Xela Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 23 minutes ago, Johnnyp said: I remember when Newcastle were going through their phase of signing lots of French players a few years back. Debuchy was unknown to most in England really. Very good player he turned out to be. Debuchy was an established French international for a couple of years before he signed for Newcastle including being the starting right back in Euro 2012. He signed for Newcastle in 2013. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr_Pangloss Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 (edited) Elmo has had a brilliant season IMO but will need replacing, hopefully Guilbert will deliver, quietly optimistic that he will prove to be a good player for us, Elmo I hope is kept on as he'll be solid backup.

Elmo has actually grown on me. You watch his mannerisms and passion you can see he loves the club as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaVilla Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Guilbert must be pleased, signed for a championship team with a dream to get back to the premiership, comes to Villa as a premiership team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ender4 Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Didn’t even know we had signed this guy! Snuck in when I wasn't looking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted May 30, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted May 30, 2019 Looks like lower tier to me? I would have thought he would have been able to get at least Club Wembley seats if not some official Villa Box. I like it. I assume his contract would have allowed for a rise in the event of promotion. He has probably had a substantial pay rise before even starting his new job. Nice!

I salute you sir. I also Salute Guilbert for being there and his Wag with the bad teeth for suffering his indulgence instead of swigging champagne in Club Wembley.

A'Villan Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 Played 30 games for a Bordeaux side that are top half mainstays in the French league. The season before he made his switch, Caen finished 7th, four places above Bordeaux. At a guess he would have been focused on the 7th place finish the season before when he joined them.

Tomaszk Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 For no reason I think he's going to be the absolute nuts. Looking forward to seeing him in action. Good litmus test for the new recruitment team because it came out of nowhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
