There’s a long way to go yet and the business they’ve done has been underwhelming at best. Trippier is the only one you’d say is proper quality. Saying that “oh well they’ve already done enough so let’s just flog them someone” is a poor cop out. Well we'll have to disagree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyblade Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Can't see how this is beneficial to Aston Villa at all. Very strange deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The idea of having 2 quality players in every position is just fairy land stuff. When players don't get regular football they will want to leave. Simple as that.

We know there's no fee for Coutinho. A lot of them are known These things may be stated as "fact" somewhere on t'internet but are they usually stated by the clubs directly in their announcements? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think it would have been bizarre if we’d have loaned him to Norwich etc but I hate that we’ve done Newcastle a favour. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah they should be treated as a pariah club, that includes any players willing to play for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Gerrard not rating him doesn’t mean we loan him out to help the cause of Newcastle. United have held on to Lingard. Arsenal have held on to Auba…It’s not a transfer fee it’s a loan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually don't rate Targett at all, and don't think he will strengthen Newcastle significally. I'm fine with it. Sending Kesler out on loan is leaving us light though. Only Ash as backup for 2 positions. Yes I know Hause, Konsa and Mings can do a makeshift job there but it's far from optimal Chambers can play right back.

He’s been a liability this season when a first team player, I doubt he would be that great after we block his move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get fees for a loan plus his wages paid - it's money into the club for a player who'd just be sitting on the bench otherwise. We have backup for Digne in Young, everything's fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made In Aston Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 I'd have done what Sheppard did to us with Milner. Pull out just before signing (I. E. The Catholic method) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
