Vestergaard

[marbles]

I say we drop him off at @volpeazzurrohouse, and the two can sit on the couch together watching the rest of the season play out

I live in a small very old cottage with low beams, I don't want the big ungainly lump bringing my ceiling down thank you very much!

A little head helps when you have low ceilings !!

Also sack the complete twonks who are responsible for signing these two wasters 

Talk about slow motion car crash, anyone could have seen that this was the worst business imaginable 

[CrazyKopCorner]

Did you see the big oaf on Wednesday - couldn't even by arsed to even try to shoot properly - I'd not have him anywhere near the first team

Hopefully he goes to Villa and accepts the offer this time.

Can anyone think of a match he's played well in for us? All I can recall is a very good first half against man shitty.

He could do a job as a reinforcing beam for that low ceiling. Do you have a spare £2m?

15 minutes at Rennes. Are the ones I can think of.

And vs Man City, think it might have been his first start for the team.

With VAR in place he'd have given away 3 penalties.

Surely there is a Danish Club that would take him on a free and pay him a reasonable wedge.   

 

Need him off the wage bill and put his signing down to a momentary lapse of reason  (well one of several lapses actually)

Danish clubs surely won’t pay more than 15/20k per week

Selling Vestergaard on a permanent deal for a reasonable fee was realistic in the summer. As proved by the rumoured £8-12mil offers supposedly received from Fulham, Brentford, and maybe even Galatasaray. All 3 of those clubs would have sucked up all or the majority of his wages for the remainder of his contract too. It was dreamland stuff and would probably have enabled another summer signing in addition to Faes and Smithies.

 

However, I don't think a permanent deal is so realistic in this window. Firstly as Vestergaard has played about 100 minutes of football since the end of pre-season, all against League 2 opposition. Secondly as his international stock - which was a big positive factor for us as sellers - has fallen in missing out on the World Cup squad (which he deserved and was largely self-inflicted imo).

 

So he's not match fit, on big wages, and out of favour on all fronts. Screams loan with an option to buy to me, and then we'll be scrambling to get a couple of million for him in the summer. Absolutely horrific piece of business.

Moves house with lower ceilings…

[HybridFox]

Can't he do a Piers Morgan interview 

[yorkie1999]

I’d like to know which numpty thought buying a defender from a side we beat 9-0 was a good idea, and the other one who got sent off in the same game.

Yeah if he wasn’t motivated to drop his wage demands to land a WC place maybe unlikely he will do so in this window.

 

except he appears a million miles away from featuring and he isn’t getting younger. Agree that a Summer departure more likely. Unfortunately.

He did. 
 

Ultimately we’re paying him too much and it cost him his place at the word

cup. 

[alanf0x]

His other half is expecting so last think he wants to do is up sticks. We thought not playing him prior to the World Cup would force his move, it didn’t then, it won’t now. Stupidly put him on a ridiculous contract and are now paying the consequence for that

[1884Man]

What are the details of his contract! How much?

Isn't it close or the same to what he was on at Southampton between 75k and 80k per week

[whetstonefox]

I’d keep him just as a reminder to the management to never ever panic buy again because that’s what you get lumbered with.
