I mean he's no worse than anyone else. Based on last weekend, you'd go with Green and El Gazi as the wingers. EDIT: So it was his decision. OK then. I think it was as much "his decision" as Andre Green was recalled to "meet the home grown quota" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshVilla Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Jordan Mutch meh.... Was really hoping our recruitment policy was moving away from going for the wrong side of 25 injury prone hasbeens. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This guy was pretty much injured all throughout his loan spell with MLS squad Vancouver Whitecaps. When he did play he was equally unimpressive.

Apparently knows Smith and O’Kelly from Hereford days so no doubt this is just a training arrangement. No chance of us bringing him in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it really matters so much if you played in the premier league once upon a time, we should have learned our lessons in buying injury prone crocks.. especially ones who had their contract terminated for being injured all the time. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pay as you play or £1k pw until x no of appearances, then £5k per week till x more appearances and if that doesn't work for you then fair enough, good luck elsewhere and we'll move on. It feels like we've been far to willing to pay whatevers asked before. Would Everton really not have let Bolasie come if we weren't paying 100% of his wages? No one ever pays us 100% of our loan players wages. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jareth Posted January 21, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted January 21, 2019 Glad to see YB go, it was never going to improve and now we have £70k wages to put towards some younger players who'll have a future here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 I did rate Mutch back as a youngster but it has been years since he put in any kind of performances. He's a talented player but I'd avoid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, but in the event we don't get them in we should definitely go for Andy Carroll or Theo Walcott on deadline day. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post DaveAV1 Posted January 21, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted January 21, 2019 I think the departure of Bolasie, regardless of how it’s been phrased, is a significant moment. At last we are showing we’re not willing to pay for players who aren’t pulling their weight. It’s the start of the clear out, and sends a message to others that we are no longer a soft touch. Agents have been beating a path to our door with their has beens for too long. This needs to stop and hopefully now has. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's quite staggering to think of the top level salaries with have paid out to bog standard players over the last few years. Every club will make a couple of bad moves but we seem to have had a never ending list of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
