Lerner's Driver Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 5 hours ago, TrentVilla said: I said it in Jan and will say it again now, just can't see Cahill being the sort of signing we are looking to make. Bound to sign Monday now. He doesn't fit the new, 'young with potential to develop' criteria no, but in another post you made recently Trent, you acknowledged our limited remaining budget in an expensive market, so I think Cahill could be the exception that breaks the rule. Young and hungry is the way to go, but we have virtually zero Prem experience in the team at the moment, he's 'free', knows the club and Terry and has an eye for goal, as well as still being a very decent defender. Admittedly, lost some pace, but all in all, a good punt. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharkyvilla Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 I think we are being a bit unfair towards Cahill saying he's on too much money and won't come here. We don't know what is motivating him, it may be that following JT's path is a more attractive option than just getting more money elsewhere. I'd seriously look at signing him.

dudevillaisnice Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 We were told the criteria was basically to sign young players who can develop/those that fits into Dean Smith’s style of play. Cahill to be brutally honest doesn’t fit in any criteria. The signing would’ve made sense under the various managers before him I’m not sure it fits what the current one is trying to achieve. I’m not against it completely but sceptical. Anyway this all came from The Daily Star so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwivillan Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 BM saying shock transfer twist in Mings to Villa with Ake a target for likes of City or Spurs. Are they for real? Bournemouth fans were predicting a bigger club to come in for Ake at the end of the season when Mings joined us on loan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 (edited) Cahill is another Lescott... Stop signing these has been players that is well past their prime. He will most likely demand high wages that is better spent elsewhere. Really hoped that we had learned from the Lescott signing. This is the type of signing we need to avoid.

I agree. But then no doubt fans would be blaming the manager for not starting such a good player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveAV1 Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 Whilst a number of people, both on forums and in the general media claim to be In The Know, they should really be grouped together as This Is Total Speculation. Make an acronym of that if you will. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He played a few Europa League games and a few sub minutes in the league. Danny Drinkwater didn’t get a kick all year. Neither seem to have been fancied by Sarri but that doesn’t mean they are past it or whatever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
