villaglint Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Seems odd to mention Traore and Chambers by name unless something was close to happening. Maybe reading too much into it but not great for them to be specifically name checked (or advertised!) by a manager in a press conference if there is no clubs currently in for them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avfc1982am Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 TBF to Chambers he's been providing nothing but cover long enough, he could go into selling tarps, waterproofs and even become a roofer. It's not all bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not all bad. Feel sorry for Chambers. I think he's easily good enough for a mid to lower PL team or a top Championship team. He does get slagging when he comes in but shouldn't really be judged on long interval sporadic showings. He's had a few excellent performances since he's been here, but just isn't up to the standard we are now at imo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Assuming Chambers and Troare will be off and we might get some in to replace. He’s not going to give a lot away in these press conferences either. But curious all the same - assuming deals are close or they’ve been told they can leave or requested such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not getting game time at City and wants to make the Euro squad in the summer. So Villa would be getting a very good hungry player in a position which currently has a massive drop in quality when Kamara is missing. I’d also suggest, when up to speed, he would indeed challenge Kamara as first choice DM and would get plenty of game time with Villa. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 We're not signing Phillips, he's not good enough to get in our team ahead of Kamara or Luiz, and he's not going to leave Man City bench, just to sit on the bench of another team, he will want to go somwhere where he gets a guarantee of first team football. Also we won't be signing a midfielder at all unless Dendoncker leaves, Emery said today no players coming in without one going out. And the sale of Chambers and Traore if they happen, won't lead to first team players for this season, so it's not like letting even one of them go will allow us to bring in a big name for the squad, Emery said their replacements if they happen won't be relevant yet, as I said, by which I think he means young project players. CC and BT were on the outer limits of the squad, so don't need replacing with players that are going to come straight into the team, or even be second choice, so younger options are the logical replacements for them, I guess similar profile to Duran as he was when we first signed him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up to speed would require compensating his form for the past two years, where he has played little or nothing at all. Even more, it would require for him to have a fire to WANT to regain that form. I've seen the few games he played at City and he sucked in 100% of them, and the last thing it seemed is that he was hungry to challenge any of his companion's positions. So, even if he were to seriously reduce his pretended wages (I doubt that), I'd rather Villa avoided him. Also, I doubt he'd be able to challenge Kamara at all: City is worse whenever he plays, Villa is worse whenever Kamara doesn't play. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We might be interested if Luiz was sold (for an insane sum). Dont think that would be January business though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burchy Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Out of all of our current 1st eleven Luiz and Kamara IMHO are unsellable, FFP or not. They are what makes us tick. We should be getter cover in for both them, not thinking of selling them, which I don’t think the club are going to do, it’s just with all this talk of FFP restraints, they might be tempted. We don't have to spend a fortune to improve the team though, there are bargains to be had, even in January. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand the ffp/financial accounting benefits but Luiz is such a cog for us it would be hard to take to lose him. I trust Emery, I just hate the ffp rules that are unfair to non-traditional top six clubs and impact teams like us and Newcastle who are beating some of that top 6 but are being thwarted by these rules. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly don't think he's anywhere near mid prem standard, especially with the lack of game time. For example, if he'd started against Boro I would have been nervous. Think a promotion chasing championship team might be a good next step if he can find one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely don't want this to happen but realistically who's got £120 million to spend without breaking FFP? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
