BG_Villa_Fan Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Sensible signing, decent fee. He can play ahead of Guilbert too if needed. Not super exciting, but not bad either. Expecting a couple more signings of this kind and hopefully a marquee one, Rashica or Edouard, or someone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 I would not have predicted our first signing this window would be a right back. Forward, winger, defensive midfielder and goalkeeper I would put ahead in order of preference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonLax Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Well for everyone saying ‘just hurry up and pay what they are asking for’, it seems that’s what we’ve done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomav84 Posted September 2, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted September 2, 2020 not the striker we wanted, but if he's an improvement on what we have then i'm all for it. it says to me that probably elmo will possibly be moved on however, which makes me sad i hope we do keep him though if nothing else than another winger. he's better than ghaz or trez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KentVillan Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Very good signing IMO. Not the marquee signing we're all after, but definitely adds quality to the squad, and would expect him to hit the ground running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Seems like we are willing to pay a little more than we’d like to land our targets. Expect Watkins to be signed next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaFaninLondon Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Well it's a signing. Can't say I'm overjoyed at it especially when Spurs paid similar for Matt Doherty but I'll give the lad a chance. We really have to sign some quality in other positions though and pronto. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a player becomes available, is attainable and can make the team better - you go for it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichiBoi11 Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 The encouraging sign is how gutted Forest fans are that he's leaving. Plus everyone assumes he's coming in to play right back, but don't forget he has only played that position for 1 season. Before that he was a rightwinger or centre mid, and in the ridiculous 5-5 we played a couple of seasons back he played (and scored) as a left winger. His versatility could really help us out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He won’t be able to resist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KAZZAM Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Guessing it's 13 Mill plus 3 Mill addons. A little steep was hoping for a bit less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddywhack Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Probably already mentioned in this thread but, I didn't realise he scored against us in the 5-5. He shushed the Holte after too haha. I might be wrong, but I think he was playing the left of a front three that day, with Grabban up top and Lolley on the right.
