That doesn't answer the question at all! The question was... How does them winning the European cup for example 39 years ago in 1982 have any bearing on football in the 2021/22 season?

Saint Garrett Posted 3 July, 2021 Share Posted 3 July, 2021 Of course they’re a bigger club than us, and have more history. I’m also pretty sure they’re a better side than us right now, have more ambition, and can pay way more money. Not really sure why you’re trying to not understand that MLG Whether that’s enough to make him leave, only time will tell.

Golac's Cunning Stunts Posted 3 July, 2021 Share Posted 3 July, 2021 All this talk about "JWP would be stupid to go there" - he absolutely will want to go if he gets more wedge. Wouldn't any of us go to a new job if offered a significant payrise? Wouldn't it be stupid to say "He works at Tesco, there's no way he will be interested in going to Sainsburys"? If he is getting more wedge, he's going to go. More money + being sold the story of the ambitions Villa have (whereas Saints appear to have little ambition) + potential chance to play with higher profile players and get a place in the england squad - all solid reasons to go to villa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Stu Posted 3 July, 2021 Share Posted 3 July, 2021 (edited) Agree with MLG. Recent success obviously trumps historic success. Clubs such as Villa, Everton and Leeds are clearly more successful and bigger clubs but I doubt players are dreaming of playing for them anymore. All of them regressed in a big way and two of them were in the second division very recently. Leicester City would beat all these clubs to signings despite being less successful and less 'big'. Players will be more concerned with recent success, salary and their future prospects. Remember all these players were born and grew up watching football probably from the late 90's onwards. Players that join us don't care we won a cup in '76. They will however care that we've been established in the Premier league for a decade, promote the development of youth, and are very open to letting them leave for better things. This is, I suspect, why we beat Leeds to Perraud. That is not to say Villa aren't a more attractive club at the moment but to highlight that none of their players care what they won in the 80's.

TWar Posted 3 July, 2021 Share Posted 3 July, 2021 (edited) I think players wanting to go to a bigger club is overstated somewhat. Players might want to play in bigger tournaments (going to a UCL/Europa side) or want to avoid dropping down (not joining likely relegation candidates) but between that it's all much of muchness, a mid table side is a mid table side. Beyond that its just about wages. Villa aren't in Europe and they probably won't be any time soon as they have one amazing player, a couple of decent players, and then a squad of mediocre players who would likely have gotten relegated a couple of years back if goal line tech hadn't had a one in 10,000 likelihood glitch. Bookies have us at 9/2 to go down and Villa at 11/2, it's much of muchness on that front as well. To be honest, they aren't a quality side side like Everton or Leicester. They have spent a bit because they still have a very cheap wage bill from the championship, but that also comes with a pretty poor squad. Grealish carries them and is far far too good for them, he goes in the summer and I think their relegation chances go a lot higher than ours regardless of whether they reinvest it.

I don't think JWP would hand in a transfer request, however it seems like he does see them as a step up. No doubt that's in terms of their ambition as well as the wages they are prepared to offer. It's sad but shows where we are as a club under the current owner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dusic Posted 4 July, 2021 Share Posted 4 July, 2021 Will find out soon enough as if there is interest from both sides then a firm bid will surely follow. Not unexpected though, he has been consistently good for 2 years and we have a long history of selling at the first signs of sizeable cash. For that reason, if the cash is right we will sell again as we cannog compete financially on fees or wages with Villa and JWP of course knows this. I mean, its a nice thing to stay at one club all your career but surely he must have an interest in trying to better himself, and an eye on the WC squad too.

You've mentioned Danjuma a couple of times. Has there been a link I've missed or is this player just on your wishlist? I'd be nervous if we did not sign a first choice CB IF we sell Vestergaard. I think Salisu will become the norm on the left side. Bednarek need sto up his game I feel and Stephens worries me everything he's on the pitch (although to be fair he looked "safer" at LB!!). I'd love a new GK. Armstrong seems like a positive purchase. Selling Ings, JWP, Vestergaard and one or two others (Redmond ideally) should generate upwards of 80-90m. This plus any other funds should allow a decent mini rebuild. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
