VillaFaninLondon Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 24 minutes ago, KentVillan said: Januzaj is definitely more talented than our existing wing options, but there’s something not right about him. Not sure if he’s the sort of personality we need in a relegation battle. I get where you're coming from, he also was bad at Sunderland when on loan there and has never scored many goals. But talent-wise he is impressive especially when taking players on and I think in a side that tries to play football like us he would be useful and be a better option than someone like Jota.

KentVillan Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Babel is shite IMO. Would like him to go to Newcastle. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also wouldn't mind Babel, even if he is 33. Has an eye for goal and is still relatively quick and as you say was probably Fulham's best player after Mitrovic last season despite only being there for four months. Only a short term solution until the end of the season though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gurru991 Posted January 7, 2020 Visiting Supporter Share Posted January 7, 2020 (edited) 24 minutes ago, gurru991 said: My understanding is that you can only loan one player from each club, so no more loans from Chelsea but can loan from any other prem team Apparently I was wrong. Premier league clubs are only allowed to have two loans at any time and only one from any club. So that takes Giroud & Batshuayi out of the picture for a loan move to Villa. - Premier League clubs may not register more than two players on loan at any one time.- The maximum number of loans registrable in the same season is four, and, under no circumstances, shall more than one be from the same club at any one time.- Premier League clubs cannot loan to another Premier League club a player they have acquired in the same transfer window.- A Premier League club may loan not more than one of its goalkeepers to another Premier League club.

Popular Post NPDK Posted January 7, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 7, 2020 I've seen both Harvey Elliott and Louie Barry play for England at the U16 and U17 level and I think Barry is a better player than Elliott (I also think Bellingham is better). I wouldn't be surprised to see Barry feature regularly next season and get quite a bit of minutes at the end of this season if he were to sign with us. Also, the Marcus McGuane talk is interesting (Villa isn't mentioned by name, but he's eyeing a return to England). Barca, allegedly, signed him as revenge for Arsenal signing Fabregas, Bellerin and Jon Toral. McGuane was highly thought of at Arsenal and Barca saw an opportunity to "get back" at them while still signing a quality talent. He never really made the strides Barca was hoping (he also got stuck behind a couple of really, really interesting players). 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's only a bit part player for Sociedad, fallen behind Portu in the pecking order so might be looking to move.

villa4europe Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 1 hour ago, Tomaszk said: Us having the WBA director in means I'm confident this lad must be worth our time. Coming back from Barca so soon is odd. Maybe he hasn't settled in Spain. Or they're flipping him with a buy back or future feed The turnover at barca yoof level is high, far higher than the breakthrough rate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
