Wainy316 Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 So we've pulled the plug on a winger and loaned out one of the two we have. Gerrard doubling down on his shite system? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post useless Posted August 22, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 22, 2022 I'm fed up of hearing about a central midfielder in this thread and on twitter, this deal has nothing whatsoever to do with whether we sign a midfielder or not, can't believe the amount of people that don't realize that just because we tried to sign Sarr doesn't mean to say we're not also trying to sign a midfielder. Just because the Sarr deal was made public, that doesn't mean to say that signing a forward is a priority over signing a midfielder, clubs can work on more than one deal at once. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 (edited) Quote Ismailia Sarr’s move to Aston Villa has collapsed. A host of stumbling blocks meant Villa have withdrawn from negotiations. Agreement was reached with Watford on Saturday for a fee worth more than £25m with add-ons, and Sarr was due to undergo a medical in Birmingham today. But problems emerged when the two sides began to discuss the details of the deal, which included the possibility of Cameron Archer or Kortney Hause joining Watford on loan. Sky Sports News has been told that Steven Gerrard - and Villa’s bosses - had growing reservations over the deal, and have walked away. Sarr was not in the Watford squad for Saturday's match at Preston North End, though Watford manager Rob Edwards said he was left out because of injury. click hmm sounds like watford or the players representatives were being very unrealistic and we weren't having it Edited August 22, 2022 by Demitri_C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People just want to twist it and attack the club. Whatever the outcome we move forward. Deals happen and break down all the time. People need to stop exceptionalising this deal because of their hatred of Gerrard. Edited August 22, 2022 by The_Steve 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not happy with Gerrard but when everything is twisted to have a dig at him i almost feel compelled to defend him. Go on then. Defend him. What would you use, pray tell, to defend a manager who's won 3 league games from a possible 14? Who's got the best Villa squad in years at his disposal, but has them looking like they haven't a clue how to play football together, can't string 3 passes together, can't convert chances into goals, can't defend? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like we were just being taking for a ride Including Archer and Hause and Sarr asking for too much in personal terms. Probably just too complicated and us walking away makes sense. Sarr wants to leave and Watford want to sell so someone will sign him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
