HanoiVillan Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 3 minutes ago, Philosopher said: Not convinced by this player. Only one good season in a slightly inferior league which is very different stylistically to the premier league. And only played in Poland prior to that. He isn't even that young! He would be a risk, so performance related clauses making up the bulk of his fee is the only way to go. But, but, but . . . I've read On Here that we could never sign such a phenomenal player, who is utterly out of our league? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elmo is the same but has that crossing ability (a redeeming quality). I'm not arguing that he is a good player. Just he is here supplying much needed depth. His job has been done in getting us out of the championship. He will be replaced over the next few windows. My point is the need to have a scapegoat! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also seems like a nice guy. He's not "shit", he's got a good pro career going for himself. I used to see the same said about Hutton as some sort of defence against criticism. Hard work is the least we should expect and the amount of times I’ve seen Taylor jog back into position rather than busting a gut is infuriating. He has the odd great game but isn’t prem standard and yes I’ll stand by my Initial remark that he is shit and needs replacing in the squad in the summer if we ever want to progress. Also just because he seems like a nice guy doesn’t make up for his lack of talent and make him immune from being called out as a weak link. Nothing personal just think he never kicked on in his career. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mazrim Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 A pure finisher is precisely what we need. Piatek would be ace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough, that does sound like scapegoating. Back on topic, I hope we can sign a LB who is a much improved backup compared to Taylor, if not a starter ahead of Targett. Though I don’t expect it to happen this window. If Taylor has to play again there’s no hope for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor gets the blame for the shape not working properly when we lose, no matter how he plays....how is that not scapegoating? I'm not even going to mention the irony of you saying hes not a scapegoat, then calling him 'just shit'; I can see you give him a fair crack of the whip when ever he plays! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post screwdriver Posted January 23, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 23, 2020 This is an absolute disgrace. A flukey last min win over watford via a deflection and all the transfer news has gone quiet! like everything is rosey.....well its NOT! We still need 3 more strikers. Only calibre of Beneteke, Sturridge and Piatek. People getting excited about semmater? like who? How can anyone say this guy deserves to wear the sacred Villa shirt in the premier league, more than scott hogan and Jimmy Kodjia? you really think he can move to birmingham and hit the ground running? dreamworld!.... This is wesley MK2 crap touch, bad decisions, breathing out of his ring after 15, one solid tackle and he's rolling around screaming.... for the next 3 months whilst he "gets up to speed" the belgium boys are laughing all the way to the bank having offloaded junk to us time and time again. I refuse to even acknowledge him unless he proves himself by scoring a hatrick on his debut. minimum. I just can't understand the appeal of shopping in belgium, I bet deano gives it the big one about his no brand chinese phone that no ones heard of either! "check out the goophone lads" he must be taking a big brown envelope stuffed with francs from behind the radiator in the gents of the chorley services to keep scouting there, then moan about a process that has been in football since year dot. It's called completing a transfer. 16 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
