villa89 Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Probably better not to let Gerrard spend any more money, wait for a new manager and give him the option of buying who he wants. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KMitch Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Thank god this is off... Wrong player who is inconsistent and lazy. I wouldn't give Gerrard another dime at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 (edited) There’s a lot of pretty embarrassing things about the club right now but this deal falling through is absolutely not one of them.

John Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 I don't see how this is the fault of either SG or Villa. More likely the player/his agent never really wanted to sign for us and was hoping to flush out a bid from another club (possibly in London). Apparently talks had not yet been held between Villa and the player, so the deal was not really too near completion when the move was "leaked". Perhaps, a deal had been agreed between the two clubs more quickly than had been anticipated and making unrealistic wage demands, was a way of making the deal go away or more palatable for the player/agent. I don't blame SG for pulling out of the deal, if he could see the player didn't really want to join our club and that his heart was not in a move to B6. We might not know ever/or for a long time, why this proposed deal fizzled out, but I think the player/agent won't be losing any sleep about this. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So a fee would have to be agreed for Hause to be sold to them if Archer was to go on loan too. Plus sounds like Sarr personal terms were also a factor. Just seems too complicated a deal so no wonder it fell through. Maybe we feel they'll be open to a more simple deal near deadline day or in January. Player and club both want a move for him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USA_Villa Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Good player, but we should not be spending this type of money when Gerrard's job is in jeopardy. Archer should not be part of this or any other deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Being reported by Athletic Sarr personal terms couldn't be agreed so we withdrew from the deal. I can't imagine personal terms weren't close before our bid was accepted. So these rumours that Sarr upped his demand from what his agent had agreed with us might be true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Griffin Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 This thread has been very funny. First half of the thread has been moaning about Gerrard saying we shouldn't sign Sarr Second half is moaning about how we are an embarrassment not buying Sarr The 'NSWE won't spend any money or back Gerrard' appear to be kicked to touch It will be more fun if Sarr signs for Palace and the meltdown on here that we missed a great opportunity 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
