I take it Spurs can cope without Romero and Lo Celso. Nope. Unless I've missed someone, us and Tottyham are the only teams being affected by this.

Vive_La_Villa Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 if he can really miss that many games then we should sack the word removed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conmebol and FIFA arranged these games and British government is forcing them to quarantine Buendia for example might never get another Argentina cap Agreed on all counts. (Although Buendia is quality) Its still ultimately **** us over. Starting to suspect this is going to be a “just get to 40 points” kind of season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be fun on here in January when we lose more players to the African Nations Cup Their actions will cause them to miss games outside of the international window though. I can take 2 weeks leave from work... work can't dictate where I go, but if I go to a red list country for 2 weeks and then have to quarantine for 10 days afterwards, and miss work, they would go batshit crazy at me. No doubt i'd get a warning and lose any chance of a payrise/bonus. This is no different. They know the consequences of their actions. People have to make sacrifices during these 'strange times' As for AFCON, thats different because that is known about well in advance and you know that when you sign African players 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vive_La_Villa Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 I don’t care about Buendia but Martinez has already cemented his place as number 1. They will qualify with or without him but it will truly **** up the season of the club they pays his wages. **** him off. If he really goes and misses 10 games hope he never plays for us again.

His Name Is Death Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Great. We finally get two genuinely world class players and one, a 'boyhood Villa fan', gets swept up by Man City at the moment when we're in touching distance of a Euro-worthy squad, and the other will be in quarantine for a third of the season (and then probably go elsewhere due to bad blood). We've got no luck whatsoever. It's like what we're trying to build is hubris and we're being royally punished for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xela Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 I think i'd probably feel more comfortable if we had a better number 2 GK. I like Steer, but not sure he's PL quality. If we still had Heaton it wouldn't be a concern. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
