Popular Post CVByrne Posted January 23, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 23, 2023 As far as half of VT are concerned a player is only any use if he plays 10 or something games in a PL season. The concept of having a large squad to cope with unforseen injuries is lost on people. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just making up the numbers here and given the cheap goals Saints give away from set pieces like Ollie's winner he can surely make a difference there. Would assume Carlos will be back involved within four weeks so don't think we'll be signing anyone to replace him. Dendoncker played a few times for Wolves at the back so he will be emergency option in case of endless injuries. He also played there a couple of times for Belgium at the World Cup I think? Anyway, between Chambers and him and with Carlos on the horizon I don't think we should waste a squad space on a direct replacement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMightyVillans Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Good choice. Free up loan slot. Dendoncker can always fill in until carlos is back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indigo Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Wasn't really pointless, ensured we had 4 CBs still while Carlos was out injured and now goes back with him closer to fitness + with the likes of Dendoncker, Kamara that could cover in the event Villa were really stuck. Will be one of those that you forget even happened in a couple of years time but he came in useful at times all the same. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Hmm so we have only chambers as cover at the moment. Risky Although dendonker and kamara can play there i guess but wouldnt give me much confidence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MachoFantastico Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Looking at Twitter, I get the impression some Southampton fans aren't exactly excited to have him back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davkaus Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 It wasn't a pointless signing, but from the perspective of Southampton and Bednarek, it was a waste, you're never going to be happy having your squad players out on loan never actually playing, and he must be frustrated at not getting a kick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QldVilla Posted January 23, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted January 23, 2023 To be honest, I’d forgotten he was at the club… Hopefully gets an opportunity back at Southampton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naka was smashing the ball 50 yards at him, he took it on the volley, controlled, 2 or 3 keepy uppies and launched a sumptuous volley back at Naka pin point over 50 yards. Ball never touched the floor. Did this repeatedly for 15 mins. Never missed one. Gets on the pitch and looks like a league 2 donkey! I see this a lot. Players in warmups or at BH repeatedly demonstrate insane ball skills. In match conditions they either never even attempt it, or if they do they screw it up and quickly revert to 'play it safe'. I can only think it's down to mentality - fear of messing up in front of a crowd and consequent loss of confidence. It's what sets apart the Bests, Cruyffs, Gazzas and Maradonnas - total self-confidence and fearlessness. Only a very select few have it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheltenham_villa Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 all very sensible, the loan made sense but i was glad we didnt need to use him. Now we're clearing a wage, opening a loan spot and can potentially create game time or bench time for a kid. This one feels very well managed by the club. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demitri_C Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Didnt bednarek something along the linea of it was important of him to move to a bigger club? Could be very awkward for him now there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
