It's Your Round Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 Decent signing, let’s hope he settles well and doesn’t get injured straight away. I think we’re intrigued to see how he will fit in along with Mings, Konsa and Carlos. We have amazing strength in depth there now. I trust Unai to keep them all happy.

Pau looks damn good in it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we'll be talking about this guy in 20 - 30 years - Martin Laursen level signing (but without the injury backstory). If we can make him feel part of the Villa family then he will give us everything. Just makes me think that we've got someone here who will give us his all and play with passion and desire rather than just someone who watches their bank account grow. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villarocker Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 Clearly, it was a strain for him to leave his home country - that makes sense. He's a young man and so it will be a tough thing to do. Thankfully, we have so much to remind him of home - Villa, to remind him of his home and the last club he played for. Numerous players speaking the same language. Tapas bars to eat at. His management team are familiar to him. He will soon settle down, especially when he goes home to that beautiful wife of his every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 Maybe he has Pau on the back of the shirt because we are getting another Torres? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheer up and be happy with the players pulling it on! I don't think Galway is being overly negative, I can't look at the strip without the first thought being it is hideous!! In saying that welcome Pau, hopefully his performances in that monstrosity will make me care less about the shirt and more about who is wearing it...

Popular Post Zatman Posted July 12, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 12, 2023 2 hours ago, GlobalVillan said: I'll be honest, I'm slightly concerned about that leaving video Never seen a player so attached to a club before. Literally in tears (and not just about the guy who passed away). I hope we haven't got a Shaun Moloney type who struggles away from his home. I'm sure the other Spanish speaking players and staff will put an arm around him buy I hope he doesn't miss Villareal so much that it affects ts his performances. Its not a major worry, just a slight niggle in the back of my head for an otherwise excellent signing. He is a hometown player leaving for the first time from a club he grew up at. I expect if we had a homegrown boyhood fan captain he would react in a similar way when he left..............oh wait 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBlack Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 2 hours ago, BOF said: I don't think the post is negative, in fairness to GV. I can see where he's coming from. I also don't expect the transfer will affect Pau's performances, but boy does he clearly have Villareal in his heart. Which is what you'd expect. That's all. I've also never seen a leaving video like that one. However, I think the emotion is more because this is his first move away. We're ripping the band-aid off. He'll be fine. 2 hours ago, GlobalVillan said: I knew we were signing him around 2 months ago as @JAMAICAN-VILLANwill attest to. I have no concerns about his ability, just noticed that he seemed very upset about leaving. See my post on the very same topic and how to view it positively... 4 hours ago, MrBlack said: Explains why he wasn't smiling with delight in the airport on the way here. Clearly a huge decision for him and one he would absolutely only have made if he was certain it was the right thing to do. Doesn't mean there won't be some sadness to go with it. But does mean he's going to give everything to make sure and prove to himself this was the right decision. Welcome Pau, we'll make sure you have a new home to be proud of, and a claret and blue tinged heart to join your yellow one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
