Moneyball means analyzing market and buying undervalued players which JWP would certainly not be having just signed 5 year deal Edited June 7, 2021 by Kiwivillan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QldVilla Posted June 7, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted June 7, 2021 We all know how these things work, if JWP has any interest at all, he’ll probably have a discussion with the Villa lads in camp to see what’s going on. If it peaks his interest his next phone call is his agent. Then comes down to money... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have the Telegraph ran a story based on initial one like other outlets? Seems pretty fishy Percy is never early on a story - that’s how you know when he posts it’s golden. But you might well be right. My point is just Doyle doesn’t have a record or reason to make stuff up. My guess is we are interested. My guess is also we won’t pay what they want. So I would think you will turn out to be correct that we don’t sign him, and as you don’t rate him then I’m sure you’ll be delighted! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like he's not written about nor discussed Villa before. He also writes our match report for the Guardian for pretty much every single game at Villa Park (though as I have said elsewhere, doesn’t often write about transfers).

I said it would be unusual for the way we've conducted our business to go after a player that's just signed a 5 year contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's getting boring It's generally how a select few on this forum operate. I think I've spent more time on this forum telling people what I haven't said than actually defending a point I have made. Guess slumming it with people who develop their critical thinking at Twitter instead of universities leads you to this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not insane You’re absolutely fine with words and I understood what you meant just time around. Despite the hole Kiwivillan has dug for himself, I’m fairly certain there’s something in this. I’ve no ITK myself, but the people who generally are are saying “there’s something in this”. Could be a herd mentality thing of course, but then why listen to any rumour ever if you can’t leave a little room in your life to go with it? The move makes perfect sense to me. To Villa, to JWP and if the price is right, to Southampton. Which is probably why it won’t happen, because I can’t imagine their price being quite what we’re willing to pay. We shall see. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
