Maybe initially for a couple of weeks, at the end of the day he's a 22m asset so should be getting the best posible care in the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-R Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 The tackle was dangerous, a tackle that should of been given a red card I think. You could see in that tackle that not only is there intent in taking someone down, but intent on making sure they don't get back up. When you have other football clubs fans blasting a player for there recklessness, in this case Liverpool fans it only says one thing about the challange. A scissor like challange like that, Wesley was lucky to be carried off without breaking anything. As it stands have you all noticed something, it seems to be our players during matches mostly that are getting hurt, there is a very reckless behaviour in the premier. I once thought this importing behaviour was confined to the championship, only because of the extra competition of trying to achieve promotion, it appears it's also in the the premier. I'm afraid for our season on a few levels now, that we now need a bigger squad because of the injurys were picking up out of players trying to take down our lads. Referees have without a doubt gotten soft, a tackle like what was made on Wesley should of brought that ref into action, that Action that should of resulted in a red. A player gets injured on that level it changes our season, yet these soft refs give the player who made the nasty challange a yellow, the punishment doesn't fit the crime as they say. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Sad news that he's crocked. But it might be a blessing in disguise for Villa. NSWE have an excuse to release the player and they'll have to sign two strikers this window which we desperately need. Star crossed start at AVFC for Wesley so I wouldn't be surprised if we never see him in a Villa shirt again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, the idea that having a £22m player potentially suffering a career limiting injury and being out for at least half a season, is a blessing in disguise, is slightly mental. FFP prevents us from just solving this with a huge cash injection. And on top of that (or should I say, even more fundamentally) there is the human angle of watching a young man who was just starting to look settled suffer this kind of injury.

It's a figure of speech used within the context of the roster of players we will need now that he's out. The first four words of my post says all you need to know how I feel about Wesley rupturing his ACL. Spare me your moralizing, cheers.

I'm not celebrating his injury. But's he is out for the season. Consequently, his absence could be a blessing in disguise. Why "in disguise"? Because he's been badly injured and calling it a "blessing" seems counterintuitive. But *if* his absence from the side leads to the addition of attacking options that help Aston Villa not get relegated, it becomes a "blessing". Also: 2+2=4.

The premise of your post isn't true. Wesley's injury doesn't help us add attacking options. It harms his transfer value, and it makes it harder for us to improve the squad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said it"might" be a blessing in disguise if it motivates the club to sign multiple attacking players on permanent or loan deals. It's not that my premise "isn't true" as you say. it just seems as if you either don't agree or don't understand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
