Just like Eze. I think he will be an excellent signing for them, just like Eze! Great signing. I honestly think rudkin and our recruitment team would have no idea who he even is.

This should absolutely put paid to the argument that it is impossible to sign players that improve what we have due to our league position. The lack of forward planning and future proofing is quite honestly astounding. This season, in a window and a half we have managed to quash the PSR and possible points deduction argument/excuses for signing dross/being inactive in the market when they both didn’t happen. At what point do we realise that the people in charge of recruitment at this football club are absolutely incompetent and negligent. Put the blame where it lies. Rudkin, Glover and at the very end of the day, Top. Their decisions and stewardship has seen us lumbered with Vestegaard, Coady, Ward et al on stupid money, with no sign of changing course. We head into next season (likely in the championship) with Jordan Ayew and Bobby Reid while Southampton forward think with the likes of Gronbaek. They’ll recoup big money for Dibling and likely spend again, too. We are an utter laughing stock, they’re asleep at the wheel and have been for some time. I want serious people in positions of power at this football club not the charlatans we currently endure. Edited 21 January 2025 by CaliFOXnia 7

I want serious people in positions of power at this football club not the charlatans we currently endure. What is impossible is to sign players that improve us that are already proven... the problem we have had for just about the last 6 years is that we moved into an arrogant big club mindset and only target established players. Most of the more unknown players weve gone for, are only unknown to general fans really, they are still very common knowledge in the football world. We wouldnt have taken a punt on Fofana if he hadnt had a blinder against PSG. We wouldnt have gone for faes if he wasnt a belgium international. We are transparent and are scared to actually take a gamble on a player. We go for someone like Soule when in reality we should have been going for someone like Phillogene. but our club ego is just too much. We are so transparent. The problem with us, we have to let someone like Atalanta sign a player like Gronbaek first, before we will decide hes now worthy of joining us. We are in the wrong part of the food chain and the club dont seem to have adapted to the fact that in our situation you need to make some educated gambles. I'll admit that im pleasantly surprised by Woyo as this is more the type of deal we need to be looking at, but our summer was tarnished by this arrogance imo. So much wasted time chasing unrealistic options. Edited 21 January 2025 by Lambert09 8

I think Villa know what they're doing now.

Viva Posted 21 January 2025 Posted 21 January 2025 13 minutes ago, Samilktray said: Sounds like a questionable attitude to me buddy! A few posts from their forum, for your information. 'It seems that it is rather his behavior that is targeted, beyond frankly disappointing performances, it must also be said. If he does not want to fight to justify the amount of his transfer, quite substantial, and earn his place on the field, there is no point in wasting time with him. We can find more motivated players for less money and not necessarily less talented'. 'How can a Danish player who signed a contract 6 months ago ask to leave and let the club down when he has shown nothing and his performances are below the level of a player from the Training Center'. '95% of lost balls I think... totally overwhelmed by the game, the physicality, the contact... strengthen your game because you are non-existent little man!!!!!' I would question the attitude of a player that wants to quit a team struggling so soon.

The Bear Posted 21 January 2025 Posted 21 January 2025 Burnley have been roundly castigated for such alow ball offer though. It'll take more than that to get him. 2
