Hope I'm wrong and Gauci is coming in as number 2, but I've just got a cut feeling Emi could be the FFP forced exit. No 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MWARLEY2 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Emi doesnt get sold. Under any circumstances. Gauci has been playing league 1/2 level football. So has Sinisalo who is also an international. Gauci has big potential but will still have loads to learn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thabucks Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Here’s hoping a Turkish team comes in for Olsen and poss Chambers before their window slams shut … Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLDVILLAIN Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Chambers has a cushy number on the bench and is paid very well...i cannot see him going anywhere or see any club wanting him unless we subsidise his wages hugely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is literally the best and most famous goalkeeper in the world. If we sell him, I expect us to get minimum £75m and I doubt anyone would pay that. Teams don't have that money in general.

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. West Ham are 0-1-1 since Kalvin Phillips' arrival (check out Bournemouth's goal, lol). Just sayin'. Edited February 5 by Daulmakan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wellington Phoenix club legend is still Paul Ifill from years ago. I've posted elsewhere not followed Adelaide this season as only really check Phoenix results but they're 8th in 12 team league and conceded 28 goals in 15 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villa have done some truly strange business over the years, but replacing the best goalkeeper in the world with an unproven 23-year-old from the Australian league would really take the biscuit. Hell no. Edited February 5 by est1874 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The a league is a garbage league even by regional standards. A league is weaker than the j league, k league, Saudi league (before the big money) and even arguably the Chinese league. There is no way Gauci is ready to be a PL starter, he hasn't even been able to push Mat Ryan (from AZ Alkmaar) out of the number 1 spot in the national team. (I say this even with my Adelaide fan tinted glasses on) I'm thrilled he's joining Villa but he's not replacing emi any time soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
