That says to me either the benrahma money is too much, wages too much or attitude not right. Else why would smith not pursue? Is that supposed to fill me with confidence? He chose to go for Wesley as well ahead of Maupay. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshVilla Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Why do i feel like i'm going to be left disappointed when the window closes and we end up paying over the odds for this chump and not Rashica. It's like expecting Beluga Caviar and being palmed off with Lumpfish Roe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much of this signing makes sense. Lyon fans have an attitude problem so I wouldn't worry about it! DS vets his targets for attitude and work ethic and if there were any genuine question marks he wouldn't bring Traore in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking back of the last 5 years at Villa for instance, the only players I can think of this being said by me or others are McCormack, Drinkwater and AEG? I assume you are talking broader in the footballing world, but who else ? Neymar or Balotelli are obviously someone who gets stick for this, warranted or not. It's very easy to find examples that are not black as well. Didn't mean to provoke by this btw. I know it's a touchy area, but I just got curious as to whether it's something factually in what you're saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would have known about him as an opposition player, and obviously knows the staff at Chelsea to get their opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I think you want benrahma as long as smith does NOT want benrahma BUT if smith does want him, you wouldnt trust his judgement and would now rather not have him? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
