Take a bow son. I suspect the younger members of the forum won’t get this.

I remember whoscored had a similar poor review for Wesley. I really hope this is a properly scouted player and not an agent ringing Suso. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

screwdriver Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 I can't believe we are repeating our mistakes from the summer by going back for another unproven striker from the belgique league. It's insanity. Villa's philosophy is if something doesn't work keep going back and doing it again and again until it does. Another suicidal gamble. can write the script now....awful hold up play terrible first touch misses sitters, smith telling fans to give him time as he's in a new country playing in the "toughest league in the world" pathetic waste of 10m. the only sliver lining is he should be available for the cup semi, I just hope he can take a pen.

Blame FFP.... We can't sign anybody above and beyond that because financial "fair" play keeps things fair by not letting us replace an injured player.

Tomaszk Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 When we're playing well, all you have to be is an average striker and you'll get a lot of chances. Hopefully this frees Grealish up to come back into Midfield. We need composure in there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post M_Afro Posted January 16, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 16, 2020 Ha ha. I absolutely love Villa Talk. We need to sign a striker. Any effing striker.

maqroll Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Apparently Palace, Norwich and Brighton were all interested in Samatta as well, which should allay some fears 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bugzy1991 Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 (edited) We need a striker so pretty much anyone will do. But he's going to be shit. Pretty obviously not a good player at all. You don't get to 27 and worth only 10m euro if you're any good. Other prem teams would have been in for him if he had any semi decent quality. Very trezeguet type signing. Sorry for being negative. Hope he proves me wrong. Edited January 16, 2020 by Bugzy1991 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Mic09 Posted January 16, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 16, 2020 Jesus Christ, we haven't even signed him yet and he is already shit. Captain of his country, decent European record, good price tag, good name, looks lively in the box, (granted, no beard), but no, it's a waste of money and he is shit. Some of you need to go out for a walk, read a book, listen to some music, spend time with the loved ones. Maybe then you can cleanse yourself from all that negative bullshit you are throwing around, completely unnecessary. 16 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't get into your prime and be worth only 10m if you're any good. 10m for a first team striker is so low that most teams would buy him so fast if he had any ounce of quality. Probability is that he's more likely going to be a dud than any good. But any striker will do and we likely won't be buying better in January so sign him up. Surprised how low our budget is for a striker to keep us up in the prem tbh. Edited January 16, 2020 by Bugzy1991 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
