Vive_La_Villa Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 I think this forum is generally a quite positive place but we seem to give way too much time to the odd negative poster that always finds something to complain about. It then makes the whole place seem negative when I’m reality it isn’t. Player seems worth the risk. UTV 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wanted a new contract last summer and didn't get it he played first half of last season at Roma until Mourinho said he wasn't up to playing in Serie A because he couldn't take all the fouls he got. He was booed off in a game by the fans and then put in a transfer request. The psycho Roma Ultras went to his home and he had to flee Rome. He didn't play or train again for his own safety until he could find a move in January. You have gutter scum like Mourinho and their "fans". You can't blame a player when this happens. I mean the only person who could read that post and think that it is in any way an accurate assessment of what happened would be Jose Mourinho (and maybe Mourinho's mum)!

villabromsgrove Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 I've not been on VT much today. Does Zaniolo seem more likely than not at this moment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems likely but negotiations are apparently not finalised… Dunno if it’s actually relevant but the club has changed Duran’s shirt number and freed up Nico’s favoured number, apparently… Couple of “itks” have claimed it’s done… Just have to wait and see… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jas10 Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 (edited) Just keep wondering whether he will be played up front… to compete/rotate/support Ollie too… The lad can certainly finish and run on to through balls… as demonstrated in his Roma hat trick vs Bodo Glimt… Good record at Galatasaray too… Edited August 11, 2023 by Jas10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozvilla28 Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Talent is there no doubt still untapped to I reckon. Emery is great in getting players to play for him and get the best they can be his a bit unpredictable x factor. Monchi signing without a doubt.

nnock1984 Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Personally I think this is done otherwise Emery wouldn’t have commented on it in the press conference. Potential to go very well, or not so well, but if it is a loan initially, it limits the risk unless we take an obligation to buy. I also think it’s telling that when listing the players positions, Emery said striker first - I believe this is our back-up to Ollie ladies and gents. He does seem to hold several similar qualities to Ollie from what I’ve seen in terms of control, hold up play and running at the opposition.
