I don’t think he’s quite good enough to carry us through a prem season, and sitting on the bench playing occasional minutes won’t be good for his development at all. it would be great to see him get a full season under his belt and develop a bit of confidence in front of goal Yup.

Martinez we only knew about weeks ago because of S-Platt, the concrete story only came out a few days ago, hence the thread only started a few days ago. I'd say we've done pretty well at keeping things quiet well thats not true. The point is we have known about all of this. Some keep going on about this myth where we first hear of it when the club announce it. We don't. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once we make an enquiry, there are other sources of leaks than the Villa side, ie. the selling club, the player, the player’s agent, the player’s team mates, the player’s friends and family, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless of where it is from, its obvious that our business is out there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think anyone has suggested, and I can probably confirm at least in the last 10 or so years, that no signing we have made in that time has first announced by the club. So I agree on that point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It only takes one big mouth with an agenda to start singing. Very hard to keep things 100% confidential. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brummybloke Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Baffled why Turkish clubs are being mentioned for any UK based players. Turkish football is bankrupt. They can't pay the players they have let alone new players. Gone are the days of last big money moves there. The richest clubs are hundreds of millions in debt with players not getting paid. They will only get loans where the owning club pay 50% plus of any wage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keinan tends to run at defenders, creating a bit of havoc and getting into decent scoring positions. His ability to bulldoze his way past players because of his pace and strength is marvelous to watch. Samatta is looking completely lost at this level. We'll have to agree to disagree, but i really like Keinan and think he offers us a lot. Edited September 9, 2020 by villalad21 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted September 9, 2020 Author Share Posted September 9, 2020 Probably just a mix up, the Stade Rennais player we are signing is obviously Eduardo Camavinga. £150m should be enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say "Maestros" or accomplished solid CM's can go for much longer than players who need pace as one of their main attributes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
