I agree, throw in Eze, and that young left back they have coming through and there is good talent to be developed. If they can defend well, keep Zaha, and get the best out of Benteke they will be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I think he will struggle, he was dogshit at Nice. Would like him to do well (not that well ofc) but can't help thinking he'll be more De Boer than Pochettino.

We were too busy trolling Arsenal or something. i'm sure if we thought he was better than what we had we'd have been in for him. it's possible to have multiple targets on the go plus olise had a release clause, it was an easy one to do if he were any good. there's probably 15 prem sides he'd have signed for over palace, had any one of them bid for him. we weren't alone in thinking he's not good enough. he actually rejected palace in jan...he's billy big bollocks that wanted a big club to come in for him and no one bothered. he took the only girl on the dancefloor in the end.

villa4europe Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 hard to know with the young londoners, eze stated outright that he wanted to stay there, im aware that ESR might be exactly the same the other thing is joining palace for what is considered a good price maybe they know that they'll get 38 games and a chance to shine and then with their age the day for a bigger move will come when they're ready, i think palace is actually a good step in to the PL, i dont think if anyone else wnated him they'd have got him is necessarily true might also be a case of we think ESR plays further up the pitch in a role that we are lacking whilst olise would be too similar to what we already ahve both in the first team and coming through for the price you'd like to think we at least looked at him but you'd expect most of the PL did too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst I understand the logic, the whole "if he was any good other clubs would be in for him too" argument I quite dislike because you could apply that to loads of transfers on the face of it. Arsenals fans just did it with Buendia by saying that if he was really that good more clubs would've been in for him at that price. It just feels like the football version of sour grapes.

It just feels like the football version of sour grapes. granted, but at least in buendia's case there was at least 1 other club that showed legitimate interest. that didn't appear to be the case with olise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveAV1 Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 On 14/07/2021 at 12:38, MadridVilla said: Heard that we are monitoring Wayne Hennessey for a backup keeper. Personally, I would be disgusted by Villa signing him, after that unforgivable salute he didn't even apologise for. What a massive contradiction this signing would be to all the brilliant work that the Club, and in particular Tyrone Mings, have done to improve diversity and inclusivity. I take a lot of pride in the fact that Villa were the first team to take the knee back in June last year, so to sign someone so stupid and immature would be a really poor step in my opinion, and could really undermine the good work already done. Please Villa don't sign idiots like him What did he do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
