He doesn't have a future at United I guess they are protecting an asset and will probably want £20 million for him next season. Can’t believe we are after Tuanzebe with his injury record. Why loan a player that has played an average of 4 games a season, if we subtract the 28 he played in one of our championship seasons? 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If things turn out like last season, he might not even get a chance to play at all. Its not like we're relying on this guy to be fit the entire season, just for a couple of games if even that. Its like the loan we did for Baston. Its just cheap, short-term, low risk cover in case of an emergency.

pintpotvilla Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 17 hours ago, Vive_La_Villa said: I’ve watched him quite a few times and I just don’t think he has that something special you need to see in younger players for them to make it at this level. Don’t get me wrong I’m sure he’ll still have a great career and I’m no football scout but I just can’t see it happening at the level we wish to be at. Hopefully Im wrong. I think Ben Christen looks the better player. Is he a full back? Midfielder I thought 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KangarooVillan Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Something stinks re Anguissa - stats are good but no ones bought. Is it attitude? He was the Fulham player that refused to play Championship right and went out on loan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have seen glimpses of his quality distribution and creativity, see 1.00 in the below: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5An9Itj0bo Best passer at the club by a distance (maybe Buendia is now better) but yes, we need to see that more - that’s the step up from young prospect to consistent player we now need to see.

Its like the loan we did for Baston. Its just cheap, short-term, low risk cover in case of an emergency. But if we’re going down this route, why pay Man Utd a (sizeable) loan fee for 2 matches cover? Also why do people assume that the only people who have a say in all of this are the clubs? The biggest single deciding factor in this is the player. Why on earth would he come here to be fourth choice centre back? It would be better for him to play a season in the championship than 2 games for us. Or he might as well sit where he is, and train with his friends, and go home to his home than come to villa and be ‘fourth choice’ and commute 3 to 4 hours a day or stay in a hotel. The ‘loan’ for Baston was a totally pointless shit thing that served no purpose. Literally would have been better to play a youth player or no striker. Not a good example to quote.

GENTLEMAN Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Could the media talk of our 'interest' in Axel be blowback from us trying to tentatively negotiate with Utd over JG? I also seen rumours of Martial & Dan James. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
