Generally the key players who move on from Celtic do very well (Wanyama, Van Dijk, Tierney and Moussa Dembele at Lyon). Would rather him than Morelos who was terrible yesterday. He is a player I like and he is definitely better than Morelos. Celtic have unearthed some gems that have moved south, it always surprises me no English club has taken on a Scottish club as a testing ground for overseas players. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure there must be but I really can’t remember the last one? Even more so when the player concerned has a connection with the club that want to re-sign him? Don't forget about when Steve Bruce chased Joe Bryan down the motorway from The Belfry... 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And let’s be realistic no way would Man C activate the clause only to sell him on for a £10m-£15m gain, only to strengthen a competitor like Arsenal etc. Edited August 17, 2020 by rayk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not saying we did or didn’t I’m just saying I’m not sure there is a basis to say we should/could have done more this summer to keep him. We didn't lose him in the summer, we lost him in January. He was recalled because we had Steer and Heaton injured, and needed cover. He was getting 1st team games out on loan, and playing well, so to be recalled, he would be expecting some game time. We then sign Reina, and he never gets a place on the bench. I his shoes, i'd be pissed off too. Should not have recalled him from loan. Feels like a Gary Cahill in the making, this one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted August 17, 2020 Moderator Share Posted August 17, 2020 Interesting to see us linked to Sisto today, turned us down last summer and you would think well known to Lange. Could be an option for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has potential to be a top class keeper, more potential than Cahill had when he left. I'm massively disappointed in Villa that they effectively let him go by recalling him. Hope i'm wrong.

He has talent but he also has issues, Struggled with depression, missed a lot of training sessions at Celta and got fined £60k for breaching quarantine rules driving to Denmark. If he is available for the €4m that the papers say then he'd be an upgrade on Jota with potential that is much higher if his head is in the right place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AntrimBlack Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 I was disappointed that Sarkic left, but the management/coaching team must have formed an opinion that he was not going to be good enough, and we have to trust them in that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve not seen him play but I just don’t think the point re Cahill is justified given Cahill had proven himself capable in the PL and whatever his potential he hasn’t yet made an appearance.

VillaChris Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Sisto was pretty good up to start of 2019. Badly lost his way in last 18 months and hardly did anything last season at Celta for reasons stated above. 2 goals in La Liga last season (got 6 in 17/18). Not sure he'd be much of an upgrade on El Ghazi. Looking more and more likely we're getting pretty desperate for Rashica to say yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
