Lee On Solent Saint

I think we all get that Villa are a bigger club than us. What I don't want to hear is our players saying that they are. He is essentially still a club employee, he is only on loan to Villa. I think he needs to realise who gave him his break in the Premier League, and who has payed his wages for the last 4/5 years. It's disrespectful to us as a club.

I think you are missing the point

Yeah they are a bigger club, but when what is essentially still a club employee comes out with that comment, he should expect a bit of shit

Unbelievable

Must be getting to the time when we pull back the curtain and see Broja or Gapko walk in behind Ralph!

Exactly. The owner having pictures taken with the new signings, saying how wonderful they are. Doubt if Tuchel is impressed

Cheeky bastards

Hah! Priceless!!

Vastly over rated in my view

That really would be taking the piss!!

Next

I don't think we are getting another attacker/striker in now. Seems like we put all our faith in doing the deal with PSV.

Agree with this. He has done well to still be able to get a move to a prem club

Aren't they both central defenders? Do we need another two?

I would doubt that he would get anywhere near what he was on at Chelsea with another club. If he is being advised that, then he needs to change agents. Surely for the good of his career he would take playing over wages?

I agree with you. He isn't the first player to have lost his way at a big club, won't be the last either. Still think he is a decent option for a club like us.

Didn't we get a similar figure for PEH?

Not sure, I thought I read between the lines on something that the club weren't too happy with his progress. Might have got that wrong though.

Do wonder if we are cutting our losses on Small in that case? If this other lad is a left back

Weird thing to say when he would be a starter for a premier league team.

Send this to Semmens, let's fuck them over on this one!

Wonder if we might look at Eddie Nketiah? Probably not going to get much of a look in at Arsenal. Although would have to be full transfer if we are already committed to AMN on loan.

Brought a tear to my eye! Haven't got this emotional about a player since MLT's testimonal game

I feel quite emotional about this transfer. Absolutely loved the guy

If you look at it the other way, when he played yesterday he may have been under the impression that he was leaving.
