The January New Manager Warchest Transfer Thread

I don’t think his style of play suits Pep at all.    He will ruin Jack.

He dwells on the ball too much. Terrible shame for him.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

He'll end up at Everton or somewhere rotten, doing a Delph.

When was it he said he wants to return one day to play again for the Villa? This week he wants to go and play in the MSL. He and his father had already talked about it, said he follows the league,  spoke about Carl Gil being voted Player of the Season but couldn't name which team he plays for. I think he just wants to be loved and will say anything to please people.

I dread the day when he scores against us and those that clapped will stand there and do so again. Why you'd clap and encourage any opposition player is beyond me but each to their own.

We never had this problem with the other players who left so why do we have so many telling us we should get over it and all the rest?

[Dave P]

I’ve only ever clapped one former player for scoring against us and that was Ian Taylor in a pre season game at Derby.

But Ian Taylor was a proper Villa legend.Sorry ,not was ,IS.

I think the only time I've ever stood and applauded a goal against us was a Matt Jansen worldy for Crystal Palace against us but we were 3-0 up at the time.

[brontebilly]

Nah, I think eventually he will be a success, he's too good not to be. But it will be very much as AN-other Citeh player as opposed to a the main man/superstar elsewhere.

Guardiola doesn't seem to have many favourites. Sterling is left out regularly. It may be injury related but De Bruyne likewise. Great to have the luxury of keeping players like that guessing.

Grealish will still end up with a decent G&A tally and a league medal won by about March time. It does take getting used to watching him stuck on the left wing effectively as a decoy for Cancelo. But he's too good a player not to make it work.

I never stood and clapped but I did clap when Ashley Cole scored a volley in front of the Holte end. He was world class that day.

I remember that goal. In front of the north stand. Palace wore yellow. Was quality.

[OCD]

I was in the Holte. Think we had all stood up anyway and it's very easy to clap a quality goal like that when you're 3-0 up.
