KentVillan Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 It's going to be a long road back for Wesley, even if things go to plan. Be very surprised if he manages more than a few cameo appearances in the league this season. I hope things work out for him though. He's never going to be a world beater, but he's definitely a better player than his critics give him credit for. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what I think of how true it is. Romano isn’t/wasn’t his agent by the way, just a ‘transfer insider’ like so many other ITKs. Still I’d have loved Mandzukic here, assuming he can still run a bit. Edit: woops, re-reading that I think you say ‘his agent, then Romano’ and I thought you were saying Romano was his agent.

Yeah correct re your edit. Not sure I can explain why you’ve never heard it. Do you live in Birmingham? know many other Villa fans close to the club? Can only think something like that maybe the difference but there was some press about it as well outside what I knew. Just quickly googled the below https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/aston-villa-transfer-mario-mandzukic-19356342 https://www.football-italia.net/161411/mandzukic-rejected-villa-and-west-ham I hadn’t seen either of these articles (hate the mail) but there are more out there and on other social media platforms. I tried to find the quote from his agent but I can’t at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if you dispute that there were less certain links to other strikers. You're correct Nick. He was that player that had 'Done it all in the game'. 5 hours ago, Adam2003 said: I’m not doubting you but I absolutely love Mandzukic and I read embarrassingly obsessively about Villa every day and I had never heard this until you just mentioned it. It has been mentioned on this forum a few times here and there by a few posters that we almost signed him, so I'm not sure how you may have missed it being such an obsessive reader!? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah really weird one, as I say I was not doubting @nick76 and when I read it last night I googled and saw the articles. Somehow this one just totally passed me by and I don’t understand how! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ_Villain Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Cant wait to have him back and playing with a more settled and cohesive team, with much better players around him than when he joined us. We were, to be fair, terrible when he joined us because we had to cobble together a squad of players in the space of a single window... but he still managed to score a few goals... He is a massive improvement on Davis, we need another option, and I am confident that having Big Wes back will be a huge boost to our attacking threat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recall the links we had to someone that had been there and done it all, but don't recall ever finding out who that was. Even just as a link outside of that specific rumour, I don't remember him being linked to us. Wonder where I was during the lifetime of that rumour/ news. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Football insider says exactly that today, a loan they think with a new forward coming in.... Its not the worst idea but it does make me think if you are going to get rid of some then Davis first please! It could also mean they want a full season regaining form and fitness in someone’s first team for him to come back... it could also be bollocks media talk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
