sne Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Has there been any news on if the club is intending to extend Reina's contract and if he is interested in doing so or if Milan would allow it? Can't see the club starting a GK who will be here less than 2 weeks before his contract expires, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 (edited) I always imagined Reina would've been dropped for the Chelsea game given how bad he was v Leicester, think Nyland would've come in so that could happen now. Surely Jed Steer must be fit aswell now (The Wolves game was 7 months ago) although he's unproven in the prem. Did well in the run in last season so could play that part again as unsung hero.

villa4europe Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 I thought steer was originally out until March and was expected back before the season ended? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 From The Mirror yesterday, take it for what it is. Quote Aston Villa Injured: Wesley – ACL injury – Return date unknown – Running but still feeling pain in his knee Tom Heaton – ACL injury – Expected return: June/July 2020 – aiming to return to full fitness ahead of league resumption Jed Steer – Achilles injury – Return date unknown Frederic Guilbert – Knee injury – Return date unknown John McGinn – Knee injury – returned to light training but unlikely to be available for team selection https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/premier-league-club-club-injury-22102576 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaddytheVillan Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Steer is fit again I think, I saw an interview with him. But he hasn't played regular football for over a year, so I imagine he will be very rusty. Nyland looks really good in patches but always has a clanger in him. Agree that I'd go for either over Reina, but praying Heaton will be fit and the PL will allow him an exemption to join the 25 man squad. I think they have to given the change in calendar.

Tomaszk Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Heaton being back would be huge. Can't believe it'll be possible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mat Kendrick's Dentist Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Heaton said in an interview today that it'll likely be next season before he's fit to play. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At his age, coming back from a severe injury no way is his body going to hold up for playing 3 games a week or whatever. Would be asking for a new injury. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 Talking about his career mainly, such a sensible guy. Not your usual footballer when talking. 4 or 5 minutes at the end he starts talking about Villa. He said he will be back for start of next season and thinks we should stay up 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blasterpocket68 Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 I cant wait to have him back - but to be very honest we need a settled team in front of him that can do the basics and defend. At the moment a breeze block wall on our goal line would look suspect . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 (edited) I think he'll stay with us if we go down. Everyone thought Butland would move as soon as Stoke went down but he's still there two years on (not that his performances have warranted much interest from premier league clubs in that period). Keeping position is little different as there's only a select number of options and hardly anything at top clubs. I doubt he'd move somewhere like Bournemouth or Watford if they stayed up at our expense when he'd just be in another relegation battle next season (while hopefully we'd get quickly back up). Other clubs will also probably be put off by him seeming to get one bad injury a season. Edited June 8, 2020 by VillaChris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhan_Zhuang Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 Until he got injured Heaton kept four clean sheets in twenty matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
