stewiek2 Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Going to the Saudi league will destroy his international career. There is no way he will get picked by France playing in a non-competitive league. Every player joining that league so far has either retired from international duty or in their twilight internationally ( unless SOuthgate is manager of the national team, then he'll continue to pick Henderson like the eejit continues to pick a non-starting Maguire). Just like Oscar destroyed his career moving from Chelsea to us. If he wants to advance his career, Villa is his choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s utterly unfair to compare him to Bailey, especially that Bailey picked up injuries here through no fault of his own. That’s football sometimes. Either way, we’ve seen how Bailey and Diaby partner up and if we can replicate that we are going to be lightning to watch. Yep. If Bailey can get fit and trust in his pace again I wouldn't be totally surprised to see Bailey win more starts than him either. It's just Bailey without his pace is a one trick pony who can only cut inside whereas when he's fit he can just explode down the wing and get to the byline for a cutback.

It's been reported we have like 150-200 million to spend. We definitely do need to shift players. But we have enough for another RB and another 10/CF/Winger. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not possible to even get close. I'm not sure what's so complicated for people, we agreed personal terms with him and took a while to agree a fee with Leverkusen. Al nassir also agreed a contract with him and were in the process of agreeing a fee with Leverkusen but in the end it looks like he has chosen to move to us. Ask what's so complicated and goes on to offer complicated, opaque explanation of matters with zero sourcing ... haha (But I agree, if it's agreed, well, the complications end.)

Oh great. I'll be 74. Something to look forward to when i'm in a care home. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we have enough for another RB and another 10/CF/Winger. We need a sub keeper too, as a matter of some urgency. Last season has proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that Olsen can't be trusted to play another 90 mins in a serious game for us, and we just lost two backups in Steer (permanent) and Sinisalo (loan). We don't have enough in that dept to get through a full season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
