TrentVilla Posted January 4, 2013 Moderator Share Posted January 4, 2013 Whenever he scored past us he always kissed his badge anyway, wtf is that all about? He feels he has an axe to grind with Villa over the treatment of his brother. Or so the story goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyClarke Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 (edited) He feels he has an axe to grind with Villa over the treatment of his brother. Or so the story goes. That doesn't make a great deal of sense though, presuming we are talking about Aaron. Villa sold Aaron on to Sheffield Wednesday at the age of 21 for £100,000 and he went on to play for the likes of Stockport County and Bristol Rovers. He went on to achieve 300 or so appearances but never looked like stepping up to top level, therefore vindicating the decision made by Villa to sell him. Seems like a pretty standard story of a lower league player and something that was fair on all concerned. There could be something else that went on, but certainly in terms of the opportunities that Villa gave him and the way they let him go for a minimal fee, there doesn't seem too much for him to complain about.

markavfc40 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 (edited) zat knight is a boyhood supporter as well, look how that turned out Pretty well I'd say. We signed him for 3.5 mill, he gave us 2 good years, never gave less than 100% and we then sold him for 4 mill.

Zatman Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 would have said definite no to this until i saw lambert interview today when he had a little smirk when mentioned his name and then went into Arry mode calling him a top top player. am sure was similar reaction 2 years ago when Bent rumour 1st turned up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxy1 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Come back to earth....not going to happen. Financially, it is impossible. By that logic surely no-one would ever leave City. City would subsidise it just as they did with Adebayor and others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 yeah lots of teams subsidise wages. even Liverpool are paying more than half of Joe Cole salary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LockStockVilla Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 How do people think we got Shay Given. He did not take a straight pay cut, that's for sure... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CI Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 I have some inside info. Professional footballers don't take +50% paycuts to go play for a team they supported as a child especially when they are still a first team regular with the reigning champions. It's just delusional to think this has any legs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Professional footballers don't take +50% paycuts to go play for a team they supported as a child especially when they are still a first team regular with the reigning champions. It's just delusional to think this has any legs. Firstly, he isnt a regular for City any more. Kompany and Nastasic are the CB pairing. Secondly, as stated by posters above, City regularly subsidise players wages when they sell them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
