Tom13 Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 As long as his ability hasn't fallen off a cliff, I'd certainly take him on a short term deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Additionally improving the profile of the club and having a guaranteed goalscorer. Sounds perfect. Do we give him a shock collar so they can learn from him as a footballer, but once he starts impacting them by displaying despicable behaviour we can gently zap him back to compliance?

Well the club have completely thrown away the long term planning for short term planning though the 2 signings I will accept Not this racist piece of shit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what is going on unless this is utter BS. It will be going from trust the process to what process. Why is it different to signing Ashley Young or Pepe Reina?

This is it, its Purslow doing his mate a solid favour which will damage us long term. No chance we be allowed in Europe with FFP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StanBalaban Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Isn't this just a case of Suarez's camp saying they'd be interested in joining Villa after his contract is up, rather than Villa actively pursuing him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingman Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 1 hour ago, Five Ken McNaughts said: The Liverpool team’s decision to all wear pre-match t-shirts in defence of Suarez while the case was ongoing remains one of the most misguided and ignorant decisions of the modern football era, and should be a source of extreme embarrassment for that club. Wonder if they will knock down Anfield? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No chance we be allowed in Europe with FFP Do you seriously believe this? If we suffer financially long term due to our signings then Purslow’s reputation will be ruined. Does he seem the kind of guy that would risk that just to do ‘his mate a solid’? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No you can’t get his opinion yourself, but maybe don’t make any assumptions if that’s the case? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
