What I meant was rangers never really wanted RHM, it was agent talk to try and push through a deal at villa, if he has 6 months left then this could easily be the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've no idea why we've let his contract run down so much in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Hard to tell, again I'm not a fan of agents so I'll blame him before I blame the villa, if Barry and carney signed deals getting them say £5k a week and this guy comes in wanting £15k then I can see why villa want as long as they can get to see if he's worth it or try and negotiate it down, traditionally with only really English clubs to compete with for his signature they'd have until May to get it sorted We have some good people in charge of our academy so just have to trust them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't want to break the structure and set much higher precedents for wages, but at the same time you don't want to let a player go who could be the next Sterling or Sancho - especially as we'd be getting peanuts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Obviously not to be held ransom (not saying he is making unrealistic demands, I have no clue) but with the new Brexit rules coming into effect at the new year keeping our young talents is even more important. Really hope he signs a new contract. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hippo Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 If the guys in power at our club can tie Grealish to a long term deal and lure Martinez from arsenal, I'm confident they will do the right thing here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post useless Posted December 29, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 29, 2020 He signed a new professional contract this August so I'd be surprised if it only had six months left to go on it. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 (edited) Yeah I remember him signing that contract. Looks like Footballer Insider are using Transfermarkt for their made up rumours. Oops. Edited December 29, 2020 by Tomaszk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 (edited) A Bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush. He has great potential, but I too, trust the club to make the right move. A young player called "Marlon Broom" was playing the villa many years ago, and he left in the end, got nowhere in the game, after rave reviews....its a dangerous game to play for any young player, if of course that is whats happening. I always get very dubious of young players getting ahead of themselves at a young age. Edited December 30, 2020 by TRO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HalfTimePost Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Saw this earlier about Jaden potentially moviNg on; apparently his contract was only a year long. Leipzig interest as mentioned aNovember (along with Arsenal and City) but this seems to think he could be on his way to Brugge. Would assume if that's the case he's very keen for first team football. Tough one, we all know we don't see Trez, Traore and AEG as the future but hard for him to get a look in - plus he favours the left hand side which is obviously even tougher. A 3 year deal and a season long loan would be ideal for us and him you feel, be a shame to lose him 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaVilla Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 wait, we are saying he signed his first professional contract in August....for just 1 year???, i almost find that hard to believe?, 1 year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 I'm not sure if youngsters signing short term contracts when they get their first professional deal is that uncommon, think it's usually one or two years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nepal_villan Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 This type of stuff will happen occasionally. Just have to live with it. One of Spurs' top defensive prospects in their academy decided to go to MLS last year and has since been signed by Bologna. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Are the 'AVFC Faithful' very reliable? I've scrolled through some of their tweets and it doesn't look like they usually deal in speculation, but apart from a Brugge fan account linking them with Philogene-Bidace earlier today I can't find anything else, yet people are reacting to the AVFC Faithful tweet as if it's confirmation that he's going. If there's any truth to it and they're going to give him game time, then surely it would benefit him and us more, if it was a loan move. Along with Chukwuemeka he's probably been the best and most consistent player for our U23s this season from what I've seen, he and Barry are the only two scoring on a regular basis as well. No guarantees that he's going to make it, but would be a big shame to lose him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jono62 Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Maybe we can do a deal with Club Brugge where we send our youngsters there on loan for experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
