jacketspuds Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 I can't believe Hull would let Bowen leave for £3m rising to £15m if Leeds get promoted. They might as well keep him and sell him in the summer. If however the deal is potentially true, we should absolutely be moving in with a similar offer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure his contract runs out in the summer but there is an option to add a year. Just sounds like a strange way to construct an offer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would Hull sell their best player (by a mile) halfway through the season, when they are only 3 points of the playoff places? They will get at least 18 million in the summer with no downside. Also, why would bowen go to another championship team when there is probably a queue of Premier league teams interested?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okonokos Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Merson is just a drama queen who loves making dramatic statements for effect. He talks utter crap. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HanoiVillan Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Of course Merson is wrong that teams only play a back three because their centre backs aren't good enough. People have posted plenty of examples of great back threes. However, in the specific case of Aston Villa 2019/20, I think he's exactly right that that's why we are playing a back three. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were 12 points clear earlier in the season and are now down to 6. Could be history repeating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we are playing a back 3 as protection as our midfield and full backs are weak 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
