Seen loads of Villa fans say he was a ''class above'' today but I thought he was dire, absolutely no end product and just flatters to deceive imo Show pony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parsnip Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 So what exactly do Villa do now? Will they get a transfer embargo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewe Ram Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Why do people think that a player who wants to deceive officials is good? He may have some skills but he’s a cheat, he dives, he flaps his arms about every time he’s tackled trying to influence the ref. I may be old fashioned but to me that makes him a bad player and seeing Terry consoling him has made my weekend. My grandad taught me that cheats shouldn’t prosper.

Day Posted May 27, 2018 Author Share Posted May 27, 2018 I expect Bruce will walk away early next week, having recently lost both his parents in the space of 3 months, bit of time away from the game is probably needed. First job would be to appoint a salesman as Villa’s financial situation has been widely reported. The actual wage bill numbers haven’t been revealed, not sure if @ramblur as looked into the how’s but they are not public, the possibility of having to sell their training ground suggests it’s not exactly under control. Terry was reported to have earnt £4m, unlikely he will be renewing, as wont the loans they have in, Grabban, Snodgrass and Johnstone. Hutton, Samba, Agbonlahor and Bunn are out of contract. They still have one year left of parachute payments, only £15m this time round. With Wolves in the PL and if West Brom start splashing the cash, be a tough one for their fans to take.

Bruce said as much after the final - Terry had an extension clause in his contract if they got promoted - but they haven't so that doesn't apply and so unless Terry will take a substantial cut, he's not likely to get a new contract. If he's honest with himself, yesterday showed he'd pretty much reached the end of the road - so expect him to ship up at Moor farm any day soon....

SaintRam Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 13 hours ago, YorkshireRam said: Sessegnon put in a far better performance in my eyes. Kamara 2nd half even seemed more of a threat. Barring the odd 30 yard curler he just doesn't seem to actually do much apart from dribbling into dangerous areas followed by a few step-overs... Grealish is a class above most Championship players. Sessegnon is a few classes above the Championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
