    Do you apply the same reasoning to Tim Iroegbunam, Ross Wilson, Ewan Simpson, Louie Barry et al? Players make the decision they believe is best for them for their career. Chuk has signed a 6 year contract at Chelsea. He is made for life. He is not a moron as you said, he is doing the right thing for himself and his family
  2. Peter Griffin
    Its not sympathies for young player, it simply understanding the decision making as opposed to thinking they are morons. As you say, life is tough for non-league players and Chuk has the intelligence to see this and he has decided to cash in on his potential and secure himself financially for life. A very sensible thing to do and very far from being a moron

    Maybe I didn't get my pint across well, went for early pints and home with a Chinese. The point I was 'trying' to make was that there are lots of players out there that are exciting young players and we can (and do) sign them, we don't have to pay 20m+ for them. Every transfer window we sign a few really good prospects and that is why we have such a good group coming through. If Liverpool want to buy JJ, then fine, we should sell him and use the money to improve our first team. He would have to be 40m/50m+. If we sell JJ, we can buy a really good replacement CB and a CAM. Brilliant business for Villa

    Bissosuma, Cucurella, Richarlison, Sarr, Zaha, Eze etc
  5. Peter Griffin
    I read he was on 70k a week
  6. Peter Griffin
    And VT want him dropped and want us to get a replacement in. If we have young players we think will make it to the top they have to play games.

    Alverez: because he was going to a bigger team than Villa Cucurella: We have Digne and we don't have 62m to recruit a backup LB Bednarek: We haven't bought him, I appreciate there is media saying we are interested but if we believe everything we read we would have a squad size of about 120 players Not picking up the best talent: Have u heard we signed Kamara on a free?

    Do you understand that there is risk and uncertainty in becoming a successful professional footballer. He is 18 years old and there are many things that could happen to end his career as a footballer. He has got a transfer to a club that will make him financially secure for life. Also, he is joining a team that has a proven track record of either bringing the best young players into their first team or getting them big money transfers to big club. He must be a real moron

    You wouldn't make much of a conspiracy theorist

    I can't see them paying all his wages. When Ozil was there he was on 1.7m Euro a year. Traore would need to be on about double their highest paid player in order to cover his wages.
  11. Peter Griffin
    Will u stop sitting on the fence and tell us what you really think
  12. Peter Griffin
    It is great to get some of his wages off the books but I would have hoped for a different league to Turkey. Even if he has a blistering season with them there is so little money in Turkish football I can't see this turning into a permanent transfer for the fee we would presumably want. At least it would get him game time and put him in the shop window
  13. Peter Griffin
    Looks like Casemiro is off to United. He is the DM they need. Brilliant signing but 60m+ for a 30 year old and no doubt hefty wages is expensive Edit: Thought I was on a different thread
  14. Peter Griffin
    That's a really important point, it would make his transition into our team much quicker
  15. Peter Griffin
    I agree with that sentiment, I just don't believe we have seen enough of Gerrard to make the decision to go through the pain now.
  16. Peter Griffin
    I had forgotten about that, I can't even remember what he said but I remember thinking it was a stupid thing to say.
  17. Peter Griffin
    He went to Napoli but that didn't work out too well. I don't think Gerrard rates him, if he did rate him I think he would have given him more of a chance at Villa. I would be very very surprised if we saw him back
  18. Peter Griffin
    Absolutely, I think we can finish top 8. I would be confident of finishing 8th with Poch or Potter, I am less so with Gerrard but that doesn't mean he can't do it, I need to see more games from Gerrard to make an informed decision on whether he can do it or not. The next 2 months will tell us an awful lot.
  19. Peter Griffin
    And if Gerrard wasn't in charge would be be in the hunt for 8th?
  20. Peter Griffin
    I don't think Forest will finish 2nd, they need a little more experience in PL but with their spent it has to be top 4, anything else would be unacceptable. But, I think the wheels are coming off at Forest. They have had a very exciting window but they haven't signed anyone in the last 12 hours and I think it is very clear their owner has lost interest in them.
  21. Peter Griffin
    Is 7/10 including Carlos are taking into account his injury?
  22. Peter Griffin
    I think finishing 8th will be close between 3 teams, it will come down to the last 2 or 3 game weeks. I believe that we will be in the hunt as one of those teams looking to finish 8th. I think we have as good a chance as any of the other teams fighting for 8th and that we will finish top half. Wether that is 8th, 9th or 10th will depend on lots of things and a bit of good fortune
  23. Peter Griffin
    Yeah, that amuses me too. The anti Gerrard cohort have to say the team is good enough and we don't need signings and its down to coaching and the anti anything cohort have to try and say NSWE have lost interest in Villa. If we have a bad season it will be 'I told u so' and if we have a good season it will be 'It was lucky Gerrard drove Beale out of the club and we accidentally got Critchley in to save us as NSWE and Gerrard messed up in the summer.
  24. Peter Griffin
    So do u think our team is not good enough for top 8?
  25. Peter Griffin
    Isn;t it great to see our club being clever with their spend and keeping sustainable. When u think where we were 3 years ago and now we can compete in the PL where just about everyone agrees we have a top half team and we have the 5th lowest spend. Some smart people at Villa
