He’s going to have a shock when he realises he can’t just amble around in the PL! Yet they are shit this season? Make your mind up mate.

He's audacious but he pulls them off like it's nothing and I think the guy he's dispossessed is always as surprised as I was watching. I don't think he is going to add anything at all from an on ball perspective but I could be wrong. Compared to Nakamba, surely he is better in possession? Probably not compared to Luiz though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will easily be our best passer of the ball in midfield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The on ball aspect of his game featured maybe half a dozen very simple passes that all were to play it to a team-mate who was better positioned to play it forward. What do I know after seeing ten minutes of highlights? Not much. But thought it might be worth adding to discussion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cover areas of the field when other midfielders have pushed on. Always be available for a pass to keep the ball moving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loxstock92 Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Could go down to the wire, still think £21m would be great value if we met that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post thunderball Posted January 28, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 28, 2022 I've gone 180 on this, I now dont want us to sign him. I just cant stand the thought of @Delphinho123's "I told you so" when he can't bring his game to the Premier League, its too much to bear. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sulberto21 Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 That means Bentancur has agreed personal terms then. Possibly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarryOnVilla Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 (edited) 21m seems reasonable. that’s less than half of a Bissouma and simultaneously more than 7 Elphicks Edited January 28, 2022 by CarryOnVilla 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 We are shrewd negotiators - if they want him it will happen. We aren’t going to have our pants pulled down like Newcastle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
