Villa Players on International Duty - Covid impacts

[cdbearsfan]

Steer was second choice for the vast majority of last season.

Only because Heatons injury. Otherwise he would have been forgotten about.

He's a good keeper and has been professional but I think we all know he isn't high level Premiership standard

[Demitri_C]

Its in Argentinas best interests to comply on the agreement we made. If they dont then they wont be released for future games simple.

Compromise is key. Of there is none then thats when you start having club v country row. It was good of villa to let them go although i didnt like it, but Argentina have to show the paying club respect on a agreement made.

By people with the memory of a goldfish perhaps.

A little harsh on the goldfish there Drummond.

Villa have to enforce the original agreement of 2 games only. They were allowed to travel on that basis. Both players were aware of the agreement even though Villa, initially said they couldn't go.

A Villa First policy should be implemented

Definitely...otherwise sign players that don't play international football...that will work a treat

You miss the point....2 games were agreed. Ok, let them bloody well miss the Everton game!!

Emi Buendia didn't even make the bench for Argentina. Royally taking the piss.

Infuriating

Basically paying players to have a Holiday when we have very important tough fixtures coming up.

We need to stop being a soft touch and look after our own  interests. We're up against it with Injuries and Covid 19 without the added stress of this nonsense

[lovejoy]

The fault here is with the authorities, there needs to be a consistent policy which applies to all, to maintain a level playing field. Equally we knew these guys were Argentinian internationals when we signed them so were likely to be away , this shouldn't be a surprise.

[sickbeggar]

So in conclusion Buendia has gone on a jolly where he's not even going to play, while Nakamba who we could quite happily let go on a 6 month tournament agrees to stay? Only joking Marvelous, fairplay. Catch22 really. You can avoid international players but as soon as they sign for a premiership team they tend to become international players. Maybe if we had a squad of 25 top class players then you get more leverage with them about losing their place. As it is, we have none.

[Monty]

For Buendia it's an absolute fucker, basically deprived of any game involvement for a month so that Scaloni can look well 'ard. I'd be pretty fuming were I he.

[Drummond]

I guess with three games coming up, Argentina named a larger squad to cope with injuries and Buendia missed out on the matchday squad this time.
