VillaChris Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 3 hours ago, Rich192 said: A lot of players have taken their medicals for moves to Saudi Arabia in France. So he could’ve had permission to travel there for a medical a few days before our game so it doesn’t disrupt our game plan for Sunday, and so when all the finances of the deal are sorted, he can move quickly? I get the feeling he'll play on Sunday and then probably leave soon after as I assume we'll move quickly on Acuna so could see that being confirmed over the weekend/early next week. Or he stays until Moreno gets fit which is logical given Saudi transfer deadline is middle of September I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abdulaziz1 Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 Sell him and play Revan on Sunday, I remember a game full of kids against the champions Man Utd at VP which they had a late 2-2 draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grantholtgolazo Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 One concern over him going would be what new hilarious joke can be repeated ad nauseam on here to take the place of “Digne’s wages…” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 I like Revan a lot, an underrated player from our group that won the FA Youth Cup, but I do wonder if people are overestimating him, his only senior football experience is a loan to the National League which was cut short before being sent to National League North, and last season he didn't get a loan at all so was playing for our U21s, if he gets a loan to League Two this season will be doing well, and if he plays any part in our first team will be an even bigger rise than Archer had when he went from Solihull to playing for our first team, obviously would be great if that happened, but trying be cautious. People saying he's better than Chrisene after a few pre-season games, but Chrisene had just come back from missing half a season and has played at a much higher level, he had already played at an higher level before he signed for us, and has since performed well at Scottish Premier League level, recent lengthy injuries might hinder his chances for now, but if it weren't for those would he probably be on the verge of a Championship loan, if he can stay fit that probably won't be far away for him. If Digne was to leave in coming days, I think we would just start with Pau at left-back if a newley signed left-back not available yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomaszk Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 No clue what the answer is but FIFA need to act on Saudi. They let things slide with multiple club groups and buy-back clauses. It's absolutely broken, approaching beyond repair. Honestly think deals like Digne (should it go through, expect Saudi to pull out at any point) are just to keep clubs off their back while they go about ruining the rest of football. Far from the realms of possibility Chelsea and Newcastle will join City in the top 4 for the foreseeable and they will not be dropping back out with Saudi funding. Total mess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obscene waste of money that the usual contrarians have adopted to get some attention. I hope you're not in charge of people's appraisals where you work! He's been just fine for us. Not the greatest player we've ever had, but by no means a bad player. Last season was a decent showing for us under Emery! A few important goals too. As to his wages, not that anyone here ACTUALLY knows what he earns, that's more the clubs fault than his for agreeing to them. If he ends up staying, he will be a solid part of the squad. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The loudest noises here and on the internet are often both arrogant and extreme. He was a Gerrard signing and therefore he’s horrible and fleeced us. When in fact he accepted a contract and has been decent. Yes he’s on way too high wages but he’s not the devil. It’s hard to have a debate here when everything gets so polarised. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's done nothing wrong, agree. Club (Purslow) ballsed up by giving the rocket polisher of a manager a player he wanted without any research beyond Gerrard saying "Yeah, he's a player" 36 minutes ago, Monkeypuzzle said: If he ends up staying, he will be a solid part of the squad. He'll continue to be poor or average being paid the most at the club. For the club to function properly we cannot have a back-up left back on more than every other player. That's why we're paying through the anus to get him out even if the Saudi bid turns out to be wasting our time (shock). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
