The selfish bastard!! He loses some support from me for this. Why should anyone support him when as you say he's got no issues potentially **** over the season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve always lost players to injuries picked up on international duty. This is no different really. It’s not their fault the situation is such a mess. No, this is very different. An injury is something that might happen, it's a risk but it's professional sport so it's expected. This is a player knowing that his decision to leave will 100% result in missing multiple other games. It's not the same at all IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why should he get a pass just because he is a top keeper. We’re bigger than that. Im convinced there must be a compromise. No way is he missing 10 games.

Vive_La_Villa Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 I really hope Steer plays really well while Emi has gone and he comes back to sitting on the bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Are they allowing fans into games in Argentina or the rest of South America? I wonder if they could just move the game somewhere neutral. There must be some sort of compromise out there. Also people need to get a grip.

Last I could see, the FA said they couldn't go, then Infantino ASKED Boris Johnson to give them a pass and Boris said no. So, with that said, they're not being released, right? The original FA rule stands. Well as I was mentioning earlier, I wonder if it ultimately ends up back with FIFAs initial ruling of "PL clubs can no longer block players from traveling for international duty." But I have no idea. It all seems to be a mess thanks to FIFA shoving in excess games and this 10 day mandatory quarantine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woody1000 Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 What would happen if the players refused to quarantine after their return? Would they just be hit with a fine or could the face a judicial sentence? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's a breakdown: 22 hours ago, MessiWillSignForVilla said: Argentina's last game is 10/09, so by the time he's back he'll miss Chelsea, Everton and Chelsea (LC) through Quarantine, he'd be available for Man Utd, but would likely only have about 1 day training after 10 sat in a hotel room, then back for Spurs, but then there's another international break so it's the same shit again, missing Wolves and Arsenal through quarantine and barely any training before West Ham and Southampton, another international break where he'd miss Brighton and Palace, potentially Man City. So at least 7 through quarantine, but possibly up to 12 plus any more League Cup games due to lack of match fitness and about 20-ish days missed training. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all honesty though, what are FIFA gonna do if the FA stop players from going? Fine the FA? I know they never do, but FIFA need to use their heads here and see the special circumstances in play. Emi, also, but he has been put in an awkward spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post bannedfromHandV Posted August 28, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 28, 2021 Wow, did not expect to come in here to see people actually posting for him to leave because he wants to represent his country. That’s a serious lack of logic and perspective frankly. 7 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rightdm00 Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 In France if you are vaccinated all you need is a negative test to return to the country. Germany still requires a quarantine but vaccinated travelers can test out if they get negative test 5 days apart. Why doesn't the UK make any distinction?

Popular Post Stephen_Evans Posted August 28, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 28, 2021 42,045 inside Villa Park today. But our goalkeeper will have 10 days in quarantine if he goes to Argentina. I wonder where the greater risk is. Logic went out the window a long time ago where Covid is concerned! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mantis Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 I understand the frustration with him but ultimately it's the rules I'm most angry at. They're ridiculous and completely nonsensical, especially given the amount of testing the players get anyway. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WooJung Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 I'd they willingly put themselves into a position in which they won't be able to do the work their employers pay them for, i.e. playing football for them, then they can be bomb-squadded as far as I'm concerned. This is a massive f u to the club, especially from Martinez, who wouldn't even be in the squad if he hadn't come here, but also on Buendia, on who just broke a spending record. If they go through with this then as far as I'm concerned they join the various McCormacs, Irelands and Lescotts of this world. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
