bannedfromHandV Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 If Nyland does keep playing well and retains the shirt until the end of the season it’s possible we might never actually see Reina on the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alreadyexists Posted January 11, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted January 11, 2020 Can he make the same kind of impact that Simon Dawkins though!? Only time will tell. In all seriousness, I’m so pleased with that loan. The new Freidel!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newry_Villan Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Has this deal actually been confirmed by the club? Maybe I have missed their post on facebook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MapleVilla Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 I think it's basically done bar the formalities on Monday. I think even if he doesn't start straight away or however he will be used. A great influence in the dressing room and an experienced head who's won it all. Knows the league the language. Should settle in quickly and I think he'll turn out to be a Heaton type signing. He may be worth some important points come the end of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisvilla4 Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Potentially a masterstroke and all done so quickly, presuming we weren't looking at him before Heaton's injury. Pleased with this if it comes off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jareth Posted January 12, 2020 Author VT Supporter Share Posted January 12, 2020 Absolutely the perfect replacement for Heaton. When him and Wes got injured it was Heaton's injury that had me most worried for the season ahead. Now, with Reina and a couple of strikers we're on par if not improved.

Reina is a much more commanding keeper than Brad was. He is also a much better footballer/distributor who likes to play as a makeshift sweeper. Brad was very much a conventional keeper who rarely left his six yard box when the ball was in our half. If Reina has still got his speed and agility he will be a brilliant signing. Better than Brad who I always thought was somewhat overrated by many villa fans. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Friedel had been a number 1 keeper all the time whereas Reina doesn't seem to have been for a few seasons, which is the biggest concern for me. Also Friedel went bankrupt so had the extra incentive to extend his career and compared to Reina just coming for 6 months I wonder whether he will have the same desire. Of course it may turn out to be a masterstroke but I hope Nyland gets a fair crack at being keeper in the next few games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 The fact that he's willing to move from a cushy spot on the Milan bench to come to a relegation fight in the PL shows that he still wants to play and that he believes he has the ability still. Or at least I hope so. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, when we signed Heaton, Nyland was probably still not fully recovered from last season's injury. But, he's waited his turn and performed really well. If Reina takes that shirt it's going to destroy Nyland and the way he feels about the management. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I expect the club to handle this in a correct way and explain their reasoning to Nyland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
