Just an extension of our pathological obsession of signing anyone who is or has recently been injured and almost certainly will be again shortly. For a minute I was concerned about why we were signing an apparent nobody who was perfectly fit and match ready. Ps just heard sky mention "Frank Lampards" Derby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted January 31, 2019 Author Share Posted January 31, 2019 Swansea fans don't seem too bothered he's gone. Not ideal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Supposedly done 3 minutes before deadline. No images up with him holding the shirt etc. Blatant panic signing. You don’t go from Hayden to Fer to Carroll. Completely different profile of players. Pretty poor from the club to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaVilla Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Honestly no idea if this guy is reasonable terrible, really concerned by the fact indont know whether to be remotely happy or if I should smash my head against a desk. Come on Villa at least give me a player that I know how to react to!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limvillian Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 This lad is not a DM like we needed . It will be very like Playing Hourihane in the deep role having Tom Carroll back there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair were we ever in for Hayden or fer, after this signing I don't know what to believe...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it could be we tried for better options, they didn’t work out and Smith was of the view Carroll is better than our current crop. Not ideal but that’s the way the cookie crumbled it seems. If the lad’s up for it and is playing for a permanent contract then no harm done. Let’s see how he gets on. The real business and rebuild will be in the summer. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he goes to the same tailor and that's where the comparison ends. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KMitch Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Carroll is like a Championship quality Ashley Westwood. I actually rate Westwood quite highly, so I think he could be decent under Smith's system. I'm just glad that we didn't sign Fer on big wages. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fightoffyour Posted January 31, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted January 31, 2019 (edited) Call me crazy but I’m willing to give this guy at least one chance in a Villa shirt before writing him off. Any whoscored rating less than 7, however, and I’ll be on his back quicker than you can throw a cabbage. Think of it like a footballing Speed, but with an average football team trundling along the Championship season, instead of a bus.

villa4europe Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 its another body in, better than having to persist with players we already know arent good enough at worst he's a better option than whelan off the bench 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leighavfc Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 A player who will suit Smiths style. imo i think Fer would have been the better buy, Carroll another lightweight midfielder. Was well hyped when at Spurs, looking at his stats not really done anything for Swansea and their fans seem quite happy he has gone... obviously hope he does well for us but im not sure its going to go that way.
