Confirmed Signing Anwar El Ghazi

[Efcjake]

He wants to play 4231.

For the three positions behind the striker we have:

Gray, Richarlison, Townsend, Gordon, Iwobi

One of them is useless and at AFCON, one of them is currently injured, and one of them is injured but playing through a broken foot.

So yeah if Villa are throwing in a decent winger as part of the Digne deal then I don’t see it as a massive deal to get bent out of shape about

None of these should be playing behind the striker.

 

[Noisy noise annoys]

It won't be a loan. Villa will want the money.

Then he wont be coming

 

[Carloblues]

Hasn't even signed and I already want to boo him on par with rondon and iwobi

 

[ForeverBlue92]

Show me one of his tweets that have been proven wrong? He’s been the first to break team news and transfer news for a while now. He has connections within the club and in very high journalistic circles.

Your insistence on backing Benitez and now Moshiri is absolutely baffling.

He tweets transfer gossip minutes after journos and adds his own slant to the rumour and people think he's great.

He's either Bill Kenwright or briefed by a board member / agent as they are the only ones who would know what Moshiri and Kia Joorchbian / Mendes are in discussions aboot.

I’d stop well short of saying he’s been class, but he’s definitely made progress.

I was, by no means, saying I WANT Gordon to go out on loan, I was just hypotheising as to who will make way for El Ghazi. The signing barely makes sense in general, but even less so if we keep the five existing first team wide players (and provide another hurdle for Dobbin to have to overcome).

Reportedly the manager doesn't want El Ghazi

Granted gray cost 1.5 but if we paid 15 in the summer everyone would of went mad at the time and still be buzzing with him now.

That isn't untrue.

The difference is Gray was a young talent who hadn't been given consistent playing time since he was 21 and had shown growth in his limited minutes. El Ghazi has played 1500+ minutes the last three years and hasn't been particularly impressive in them.

15m is probably too much. He's going to come in and shoot a lot, which is fine I guess, but not worth paying real money for. And he's going to keep Gordon out of the team which makes it more harm than good.

 

[Efcjake]

Are we serious

What's the Xg/a like fella?

 

[malfosse]

Dear Lord

Have a little mercy

The way he punishes us I swear Eve was an Evertonian.

 

[caughtbythefuzz]

I just messaged a mate of mine who is a villa fan. I said is this lad as bad as I think? He replied "?? yeah worse mate. He was good for us in the championship, so Villa fans will always like him, but as for premier league, he ain’t up to it".

 

[Azza]

Moshiri is mates with Mendes too and other agents acting as 'intermediaries' in transfers is absolutely nothing new. So wouldn't be surprised at all if this has been engineered by both Mendes and Kia.

 

[Dykovski200]

£15 million, the negotiators are at it again.

This club ??‍

 

[Brett Angell Delight]

If you believe that El_Bobble on Twitter, then apparently this is a Moshiri move (again), if so just swerve the stadium off and we need to Swerve Moshiri, the fella is an absolutely nightmare.

El Ghazi, Jesus wept.

If Moshiri keeps pulling this nonsense, then many will get their wish because I can’t see Benitez putting up with it.

 

[Ladda]

Then he wont be coming

Watch Villa knock it down to £10m to make it seem like a 'good deal' and we'll get fooled by it.

Yeah, just catching up with the thread and seeing it’s apparently another Moshiri Master Plan.

I miss the days when we were poor.
