So you don't see the connection between being linked with a foreign attacking player, normally an AMC of sorts, with flair and everything that goes with making people exciting that ends up with long ass VT threads that never amount to anything? Ok then. Personally I think I could mention one for each transfer window the last 10 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we'd have been linked to a different player in the same fashion, one that people were less keen on us signing then this rumour would have been rubbished by pretty much everyone, but as the there's an hunger for us to make a 'big name' signing, the uninformed mobos are believing what they want to believe, rather than what makes the most sense. Considering how tightly the club is run these days I find that highly unlikely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonLax Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 It’s likely we did bid but if the player turned us down we have probably moved on. All the theatrics now is about whether Bremen can get the money they want out of Red Bull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You make it seem as if repeating this non stop is some kind of new /exclusive information though. It's been reported and regurgitated a million times in this thread. We are WELL aware. Even you, yourself, in another thread referred to McGinn/Celtic/Us as being in a similar situation. Again, it's speculation, and more than likely until their is a conclusion one way or the other, or the mods recieve info which make them feel it's a dead issue, we continue to speculate. It's still weird how much this thread is winding people up. Why not close the Benerahma, Watkins, and more recently Edouard threads as well? As a matter of fact, the flip side of this is, Benerahma and Watkins might have other clubs interested in them, but are holding out for us to make an offer, as they might prefer to move to us. 99.99 percent the club have options, and might just feel Rashica is worth waiting for, if there is a chance he would/could sign?

Surely Bremen can just keep him for another season? They're in financial bother apparently. Also they need players to avoid another relegation battle. His fee will allow them to buy a number of players for a rebuild. Imagine us today if we didn't have billionaire owners and £120m odd income from the PL. We would 100% be selling Jack to buy 4/5 other players to try to keep us up next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crikey, I was metaphorically lynched on this thread for even suggesting it.

And most got angry at me for saying it, not the other way round. People did not get angry at you because of that. People didn't in fact get angry at all. People reacted to you saying that he doesn't want to come to Villa when no one actually knows anything about what he does or doesn't want to do, or even if we are actually in for him. He doesn't want to play for Villa seems to have become a fact when nothing factual exists. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 I was never filled with joy over the possibility of this signing anyway, something I wisely oracled against the grain from the beginning, not because I doubt that he's a good player, but more because he seems too similar to Grealish and plays in his position.

How could you be lynched for suggesting he preferred a move to Leipzig, when it was reported everywhere and discussed on the thread a multitude of times? You've been "lynched" for repeating it constantly, and popping into the thread just to tell us as FACT that he would never sign, and questioning the point of the thread etc. You and a couple of others who hate this thread so much, yet seem to take up so much space in it, baffling. Basically, you've been lynched for being a bit of a killjoy and annoying. lol Edited August 23, 2020 by JAMAICAN-VILLAN 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People weren't getting angry and you didn't just "suggest it". You were adamant that your interpretation was correct and were extremely condescending to anyone who had a different opinion. Nobody was angry at you for giving your opinion on the matter. You're entitled to have an opinion. You just wouldn't accept that people had different opinions and people rightly reacted to that.

In fact I’m not even here contributing to the page count. All I know is that he’s a footballer that we might or might not sign and people are speculating on this matter as is the general way of these speculation threads. Peace to you all and could the mods please knock one post off my total because I’m not actually here. Thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
