dont_do_it_doug. Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 £10m for a Belgian international with over 120 appearances in the Premier League is a cracking price. We miss a player of his ilk too, he's an upgrade on Nakamba. A year ago we would never have gotten him through the door, and Wolves fans would have been screwing. Fallen out of favour a touch, but their manager appears to be a charlatan also. Good bit of business this. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rino8 Posted September 1, 2022 Visiting Supporter Share Posted September 1, 2022 I think he's decent. Haven't watched whatever shitshow Gerrard is inflicting on you this season but he's an upgrade on some of your midfield. If you play with a 3 of him, McGinn and Kamara you're going to look awful though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobzy Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 He's a holding midfielder capable of playing in the back line - exactly like Kamara. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially since some of our fans seem to think " International " = Top Class automatically. lol Surely they can't contradict themselves now?

Mantis Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Wouldn't be a terrible signing. I'm willing to reserve judgement until we see him in a Villa shirt. Certainly the fact that he's apparently not been great for Wolves recently doesn't mean he won't do well here. I just hope he doesn't have to spend too long playing under Gerrard.

Teale's 'tache Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Are we absolutely sure that it's not a misspelling and we are actually after Neves? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 I'm apathetic. We'd never have signed him 6 weeks ago, but here we are now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW I'm not a big fan of Dendonker, but I can see he has some attributes that we lack. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farlz Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 I don’t really get it. He’s best as a DM and we only play with one so unless he’s being signed as cover? Meh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
