Nessie was one of many childhood obsessions, but have yet to actually travel to the Loch Ness/Inverness area. It is high on the list though, hopefully on a trip also containing a nice matchday experience at Villa Park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nessie would be a good replacement for Keinan Davis, will score obviously but can also play deep. Hope we sign JWP. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loch Ness is great but not the easiest Loch to actually get right down to the water’s edge. I can give you a few pointers if/when you get your trip planned. There’s a good pub at Dores that actually over looks Loch Ness. A few beers while talking about the Villa, what could be better? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duly noted, mate. I'll be sure to remember that, nothing better than getting insight from a local when going to a new area. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope we sign JWP. Nice one! A player like JWP does make sense in the Villa context, and a closer look does make JWP even more tempting. I find it comforting that we at least seem to have identified the type of player we want, even if JWP should prove to be more legend than reality as a Villan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt we would ever leave though, so when you’re ready we’ll be around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, sadly I thing its just gossip, hope we're wrong it comes true and we sign him, he would be a valuable asset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villabromsgrove Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 I found JWP languishing on the second page of current threads. Quite right you might say as there hasn't been one concrete link between him and Villa, to which I say "Why the hell not?" We need a central midfielder with attitude, aggression, leadership, intelligence, and the sheer ability to run further and press harder than anyone else for 90 minutes. It also helps if this player has proven that he can play every game of a 38 game Premier season! Team captain material who leads by example. Did I mention that he's also one of the best set piece takers in the world? We've bought Emi Buendia. we've bought Ashley Young, now let's buy the player that Villa have been missing since we returned to the Premier League. Make an offer Southampton can't refuse and watch the goals and assists figures climb next season. Grealish, Buendia, Young, Ward Prowse .... I'm looking at you! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everton making noises about him being a target for them now, too. Defo not buying the line that he’s unavailable for the right price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lexicon Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 I think this one is dead tbh. I think we are/were interested but Southampton have no intention of selling him for anything less than silly money.

Jareth Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 My view is that we're probably in for him, given how surprising some of these links have been that have then been validated by decent journos or happened (ESR, Young) - this one won't happen fast I expect (for reasons we've all stated) hence why we've done other business already.

sne Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Isn't Nessie already at Arsenal, or is that a relative? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciggiesnbeer Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Hard pass on Nessie for Villa. Too much of a dinosaur , goes missing for long periods and has really difficult housing needs. Feels more like a Newcastle signing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
