TrinityRoadSteps Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Dutch manager in being linked with Dutch player shocker... It's almost as though the papers just look for tenuous links to make their BS more believable. They wouldn't do that would they ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romavillan Posted September 13, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted September 13, 2014 I want him to stay, but practically if we could get 5m + for him wouldn't we be more than doubling our money? On a purely financial level if we did that with 2 or 3 players each year then our trnsfer budget would be nicely supplimented just by profit on players. If that gives us the money for Lambert to sign another Vlaar, Benteke, Westwood... then so much the better. That said, it's probably a load of knackers and Leandro will be useful for us as can cover a lot of positions and has a great free kick on him.

He'd be getting more than 5x what we paid for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romavillan Posted September 13, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted September 13, 2014 There you go then, do that twice a year with players you've bought for around 1m and you have the same amount as what we paid for Benteke and some change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lapal_fan Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Not intelligent enough for me. As a wing-back, if we're playing against a defensive team then fair enough, but if they're attacking us down the wings he struggles. I'd sell him for £5/6m, he's a premiership player now you know, and he scored some important goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd sell him for £5/6m, he's a premiership player now you know, and he scored some important goals. As one of the teams that finished in the bottom five last year, I'd love to know who is buying our unwanted players for £6 million. There are players getting in our team that wouldn't fetch that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanBalaban Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 He'll get game time through injuries and suspensions. It's called having a squad, and he's versatile enough to play in many positions. Up to him whether he plays well enough to keep his place when he gets his chance again.

rodders0223 Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Should be starting. No he shouldn't. He can take a decent free kick and this is about it. He has a truly appalling first touch and very little if any intelligence to play in either defence or the middle of the pitch unfortunately. He may make a career from playing right wing somewhere. Still, he cost £800k and is an option to have. Some of the rave reviews he was getting on here the end of the last season were bizarre, there was even talk of him getting a call up for the world cup.

Because he scored a few goals and because he wasn't as easily bullied as Lowton. Positioning-wise he was almost as bad as Lowton. He's a good RB cover, though, and hopefully could prove to play in central midfield. If not then he can always get loaned back to his previous team or something.

villan_007 Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 A brilliant example of the utter horse dump that is posted by villa fans on here. Doesn't start any games so far = get rid, just takes free kicks. Shocking arm chair cack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCJonah Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Good squad player but not a regular started for me. His physical attributes don't make up for the lack of technical ability he has. Great player to have as cover and bring on in games though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshVilla Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Football is a squad game and he is a squad player We paid 800k for him and i doubt he's going to kick up a stink about being on the bench especially considering we plucked him from obscurity in the dutch division Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Can't see him getting a sniff this season at all. He came on Saturday so it's hardly like being frozen out. All it will take is Hutton suspended or picking up an injury and he'll be in the team. He could probably do a similar job to what Richardson is doing currently in midfield if Rico is needed at left back so I expect him to start games before too long.

Funny that because I want him starting RW. He can get forward but having played RB also knows how to help out Hutton when we don't have the ball. Wouldn't mind Zog there either but he seems to have started slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
