Would have sufficently filled in for the next 5 month as we try to break the top 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted February 2, 2021 Author Share Posted February 2, 2021 If we don't get any injuries (touch wood) then I'm not sure he would have played a decent enough number of games for us to justify the wage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have sufficently filled in for the next 5 month as we try to break the top 10. neither are bad players, but financially they are both horrendous deals. wilson has a 5 year contract at 100k pw and bournemouth somehow got 5m for a player out of contract at the end of the season! both are seriously ludicrous deals and i'd be raging if we took 5m out of the summer transfer kitty for king. bournemouth got shane long on loan as a replacement...i'd actually rather have him. he's an upgrade on davis at least 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Well at least we didn't try to re-sign Drinkwater or Baston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even barring injuries I'd rather bring Josh King on than KD. I know Traore is an option at CF but he hasn't got 90 minutes in him usually hanging out after an hour and he's our best RW (by far) so would rather he played there. Just feel we are injury away from finishing 12th rather 8th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All done now though we will see how things pan out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just feel we are injury away from finishing 12th rather 8th. agree with that but at the same time think that if the difference is getting a player we dont really want as cover in jan vs getting a player we really want in the summer then 12th isn't that bad long term we're safe, we're mid table, forget the big push for europe stuff, if it happens it happens if it doesnt it doesnt play without pressure, not bringing someone in means we can maybe play a bit with the youth, set ourselves up for 2021/22 or even beyond that, save the money and spend it better later, with the rumoured wages a loan for king even for 6 months sounds like a £5m investment, we can use that money better later for everton if its the difference between 8th and 6th then i can understand it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since he only ever scores against Villa, if he played for us he would score a hat-trick of own goals every other game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No more panic buys, we’re sensibly planning for a bright future now. Mid table is fine this season, it’s progress and anything else is a bonus. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
