VillaChris Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 (edited) 30 minutes ago, DaveAV1 said: I remember when Zola signed for Chelsea, I think he’d been hawked around a few club’s including us. I’m not sure exactly how old he was, but I’m sure he was the wrong side of 30 and nobody was particularly interested. Then Chelsea signed him, he became a legend and he seemed to play there for years. Giroud could be our Zola signing. Those signings routinely seemed dismissed on here but not everyone has to be like a Lescott or even a Drinkwater. Richards when he signed was only 26 despite being around for a decade when he came in. Many clubs who rose from mid table to be among the front runners in the league signed experienced players at the start of their projects, Man. City for example signed Patrick Vieria who didn't contribute much on the pitch but everyone in the dressing room respected his professionalism and what he'd achieved in the game. Already we're seeing Reina being praised by DS for his mentality and we need more of those types in the dressing room next season. I've no idea how we're eventually going to be a major force again in this league just signing unknown young players from minor leagues. People point to Leicester as an example but would we have ever considered signing Johnny Evans? Can't see it with how we approached the summer.

It's just like when Gregory let Junhinio and Keane slip through the net. Forever in excrement creek! Your assuming the likes of Piatek would have signed for a side fighting to avoid relegation...….unlikely even if it is the mighty Villa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KenjiOgiwara Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 The Polish girl next to me can inform me that Piatek literally means Friday, so Christopher Friday. Not sure why I am saying this, but it was funny to me. There you go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieAitken59 Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 We need Nzonzi desperately. Hardly let's anyone through easily. Teams will have to find other ways to get around us. Allowing our midfield more time and space on the ball. It would be a godsend for JG allowing him more time to work his magic. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam2003 Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 I don’t even remember him being that good for Stoke, he must have really come on over the past few years the way people talk about him!
