I can see why they think they'd been harshly done by. To be fair the penalty decision was an absolute farce and I would have been fuming if that was given against us. I'm not sure the Weimann one was that clear cut. I remember it as being right on the line, but I thought it was offside based on one angle and possibly not based on another. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 The Nantes General Director Franck Kita had a press conference in the last couple of hours. There was this tidbit on Rongier (via DeepAI translate):"The door is only half-opened. He is an ambitious boy, who had a good season last year and we would like to keep him. He won't go anywhere and we won't let him go anywhere." Source: Nantes Official Youtube Channel and le10sport le10sport's article does not refer to Villa at all. Rongier's main link appears to be with Marseilles at the moment, who are looking at a couple of midfield options. They do refer back to an older article thinking he could be purchased for around £13.5m (which I think we knew already). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly it's a little too late to award them a goal and take Tammy's penalty off us. Let's give them £15m for Webster and call it quits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether that's a product of our promotion or it being the market in general these days is up for debate. The hold-up on Wesley I'd attribute to the work permit application. 25 minutes ago, VillanousOne said: I think most of the fees being 'demanded' by Championship clubs are made up/rounded up. For most that are true, I find it difficult to believe players would stick around at a club that had little or no chance of promotion to the Premiership and had priced them out of a move. Player power/lack of loyalty is still toxic not saying it's necessarily anyone's specific dream to play for Villa (Lolley aside) but players want money above all else, so blocking them will not end well. I think there are three different "prices". 1) The "£30 million" joke prices being quoted by trash newspapers and clickbait media sites for all the players we're supposedly being knocked back for (including the pathetic lie sheet that is Birmingham live). 2) The more considered (but still over the top) prices that some Broadsheet journalists are guessing at. 3) The actual prices (that we will probably never know) being discussed, rejected, increased, discussed etc between Villa and the club that owns the player we're interested in. (Jota and El Ghazi may be examples of that) When we complete a deal it will be "undisclosed" because that is the way Villa insist on doing business. There is absolutely no role in this transfer window for tabloids and clickbait media, so they create a role for themselves by surfing Twitter and fan forums for bits of supposed ITK, invite washed up ex pros to comment daily (usually on some one they know f--- all about) and run with it to sell their adverts. We keep these people in a job, because very occasionally someone out there comes up with proper ITK .... sadly I include myself as a browser of this rubbish. As others have said, the prices we pay will be higher than the real value of the players we end up getting, because we are known to really need these players and have owners rich enough to get these "over priced" deals done, but we wont be paying the stupid prices that the internet is currently awash with. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure the Weimann one was that clear cut. I remember it as being right on the line, but I thought it was offside based on one angle and possibly not based on another. The Bristol defender was naive enough to push Hourihane in the back which gave the attacker the opportunity to claim a penalty and the referee had to make the call - is the push a foul. Why the offside Weimann goal is being revisited, I’ve no idea. It was shown at the time to be very tight but about half a yard offside. This is assuming the lines on the pitch are straight which they do tend to be at an award winning pitch. Video stills have proven this. I think some of the opposing fans don’t like the hard truth at the time and come back on occasions to stir up something that, when looked at closely, wasn’t even controversial. Hilarious. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's give them £15m for Webster and call it quits. Right now I'd quite happily take a bit of EFL manufactured drama to keep me entertained. It might even distract me enough to save me from getting the sack due to half of my recent output being Googling 'Aston Villa'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both true, although they only managed 1 shot on target in the whole game, we had 11 and hit the woodwork, so they weren't exactly robbed of 3 points. Were it not for their keeper having an inspired day they would of been battered. I get being salty about decisions not going your way, but the way their manager reacted it felt more like he was deflecting from a poor performance in a pivotal game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't even say our goalkeepers performance against you was good, which would kind of be a prerequisite for bragging about his performance. It was widely said on here at the time how well O'Leary had played. So in response to a question about how Butland had played I gave a comparable performance to what I had seen from Butland. Honestly, there's a few of you who seem to try an antagonise and then are confused as to why people hold resentment.

I can see why they think they'd been harshly done by. Well Weimann was offside from what I saw on replays and we had two goals disallowed which both looked onside to me as well as hitting the bar and post, keeper making multiple saves and I'm sure we could have had another penalty. So aside from going 1-0 up, which I'm highly confident we'd have turned over with ease, no they were not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danceoftheshamen Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 2 hours ago, PieFacE said: Interesting that Leeds have sold Clarke for £8.5m Do they really want £30m for Phillips? Think that's incredibly unlikely. A guy i work with is a big Spurs fan and we were talking about the Villa & Spurs connections to Leeds players. A couple of weeks ago he stated that Bielsa & Poch are mates as Bielsa basically taught Poch management. Looks to me like an "old pals favour" being done in the Clarke deal. I don't for one second think we will end up buying our target Phillips mind you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
