May have an outside chance of making the Sweden squad for the Euro's as our national manager had him at Norrköping, but likely won't barring injuries.

useless Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 (edited) People haven't got a clue which of our players have come from Smith and which have come from Pitarch, and I'm not sure why people pretend otherwise. All we know is they themselves have said that it's a joint effort and Smith always has final say. Plus this idea that Smith prefers players from the lower leagues doesn't ring true, I'm sure if offered the chance of signing players of decent quality from top tier leagues vs signing players from lower leagues he'd choose the former almost every time, It's not as if he's going to turn around and say no thanks to Piatek and insist we sign Assombalonga instead.

That's how they ALWAYS work. I can't believe people get so wound up about this link or that link despite evidence every window that they are 99% wrong until a few hours before it is finalised. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OLDVILLAIN Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Typically villa are going to sign 2 strikers and a winger now and we will have no clue to who they are until they are signed. So many dingles and wba clearings in the woods setting up accounts to spout shite about the villa. I didnt include blues fans because we all know they are too busy with their sisters to go to the bother of posting false info Some of the players we have been "linked" with are beyond the realms of reality? arsesombalonga and pineapple head gestede,....jesus wept Latest we are being linked with is that Arsehat Jay rodriguez....i swear can it get any worse?

Popular Post Delphinho123 Posted January 8, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 8, 2020 Handball aside, I’ve always quite liked Rodriguez as a player. Will give 100% and probably a better option than Wesley. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Said it before and I'll say it again, Jay Rodriguez would be a great signing for us. Yes, he's been a right bastard to play against, but he's got some nous which all our forwards lack. Burnley would be absolutely mental to sell him to us. We've just gone there and outplayed them for 45 mins before sitting back and absorbing pressure for another 45. They're in this relegation scrap big time. That's why it won't happen. Welcomed with open arms by me, but we'd need someone pacy as well I think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 I think he's rubbish personally. 30 as well just a big no from me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichiBoi11 Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Rodriguez has always struck me as one of THOSE players. The kind of player who you hate every time you see them play, and especially when they play against your team, but if they're in your team you absolutely love them. He's not the greatest but he's a real worker, can play wide, and is easily a better option than Hogan, Kodjia and Davis. If he were to come in as first choice this window I'd question it, but as the versatile rotational option to a first choice striker I think he'd actually do very well for us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praisedmambo Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 We should have signed him in the summer. We needed to put a squad together. Why would he leave Burnley though and why would they sell him? He's only just rejoined his hometown club. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Jay Rodriguez only joined Burnley last summer, and I doubt Burnley would sell him to a relegation rival. Also he might have played wide in his career but he's not the kind of player that Smith would use in a wide position, so if we want a striker that can also play wide then I doubt it's Rodriguez.

MCU Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Absolutely nothing wrong with Rodriguez, I'd have him in a heartbeat. 2 things though... why would Burnley sell so soon and how much would they want ? (he's 30) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elton Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Surely there is no way that Burnley would sell to a relegation rival. Strengthening us and weakening them would be crazy. Only way could be if he has a buy out clause we can trigger. Smith did say that we had put up smokescreens to hide our summer business. Maybe this is the winter version.
