But somebody said we’d have Coutinho I’d have to ask what they’d been smoking (and if I could have some). Coutinho was someone not wanted at the club and no one wanted to sign for the financial package it would take. What was extraordinary about the deal was the financial package that it took in the end, not that we signed him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless of the circumstances if you told me Coutinho would be our player a year ago I would say you have lost the plot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, you certainly had your pants pulled down there. 1 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if other clubs had been able to get him for the salary we did, they'd have jumped at the chance. Fact is, he didn't want to play for anyone else. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, of course, but I get "no," too, since my long-held Villa gloom always tells me "don't get carried away now." It's a lovely photo, and it makes me feel instantly happy, so I get the excitement. But ... 2 hours ago, paul514 said: A player no one wanted, a championship player and a 29 year old with a year left on his deal at the 4th/5th biggest club in Spain..... Yea I did I mean, yeah, why the eff not? We need imagination and ambition, after all, don't we? I thought we were going for Europe? If we can't even imagine players like this at Villa and better ones, can we please just drop all the "aiming for Europe" nonsense?

He's definitely had his nose put out of joint with Carlos' arrival. The squad is looking really hungry. If we can steer clear of injuries then I think we'll have a good season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 El Ghazi is playing with the youth teams against Hednesford tonight according to reports on twitter, so clearly has not travelled to Australia. Others who have been touted as leaving such as Keinan Davis and Guilbert are both in Brisbane, so it would seem Anwar's move away is either more guaranteed to happen or more imminent.

Wes Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 (edited) And Speaking of Keinan Seems the original report is from Percy in this article. The full quote is: Forest have also held cordial discussions with Aston Villa over a possible deal for Keinan Davis, who spent the second half of last season on loan. Villa and Forest have excellent relationships both at board and manager level and Davis could yet return to the City Ground this summer. Davis has joined Villa in Australia for their pre-season tour, however, and a deal is not believed to be imminent.

Must be really tough for players at times One minute you're a " star " and guaranteed starter. Next minute you're out of form, out of favour, injured and watching you're trusted work mates canoodling with the new cool kids on the block, knowing that things might never be the same for you again.

I bet Gerrard wanted to have a look at Davis and Archer himself in pre season before he decided on their futures. Yes we would likely sell Davis but Gerrard could rate him enough that whatever offer Forest made wasn't worth selling him at. It's also good for the squad if Loan players are assessed by the manager, shows everyone is under consideration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
