HanoiVillan Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 2 hours ago, The Fun Factory said: Just been looking at our long list of recently signed goalkeepers. I didn't know that Gollini is doing so well at Atlanta and has even been capped for Italy. Perhaps we should have stuck with him?! Would have saved a lot of money and faffing about with about 5 goalkeepers since. Wasn't there an issue about him not wanting to stay without an Italian goalkeeping coach, or have I dreamed that? Anyway, he was pretty poor for us at the time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ml1dch Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 Villa legend Jose Angel Crespo only one round away from the Champions League group stages with PAOK. Time to feel a bit silly if you're Benfica. They gave Andrija Zivkovic a free transfer this summer. He joined PAOK last week and this evening he scored the winner for them to knock Benfica out. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His replacement Johnstone will never get an England cap but Gollini will win at least 20 Italian caps. One of them is famous for good goalkeepers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Off topic but Zivkovic was rated as a future superstar. Good he is showing promise eventually Bad for Benfica after spending big in summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of them is famous for good goalkeepers I don't think anybody is saying he hasn't turned into a good goalkeeper, and I'm perfectly happy to believe he's better than Johnstone. But the decision at the time was whether to persist with an unhappy player who kept making mistakes. When Bruce took over in that season, we weren't far above the relegation battle, there was a real question about how much time we could give people to start performing.

Genie Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 There was a piece I read the other day but can’t find again about players who went bankrupt. Most of them played for us. Merson, Friedel, Hendrie, Djemba-Djemba, there was another 1 or 2 that I’ve forgotten about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Sarkic gone on loan to Shrewsbury. Made a bad error for goal, need to improve a bit to become Neuer sweeper keeper! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 think has been posted before but just got around to watching this. Criticise his management as you will but a proper gentleman as usual and was probably the worst season for any Villa manager due to all the circumstances Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems a brilliant bloke. Just an awful awful awful manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea about his net worth, but he owns large parts of downtown Oslo. Also has a lot of apartments in the big European cities.
