Popular Post villa4europe Posted January 31, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 31, 2020 (edited) So the guy we signed as 3rd choice this season 4th choice next season isn't a world beater I for one am gobsmacked We needed a body we got a body is what it is, I'd rather he was younger that's about it Edited January 31, 2020 by villa4europe 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_eristic Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Think he'll be perfectly fine for what's he been brought in for, if he outperforms expectations all the better. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a window where so many teams were after a striker Manchester United have signed Odion Ighalo. Who do you suggest we should have signed? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post MaVilla Posted January 31, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 31, 2020 to be honest, paying ZILCH for a striker with a 1 in 3 record (even including a few barren seasons at Swansea), who had previously scored 18 in a season in La Liga, who granted hasnt done so well since joining Swansea for 15.5m, who may or may not rediscover some form......and is effectively a backup. Is a seriously good piece of businesses.......seriously good imo. we literally cant lose in this transfer i dont think, if he does well, we can extend his contract and keep him, and he may even help us stay up, if he doesnt do well, he gets released at the end of the season, and we dont have a weight around our necks if god forbid we do get relegated. (or we stay up but he still doesnt perform) He starts effectively 3rd choice?, so either we have an injury disaster, or he does so well he earns his spot, all sounds good to me. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maqroll Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Hopefully he doesn't miss a sitter in his debut like Samatta.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwivillan Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 All that time we wanted Dean Ashton and David Villa up front we should've been looking at Baston Villa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 I watched him a few times earlier this season for Swansea in the championship and was impressed enough to look him up to find out a bit more about him... have only just realised it's the same player we signed today... He actually looked a very decent, drops deep and links up well with those around him, has a good first touch and good vision. Not expecting miracles, but think he might surpise a few and score a few vital goals for us coming off the bench. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zab6359 Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 Pretty uninspiring very much another 'one eye on the Championship type' signing which is sensible in our position. Beggars can't be choosers and all that. Surely signed in case it all goes pear shaped with injuries. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Five Ken McNaughts Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 So we now have Bjorn, Borja and Orjan... Can't believe we weren't in for Bojan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
