Elton Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 (edited) Smith obviously hasn’t ruled Giroud out as otherwise he could have easily said so in his PC when the reporter asked about Giroud. Agree with others though, he’s unlikely to come here if he has a more glamorous option. Maybe his other suitors won’t be prepared to pay what we are which could keep us in the running.

Ah was he the player DS was on about in his quotes from the other page? At least we're targeting that calibre of player as we'll need to sign a few of them if we're to make great strides in this league over next 18 months.

I haven’t read the quotes on the previous pages but I did watch the full press conference and the only non Villa player mentioned by name was Giroud. In fact Smith was asked if Drinkwater signing ruled out Giroud and Smith said no as we can buy him. He then went onto say he wouldn’t mention any names..

HanoiVillan Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Google Translate on that tweet, if your Spanish is as bad as mine: 'From England they report that Aston Villa, of a very good relationship with Bruges, is monitoring the negotiation between the Belgian club and San Lorenzo by Adolfo Gaich. The sale of the forward is advanced, not closed.' 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Our relationship with Bruges might not be as good if we gazump them for Gaich. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
