Not trying to be negative, i really hope this deal comes off, but lets not delude ourselves if any player may have a flaw or two?

Popular Post Stevo985 Posted December 19, 2018 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted December 19, 2018 Honestly these days I just assume that a keeper being signed at this level is a good shot stopper. Shot stoppers are ten a penny. The other parts of their game is much more important. I'm far more interested in how good Kalinic is at commanding his box, communicating and coordinating with his defence, distributing, dealing with high balls; than I am with whether he can make spectacular saves. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jareth Posted December 19, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted December 19, 2018 Villa transfers is completely legit ITK, possibly the only one - so this is definitely happening. Glad about it, Nyland as back-up and ship out the other two - maybe keep Bunn as no.3 - he likes that spot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For Croatia against England, he looked outstanding, a commanding goalkeeper that we haven’t had for years. Not only that but he looked good with his feet, looked the complete goalkeeper. Based on that performance v England and that’s all I’ve seen of him, I’m surprised a top club hasn’t come in for him. ( I know it’s only one game but he just looked brilliant) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s what I was trying to say, you just phrased it better, I’d take this story with a pinch of salt to be honest. He looked amazing against England Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Money surely - with the same resources as Citeh or Chelsea we've got the necessary financial pull - and then Purslow uses his Jedi FFP powers to hypnotise the FA into ignoring the spend.

Rodders Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 a speculation tag on this thread would be useful until it's confirmed. Not doubting the source, but we've been burned at the end before... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delphinho123 Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Hard not to be excited about this. TBH, we could sign the Stevenage keeper and i'd be excited because he'd be better than that clown we have between the sticks at the moment. I want him in goal for the QPR match. At the latest.

tonyh29 Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 new manager , new DOF , new scouts , new owners.... and we sign the same target from a couple of years ago must be a good keeper 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villan-scott Posted December 19, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted December 19, 2018 Looks like he could be a great signing. Seems to have developed really well, and could have been a great signing first time around. Does his original thread exist from previous to tag this on to? For all the the ridicule Reilly got, the players he signed and nearly signed have turned out good elsewhere. Just a shame the club was toxic at the time! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha, I was referring to us improving and being a standout team at this level in the second half of the season, this signing and some more like it across the back 4 and we'll have too much for pretty much everyone I reckon. As to where we finish, we're relying on others to slip up, we shouldn't worry about that though, we need to play to our potential every week and we'll go on a proper run if we do strengthen well in Jan.

KMitch Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 What a refreshing change of pace this is! We're actively moving to tie up our number one transfer window need, weeks before the window even opens. Someone needs to tell our new owners that this isn't the "Aston Vila Way" of handling things. We're supposed to flounder around haggling over the fee with the other club for weeks, then the deal will fall through, our backup options are already signed, and on deadline day, we end up panic buying someone like Shay Given on a 5 year deal... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
