NASTY_LEE Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Do you think he'll give us a 99% update or will we need to wait for the deal to be done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the difference between a self-made man and someone with a staple 10 hours a night. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He basically said it is 100% done. The player himself is determined to join Villa, and medical is no problem. So should expect an OA tomorrow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is there will always be a two bit Premier League club who we used to look down on that such players would rather sign for than drop into The Championship. We feed off scraps now. The fact is Watford mean more to a professional footballer than we do. It's horrible and crushing but that's the way it is.

villanwesty88 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 I'm happier with incoming players who are making a step up to join us rather than a step down. Jagielka has obviously had a good career and large portion of it in the Premier League. I would rather us sign the players who are hungry to achieve, happy to sign and have it all in front of them. There is a place for more experienced pros but we have to be careful - we wouldn't want another Lescott type player joining. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would not take the Westwoods and Bennett's of this world over seasoned professionals. Obviously there are extremes either side but on the whole I'm happy with tried and trusted over gambling on players again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jagielka has always seemed like a decent guy and can only remember the England thing recently when he went drinking Lescott on other hand always came across as a clearing in the woods 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking a player like Hourihane who has proven himself at the level we find ourselves and will make a step up to join us. So in a sense Hourihane is tried and trusted. I'm not talking about signing complete gambles, I'm talking about us getting players from lesser clubs at either CH or LG1 level or PL reserves who would be making a step up to play first team football for us.

Ermmm sorry, yes of course you would,... Sorry bad example Not sure if you replied to the wrong person there? Anyway - Defoe. Of course it would've been a good signing. I was saying I'd prefer the up and coming players who really want to be here - doesn't mean they've barely played football. Hourihane has proved it at the level we are playing. Players like him are the kind I want to see us getting in. For every Defoe there is a Ricky Lambert and an Emmanuel Adebayor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
