Talldarkandransome Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 I did have a chuckle when it bounced off him and went in. Celebrated like he'd scored a worldy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 Said it before but it's pretty clear he cares primarily about his "brand" above everything else. I don't know if he was always like that or if the fame got to his head but either way it's pretty sad to see. Yes all the elite players get involved with that stuff to an extent but he's gone way OTT with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferguson1 Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 (edited) I actually think we’ve done very well out of the deal. Yes, he’ll be part of a winning team and win plenty of trophies over his contract. He’ll also earn mega money in the process. However, I honestly don’t think he’ll shine consistently and be considered a “great” for them. He’s now just a cog in a well oiled machine. £100m was always an obscene amount.

It doesn't exactly show him in a good light and will make most people who seemed to like him in the summer think he looks a bit of an arrogant prick. I kind of get that it gets his name out there but its hardly a Gazza like celebration. I think @villa4europe means It will be his personal celebration on the next FIFA game on PlayStation or Xbox, and cement his brand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least we dont have to keep seeing all that anymore. They got their way in the end, like always, like we knew they would. D1ckheads Nobody got in his head. He wanted to leave when Spurs were in for him and again last year when it was United. He and his family orchestrated this move for nothing more than money and fame. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly that Its a pose that he'll attach to his brand and try and get kids up and down the country imitating on the playground Its not aimed at me a 37 year old villa fan in a hope that I take offence to him We have a few that are starting to sound like jilted lovers 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dubbs Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 Watching the highlights last night I saw several occasions where he's offered himself for the ball and didn't get it. At Villa everything went through him and its something he'll have to get used to. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Made In Aston Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 He gives me the impression that, in 12 months, if not already, he will have forgotten he even supports villa or played for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s be honest, he was never going to play on the biggest stage in CL with Villa. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
