foxile5 Posted 5 June 2023 Author Share Posted 5 June 2023 He'll get his head down, slim up, and produce some ****ing fine football for eighteen months. Then he'll be established and standards will slip a little bit. But they'll have some success from him. I'm sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An Away Move Posted 5 June 2023 Share Posted 5 June 2023 4 hours ago, AjcW said: Family man, won't have to move house etc Gets to work with a world class manager Villa likely to be challenging top 6 again next year. Sounds like a great move for him. This is not a gimme. They’ll be competing on more fronts than last year and underachievement in the league could see them get clogged up with FFP and soon in trouble like we were this season.

Noahfence Posted 5 June 2023 Share Posted 5 June 2023 So he ran his contract down because he wanted champions league football whilst producing some revolting performances.. just to sign for Villa?!? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legend_in_blue Posted 5 June 2023 Share Posted 5 June 2023 This makes me laugh. He will achieve nothing greater there than he has achieved here. In fact, the likelihood is he doesn't achieve as well as Villa won't likely win anything of note. Continuing his downwards trajectory then. So much talent, wasted.

He'll have to up his game there or a good manager like Emery will bench him. I envisage he'll suddenly get fit and work a bit harder ... for the first 18 months anyway. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legend_in_blue Posted 5 June 2023 Share Posted 5 June 2023 I don't see any bitter comments in here, just a sense of realism as to where his efforts have got him, should this rumour be true. He's consistently underachieved in comparison to his talent for the past two years. To coin a phrase, he is where he is. He won't win anything else in England while he is here.

Freeman's Wharfer Posted 5 June 2023 Share Posted 5 June 2023 His agent has stitched him up properly if Villa’s the best it gets for him. Could have had 2 years on a better wage at Leicester and likely been playing at a similar to level to what he’ll now have to play at with them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its the fact he ran down his contract waiting for one of the elite to take a chance on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lcfc_forever Posted 5 June 2023 Share Posted 5 June 2023 His agent has screwed up, he clearly had more ambitious clubs in mind for Youri last Summer but couldn't get a deal sorted. His subsequent performances this season will have put off top tier suitors for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeskeyForever Posted 6 June 2023 Share Posted 6 June 2023 I still love Youri and wish him the best. Can you imagine scoring THAT goal to win the FA Cup, only to have some twat with lips as dry as a camel's arsehole tell you that you're only good enough to 'maybe survive the drop'. The perfect opportunity to sell him came along and we wanted to cling to the completely misguided hope that we'd qualify for Europe again this season (or the one before) which would make him want to say. I think poor communication and understanding what his hopes and ambitions are as a player left him with no choice but 'run down his contract'. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The big signing on bonus he will now receive will dwarf any additional contracts he could have signed 2 years into his stay here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
