Isn't he about as much use as a chocolate fire guard? 2.5m for a chocolate fire guard is pretty high I would say.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are lucky to get anything for him. They can’t handle his wages. Probably would have let him leave on a free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post wilko154 Posted July 6, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 6, 2019 Personally not panicking yet in this transfer window. As people have mentioned Purslow, Suso and Smith are going to have to be pretty cautious with how they finish off building the squad financially. It’s a bit of a jigsaw puzzle with the £60-90 million we are estimating we have left to spend. I have full faith that we are working to get players in that we have identified or moving onto the next target when we are priced out or being taken for a ride. A lot has been made of Mings not signing yet, but if they are overpricing him then I fully expect the board to work to do what works for Aston Villa FC. Overpaying for players isn’t something we should be doing at the beginning of July. Pre-season has only just begun, and with most of the squad still on holiday due to internationals the urgency isn’t currently there. You could argue that the USA tour is of little importance, new signings will settle quicker being in Birmingham organising their personal lives and getting to know BMH rather than being rushed over the pond for a exhibition game. The prices of players has gotten stupid this season; realistically it’s the worst time for it to happen, we need to bring in 10-12 players in various positions to be competitive next season. This means the board have to get it right this season. If we can achieve a comfortable finish next season we can then spend the summer picking and choosing players to really strengthen, just as teams around us are now doing. The odd £20-30 million player to strengthen an already competitive squad no longer hurts PL teams, however with the work we have it’s a daunting task currenly. Don't forget we still have the chance to offload a couple of players, Kalinic, Nyland, Bjarnasson, Lansbury & Tshibola are all fringe players with potential to add to the transfer budget. I would also expect to see a few incomings for cheap ala Jota/Hause, possibly some freebies and some loans with options to buy. No need to panic yet. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can’t blame the manager for a player not being fit enough. Of course you can. We don't know the precise particulars, but it is literally the managers job to ensure the players are fit enough? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway in this case many fans blame Sherwood for Veretout not performing for us and I disagree with this. Especially if Sherwood wasn’t involved in his signing. He played, he wasn’t fit enough so he was dropped. He was a poor signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoilers : even McCormack and Albert are going on frees. He’s an experienced Premier League workhorse with over 100 appearances in that league. He’s far from prolific, even for a wide player, but for a fairly reliable Premier League squad player, £2.5m is what I would consider a bargain. Some people in this thread have tried to make out that £20m for a Championship player with no Prem experience is ‘cheap’, so I’m just providing some balance.

Obviously he’s worth more than 2.5 million. Palace have got a bargain squad player but I bet his wages are still high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
