He can't be particularly motivated tbf. To still be playing in the U21s when he's had almost 100 games for Arsenal and was first choice for a while, it's probably difficult to take. His career has hit a bit of a crossroads, so it's probably a bit difficult for him at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe he got very ill last season and ballooned as a result of meds. Still fighting his way back to full fitness and faces an uphill battle to break into the Arsenal team.

VillaChris Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 8 hours ago, RicRic said: How on earth has he still got so much time left on his contract what kind of death row records deal did he get to start with lol He signed in Jan 2021 although it seems longer! 4 and a half year deal for guy in his mid 20s and with good reputation isn't that bizarre (we gave Marv a five year deal when he signed) but it quickly becomes a drain when Sanson can't break into the side under a couple of different managers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 Not too sure what this means, but it's a change in his status. Could Famalicao have turned down that £7m if they wanted? They may have (correctly) thought 40% of a sale to another club is worth more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sporting have just paid £7m for £24m worth of player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KMitch Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 Listening to this podcast with Dan Bardell today talking about the Villa. Good listen, talks about a lot of different Villa related stuff. One thing I found interesting is that Dan says one of his trusted sources told him that Tammy Abraham was all but signed to come back to Villa this summer before he did his ACL in the last game of the season and we've had to go back to the drawing board for another option. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two years ago he was a very exciting prospect but loads of injuries stalled that momentum. Needs to go to a Palace or Fulham and play 30 + games to get going. There is talent there but he's lost his chance at Arsenal to break through unless he's just content being a squad player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBlack Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 6 hours ago, KMitch said: Never a realistic signing for us... He's one of the top prospects in Europe right now. It's like moaning about us "not going for" Julian Alvarez before Man City when he never was interested in the first place. Need Champions League footy before we can start convincing a lot of these players to come to us. But going to Chelsea makes no sense. They have 600 players and they're not even in Europe this season, and they're run by a mentalist. I'm sure we could get him if he is willing to gi there.

Tomaszk Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 If Tammy was signed, he wasn't playing that last game he got injured in. Serie A clubs can't afford £30-50m being taken away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
