sne Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 Haaland only have 14 headed goals from a career 154 goals so Pep probably should have gone with someone else if he intended to start relying on floated crosses to a center tank. City bought him because he's the best central attacker money can buy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRO Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 Well based on that first half, I don't see much competition for Joao Felix. Wouldn't go near him based on that. I don't care how much talent these players have, if they lack desire, workrate and an interest in winning.....thay won't take us, where we want to go. 6 hours ago, Adam2003 said: TRO I agree totally but I think in ten years heading will likely have been banned. Seems like Morocco haven't given up on the art either. When other sports like Boxing, Rugby are still engaged in blows to the head....I'm not sure it will be banned. They can't even have elbow pads to avoid damage from the elbow, so I don't know if there is a will to ban heading the ball. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 (edited) What a passive first half from him. I see what Simone see's. Edited December 10, 2022 by TRO 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judge a player on 45 minutes - OK Allow a manager to ruin the club in a year - he needs more time and patience 2 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, maybe if we still had all the Grealish money lying around, and even then, probably not. The NSWE approach has not been to spend recklessly on star players. He's full of talent and potential, but he's not consistent enough to be truly great yet. Even if I were Man City, I wouldn't drop €127m on him.

brummybloke Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 That desperate to sign for us and meet the squad while they are in dubai he got knocked out of the world Cup. I'm sorry but if that's not showing his full commitment to the villa then I really don't know what is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villan_of_oz Posted December 10, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted December 10, 2022 Not just based on Portugal losing, but if we are going to spunk north of 50m on anyone, they need to be 'proven', this guy isn't what we need... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thabucks Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 Quote It is said that Mendes is expected to arrive the country this week as he looks to speak to both Newcastle and Villa regarding their interest in Felix over the coming days. Previous discussions have already been held with the likes of United and Chelsea, though, which suggests that they could still be in the frame to land Felix before the end of next month. https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1707920/Newcastle-Aston-Villa-Joao-Felix-talks-agent-jets-into-UK-Man-Utd-transfer-news sounds like we could be in the mix with Atletico and it will be down to players choice… 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness, so starved are we of proper football at the moment, we will talk about any slightest Villa related news. Usually, this would have been half a page in the general transfer thread.
