VillaHatesMe Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 (edited) For the sake of comparison between style and performance. Expected Goals this Season Aston Villa: 27.16 Crystal Palace: 19.70 Newcastle United: 17.82 AC Milan: 24.05 AC Milan has scored 16 actual goals, so an expected goals of 24.05 means they've scored eight fewer goals than they should have. As for Piatek, his personal expected goals is at 7.52 in Serie A, which is 3.52 more than he's scored. So he's been a little unlucky. Keep in mind we have a front office that claims to be analytically inclined. Odds are they're aware of all of this.

If ever there was a club for a striker with a shit goal celebration, it's Villa. And the Andi Weiman celebration. Remember when Gabby tried to immitate it in that 6-1 win over sunderland ? By god he looked stupid Edited January 8, 2020 by gwi1890 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 (edited) It would be typical Villa if we sign a £25m striker from AC Milan only to get vaporized in a nuclear war the day after. Edit: should've seen he has a player thread and that joke had been made inside the first 10 posts Edited January 8, 2020 by sharkyvilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 4 hours ago, Ikantcpell said: If he do signs he need to stop with that pistol goal celebration, one of the worst i have seen. You know, I just could grow to love it. If he signs and if he does it often enough to keep us up, between now and the end of the season. This certainly is a big upgrade on the strikers that we had been linked with earlier in this window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indigo Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Off topic but I was bored in work earlier and found myself watching this video and missing this absolute dude. A lot of factors at play, but (even aside from the injuries) if his minutes at United remain sparse and we manage to retain our place in the league I'd love for us to try to get him back. Himself and Mings complimented each other so well as a back two, and furthermore you'd imagine he more than has the capabilities to excel in a back 3 if that's something we'd end up sticking with going forward.

Not sure if he was the assistant manager but was very close to Lambert(if not Lambert himself). The club weeded him out in the end unfortunately.

Jareth Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Getting the impression (as have others) that this Milan stuff is about Reina - which is far more likely - given both rumours from there have occurred at the same time. I wouldn't mind that one bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aston Villa have been offered the chance to sign goalkeeper Pepe Reina from AC Milan this month, a report claims, amid links to Krzysztof Piatek as well. https://sempremilan.com/report-aston-villa-in-talks-with-ex-liverpool-star-as-double-raid-on-milan-takes-shape Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-R Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 I think we're starting to go off as if FFP isn't a concern in the slightest. We should still have the TV deal money anyhow right, isn't that around the 100 mill mark for even a club smack bang at the bottom. I am curious as to how much we have coming in, because while we have spent around three quarters of the promotion money, for being in the premier there are more ways that clubs earn are there not?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
