Confirmed Signing Anwar El Ghazi

[BigDunc'sFod]

Last thing: he is 10x the player that Iwobi is

Aren't we all?

Make a decent boyband that

We play likes boy band....

Just reading the comments on the Villa forum:

‘Wasn’t good enough for us in the Championship’
‘Sub-par’
‘Can’t control a ball’
‘Can’t cross’
‘Can’t beat a man’

Sounds very Everton.

Sounds like Iwobi .

Thought I'd post this from what I said yesterday:

El Ghazi is a decent player. Loves cutting inside and shoots very much. From a Villa perspective, Gerrard usually has 2 #10s instead of traditional wingers, which Ghazi is more suited for. Think that's more why he is out of favor and likely for us to move on (I'd much rather keep him over Trézéguet for reasons that should be clear after our game vs Brentford). Definitely is a confidence guy -- last season's December I think he was nominated for PL PotM and scored in maybe 4 in a row. El Ghazi is the best penalty taker I've seen at Villa in a long while, hasn't missed one for us (think he's 7/7)


Last thing: he is 10x the player that Iwobi is

I couldn’t care less, we’d be fools to part a penny fir him, he doesn’t get in our side and wouldn’t even be first sub. Thankfully at worst it’s a loan deal. Rafael doesn’t want him, it’s agents in the owners ear, hopefully he will quickly come to his senses

So Moshiri is still interfering with transfers then?!

A number 10 usually passes so that'll rule him out

10 x 0 still equals 0 !

Are you being snippy with him because he dissed Iwobi?

Nah I'm done with Iwobi.

And I was sort of agreeing. I get why Gerrard doesn't use him. I wouldn't either. The amount of decent positions he wastes is scandalous.

I don't care who it is, signing bench players from teams we're supposedly better than can not be anything other than a massive sign of our increasingly rapid decline.

I find it completely believable that Moshiri would meddle in transfer activity and initiate a move for a mediocre player, as there's history (iwobi). But beyond bobble from twitter has any legitimate journalist verified his assertion?

his money is cursed

Not as a permanent. Joyce mentioned a loan.

I did notice that report, but it didnt confirm the notion that moshiri was orchestrating the deal without Benitez's approval, which is what the el bobble account was claiming.
