VillaChris Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 (edited) 3 hours ago, Vive_La_Villa said: Still think he’s staying. Probably only one that thinks this. Must be the world's slowest offering of a contract deal by us then if that's the case! Purslow obviously realises he has a year left I assume. Unless he's on some mega round the world holiday with Alisha he must be back in the country now given the season ended nearly a month ago so the only hold up to me is he's told the club he isn't interested in new deal otherwise we'd have offered him something months back given Emi and Cash both signed new deals in last six months. He's off but probably a case of waiting until european pre seasons start and we start getting some offers so mid July. It will be similar to Targett I reckon. We'll sell him for what we paid for him and at least in the three years he helped keep us up and stabilise us as mid table prem team so there's the value right there. Think he'll do well in a slower league where he's correctly positioned infront of back 4 to act as metronome and circulate the ball.

skarroki Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 He's on the merry-go-round of really good players we have at the club that VillaTalk decide we need to ship out for whatever the best offer is. There's a reason Cash is being realistically touted to Atletico and Luiz to Roma. Because they're good players. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not even a guaranteed starter for Poland is he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aside from the polarisation, I think the MAIN reason people might want to ship him out is because it appears he has no intention of signing a new contract and we don't want him to leave on a FREE? Much less to do with his " ability " IMO. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Last comments from Gerrard was that we havent offered him a new deal or have shelved talks. Maybe Luiz wants to stay but as we arent offering him a deal then what can we do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wants to play further forward, so if he's been holding out, I suspect it's more for football reasons than the money. If we've decided there's no room for him further up the pitch maybe we're happy to let him run down playing a 6 role for us. Lots of possibilities really.

You're preaching to the choir regarding his ability. But there are definitely a few on here who don't rate him full stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's fair enough but I think he is right most people, myself included only want him sold if he won't sign a new deal on decent terms. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nepal_villan Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 It's more common for players to run down their contracts these days. I've no issues having him one more year and him potentially leaving on a free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've no issues having him one more year and him potentially leaving on a free. You’re right this is now pretty common but it’s a problem for clubs, particularly lower down the tree. It takes money out of the game and gives it to already extremely rich players. Ok in this particular case in the big picture it’s more of an annoyance, although it doesn’t help with FFP. However for clubs that have a business model to grow, or even survive, using player sales, it’s a rapidly growing problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhan_Zhuang Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 Ramsey, Luiz and Kamara would be a good three in my view... I hope he stays personally. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
