amazed if Cahill came here. All week we have been told that we are looking for younger players and to improve their market value. Cahill is neither young nor can we increase a value of a player we have on loan. Plus his wages would be insane. Not going to happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the story is accurate and we would effectively be swapping his wages, for a Premier League winner and ex Villa boy who is both a leader and head and shoulders above any defender we have in the squad, in a position we are in desperate need it is a no brainer. Doesn't change the long term strategy, but it puts a shot in the arm for the current campaign and could be season changing. Would you prefer Hause/Elphick or Cahill/Tuanzebe to see out the season?

Junxs Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Whilst I completely agree the with the philosophy of bringing in younger players to improve them and to grow with the club.. Its Gary Cahill. You have to make an exception for serious quality like that. Especially in a position where experience counts for the most and where we are the weakest. He would comfortably be the best centre back in the Championship, probably the best we've had since Laursen too. (Yes I think a 33 year old Cahill is better than a 37 year old Terry) 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted January 26, 2019 Moderator Share Posted January 26, 2019 I don’t think we should make an exception even though I agree about his quality. I think and have consistently said since the link started it would be the wrong move. Weve been doing this for years now, it has to stop. We have to start building not putting on sticking plasters especially when they are earning the sort of money he is. We can’t afford to pay people £70-80k in the Championship, sooner or later everyone needs to accept that, finally I think those running the club have done so. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might be right but it would go some way to make up for selling him to Bolton for £6m and playing Davies instead. On the wider point agree 100% though, it's just I think God has been punishing us since we sold Cahill.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
