GlobalVillan Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 1 minute ago, villa4europe said: That's something different In the summer I could understand it if we had a bit more of a look, especially if we had CL But not now, I think the risk is higher now that we end up buying our equivalent of Chris Wood - someone who we buy we get to where we need to be but arguably not because of him and then he's a dead weight that we take a loss on next season If a smart loan came up then maybe we take it but I just don't see us buying someone for the role that we could potentially give Add to that the fact that unlike previous Villa owners and managers, we are club with a long term vision and January signings are generally anything but that. (Still can't believe we got Ash and Carew in Jan, at least I think we did lol) I still think Werner was a smart signing tho. Hopefully not of course! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skarroki Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Noticed that Duran has started signing off a lot of his Facebook posts about villa with #JD9 which makes me wonder if he's been promised a shirt number swap in the future, or whether he's just manifesting that number.

Number 9 will probably be available in the summer when Bertie goes, I don't think they can change mid-season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that instance, I know of at least 2 Newcastle players and 1 Chelsea player that could be moving in Jan. Since one of them has already turned us down before, despite being offered more money, it's unlikely we will be signing him. I would be surprised if we sign a striker in Jan but it's not impossible. The summer is a different story though. A lot of summer deals are actually agreed in January as thats when agents are going up and down the country dealing with enquiries, mostly loans, and so they often end up agreeing (off the record) to do the deal in the summer. This can be down to the selling club wanting far too much money to let a player go mid season, or beacuse the buying club need to balance the books for the current FFP or tax year.

You can change mid season. Ronaldo got No7 off Cavani when he joined United. Club will have to reimburse any fans who bought Jerseys that season with No7 Cavani on back if they request it. So we can give him No9 if we want to. I doubt there is that many Bertie No9 kits that would be returned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah sorry I meant in the summer we could offer him that shirt, or promised it's his once available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilbertoAVFC Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Bloke is annoying me now. Doesn't seem to be a team player. Shouted at at least two of our own players. Always getting into unnecessary scuffles. Must've been told to cut it out yet doesn't. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshVilla Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Please get rid on loan or something. Not prem level, thinks he's at a level beyond what he actually is. Fed up of seeing him throw a strop after every 50/50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’d be hailed as a player with high potential that just needs to cut out his attitude if one of the chances went in. Came on, made an impact. Did well.

tomav84 Posted January 14 VT Supporter Share Posted January 14 even when we've had players who have been below par, their good character makes you WANT them do improve and do well. but there's something very unlikable about the guy. i don't mind a bit of attitude when you can back it up which he just isn't doing for me aside from holding the ball up well which isn't hard when you're his size. even keinan davis managed to do that (sometimes) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
