vandaq Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 hopefully he is like yaya toure. Any chance of happening? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa89 Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Bannan has been doing very well and is the kind of player that is the future of football. Sylla is the player for a role that is becoming extinct (Man Utd, Man City, Chelsea, Everton, Tottenham, Arsenal, Swansea - no regular specialist defensive mid). Edit: except Ramires for Chelsea. This Sylla boy will be useful for us, especially right now in a relegation fight, but unless he can demonstrate an ability to pass and shoot like Dembele he will be rotated with a more offensive player when the occasion demands. The future of football. Jesus you must be sleeping with him or something. He's shite. I know absolutely nothing about Sylla and have never seen him play but I am 100% certain that he's better than at least half the midfielders we have at the club. Get him in the team for everton and see if he's the saviour that can keep us up!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Burgundy Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Has he got his nosed pierced in the officil AVFC photos? either that or hes got a massive zit on his konk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shillzz Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Quietly optimistic about Sylla. If we can get a midfield of Sylla, Westwood and Stephens together, with them all being of similar ability, then that'll be a good base to build on for the future.

Banger75 Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 I'm looking forward to seeing him in action. Has all the attributes from what we've heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob182 Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 He's good at keepy-uppy! This is all I know about him, from the video on AVTV. Ptth... I'd like to see Diame's attempt at keeping the ball up like God-Sylla!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaAndLoyal Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Yacouba certainly has the attributes we were after in midfield so I'm trying to be quietly optimistic about this signing. Given the above, there's a good chance he will improve our midfield. I've said for a long time we need an athletic, tough-tackling player in the centre and by all accounts he fits that bill.

Con Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 (edited) Quietly optimistic about Sylla. If we can get a midfield of Sylla, Westwood and Stephens together, with them all being of similar ability, then that'll be a good base to build on for the future. I don't think Stephens wants to come unless he gets the money he wants which is more than we want to pay him. Gary Gardner might be fit next year and Stephens won't want to have his career stall on the Villa bench. Edited February 1, 2013 by Con Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brummybloke Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 not saying Sylla's gonna be mint coz ive never heard of him either but does anyone remember that young kid we signed who never went on to do anything in his career here or elsewhere that graham taylor took a punt on even though he played for some shit part time club on trinidad somewhere. Talk about a nowhere club in a nowhere league. Hadnt even scouted him just saw him play against us in a friendly I believe. Nightmare. Never played in a top league and he was like 15 or something!! what a stupid idea that was. much rather we signed players with prem league experience like Djemba Djemba - Beye - Heskey - Warnock - Hutton - Shorey - Jenas - Ireland......zzzzzzzzzz you are aware when graham taylor signed him he did not do anything of any note for the next 5 years? and that at that time you could still grab decent players such as david platt from lower leagues?

VILLAMARV Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 you are aware when graham taylor signed him he did not do anything of any note for the next 5 years? and that at that time you could still grab decent players such as david platt from lower leagues? yeah, just making the point (albeit sarcastically) that it doesn't really matter where they come from. aimed at those saying sylla must be crap coz i don't know the club we've bought him off. Mark Delaney played for Carmarthen Town for instance and I doubt many feel he was a bad signing or not good enough even though he spent less than a season at Cardiff before we snapped him up. I'm sure League deux is of higher standard than the league of wales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilentMajority Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Nice to see page 19 contains a lotta lotta love for Sylla! Dont know if he is going to be any good.... but looks the part, so bloody hope so! And yes, Fellaini's (and evertons) introduction into the Prem could be very interesting...

Villarocker Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 If this guy is going to be the hard tackling battler we need in the middle of the park, surely he needs an appropriate song in his honour? Yacouba, woh oh, Yacouba, woh oh. He came from Clermont Foot, To kick your **** butt! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yacouba, woh oh, Yacouba, woh oh. He came from Clermont Foot, To kick your **** butt! I think the much simpler, "Sylla, Sylla, Sylllaaaaaaaaa" a la Villa chant is more fitting. I'm not the only one that thinks/hopes he makes his debut tomorrow? Reckon Lambert will chuck him straight in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have little games to go on and everton is a perfect match for him to start really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
