AvonVillain Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 +, according to one Celtic supporter, why would he choose such a 'boring' club as Villa. Could you really describe Villa as boring!? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodders0223 Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Come on VT. I see player thread I get excited. I don't have the time I used to to keep up with it all. This is my go to most times. Are we making players threads off Nixon tweets nowadays? Come on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Watkins was decent enough playing out wide, and if he signs I'm sure we'd use him there on occasion, but he was nowhere near as good as he was when playing as a centre-forward where he was outstanding, and it wasn't just scoring goals where he improved, his overall game and consistency improved. Whoever it is that he signs for he'll be signed primarily as a centre-forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you really describe Villa as boring!? I guess he's right, i mean what player would want to swap travelling to play at tannadice on a wet and windy Saturday evening. Look, end of the the day you'll probably get a lot of back and forth between Celtic and Villa fans over Edouard. We are a big club, in a league that dwarfs their one. They can throw the whole " oh we can give him european football" angle on it. They rarely play past Christmas. They know this. Edouard knows this. There is no way Celtic signed that fella from West Ham to not be a replacement for Edouard. They expect him to leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've been salty ever since they made about 10 attempts to sign McGinn when nobody else was interested and we signed him in the space of 2 days. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sulberto21 Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 At least for Villa he gets to play on proper grass pitches. Pretty sure they've got 3g artificial pitches in some grounds north of the border. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you really describe Villa as boring!? They reacted exactly the same when we signed Shaun Maloney from them aswell. A 12th hour steal on January 31st deadline day for a cool... £1m. I find it hillarious. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange, as I actually think we are one of the friendliest/family clubs going ffs. You should see Sheffield United's fans hate towards us lately. It's bordering on the obsessively creepy. Vitriolic stuff too. They get really wound up though when you tell them their system and way of playing will fall to pieces and they'll fall through the league's again, when Wilder goes to a bigger club 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 When Celtic fans say that they feel that Édouard is too good for us me no think that they mean anything bad by it, it's just that he's been linked to much better placed teams than us and indeed it would be a surprise if we managed to sign him, a big statement of intent. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Just popped in on one of their forums to see what they say about him. Jebus! 95% of the screen is covered in adds, you can pretty much only see 1 post, the rest is adds. They seem terrified of losing him and they also seem to disagree about weather he's a #9 or a #10 so perfect for us as we'll get something to argue about. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would argue that a signing from Celtic is a statement of intent. Edited August 23, 2020 by AvfcRigo82 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
