January 2015 transfer window ( No GIFs allowed )(Nor fish puns ffs)

So a player could be accused of a lack of ambition by renewing a contract here too then?

Depends who he is, which teams he's linked with and stuff.

 

[Joey66]

Would you say that if mirallas renewed his contract?

As long as it has His contract stated he does not grab the ball off our pen taker!

How about Coleman? Manu rumoured to be interested. Would it be a lack of ambition for him to stay?

I can't see why they'd buy Coleman when they can probably get Clyne for the same price.

Coleman's not out of contract in the Summer either.

That's beside the point. I just find it weird that you would insult a player for remaining loyal to his club. I think it should be applauded.

Would you rather our players were all as ambitious as lescott?

 

[Aidey9]

You dont actually believe a premier league manager when he opens his mouth do you? Part of their coaching badge include telling outright lies.

He seems a pretty straight shooter does Dyche. Anyway, Ings as already said he'll see the season out with them, so if it is true, we're wasting our time!

Personally I think he's shown all the loyalty he should be expected to by seeing out his contract. He didn't sign for 'x' number of years with a gentleman's agreement that he'd sign another contract afterwards, did he?

 

[Aidey9]

quite suprising that

A lot of Villa related people reckon they've tied him to a long term deal to be able to sell him off as early as the summer for a lot more than the £4m valuation he had on his head this month?!

 

[kenada_blue]

Yeah, I was surprised too. A lack of ambition.

Or he's sensible. He's still young and will be playing every week.

Or no club were interested in him.

That's obviously what has happened! Why would any england international wanted by top 6 sides sign and stay at villa who are struggling year in year out, are up for sale, have no money to invest and have no ambition or youth coming thru.

He's off in the summer. Villa fans should be greatfull he's staying till then to maybe help them avoid the drop and get them a wedge of cash when he does go now.

I disagree. If all of our players did that we'd be screwed within a few years. We'd be better off with lescott's style of loyalty.

I'm not saying all our players should do it, or that it'd be good if all players did it, just that he signed a contract and he'd have fulfilled his obligations by seeing the contract out. Clubs have plenty of time to tie the player down to a longer term contract if they want to keep them.

Fulfilling an obligation isn't really what loyalty is about IMO. But I don't think we are going to agree on this.

 

[Alex Hindmarsh]

Spurs have danny rose and ben Davis so I can't see them being after garbutt

Think he'd be above Ben Davies in the pecking order but who knows, seems like he'll continue to be our 3rd choice.

 

[TippEverton]

Everyone is going to fume about not getting Gil in now.

FFS Bobby.
