Confirmed Signing Anwar El Ghazi

[Nymzee]

I hear ya, but he's a squad player at mid-table Villa. He's hardly likely to be on £250k a week. Reckon it's probably in line with whatever our first team average works out to be (£40/60k?!).

Yeh but say we only cover like 25% of that it’s not using up too many wages for us.

Hopefully this at least means no more Iwobi

 

[Noisy noise annoys]

we’ve taken someone else’s crap to go with our crap

The squad is better with him being in it than him not
It’s basic really

 

[lancs blue]

All it takes is Billy whizz to take a shine and he'll be on a six year deal

 

[bluestevon]

Bringing in someone who is at least able to score goals compared to Iwobi who obviously can't. As a stop gap till the end of the season it's fine. Even better if it means we can loan out Iwobi and make a net saving of like 80k + a week in wages (and maybe use that loan to get him a sale in the summer)

 

[Milkman]

Was 34 when he first signed

Wasn't he 14?

 

[AsiaAsia82]

Hahah, I remember when people mocked us signing Grey.

Let’s see first shall we..

 

[thorney33]

If we’re going to have wingers on the bench it makes sense to have one that actually has goals in him.

 

[Dutch Toffee]

What do you make of him mate?

Good to you about!

Don't really know much more about him than you tbh. Only know him from his time at Villa. Didn't follow the Dutch eredivisie at that time, because Fortuna weren't in it.

Didn’t he score more than Richarlison last season?

Athletic have confirmed that this is a Moshiri signing via that odious tit Kia Joorabchian. We actually have Benitez to thank that it’s a loan deal rather than a permanent one. Transfer wise, apart from Rondon, I actually can’t say Benitez has done anything wrong. Tactically and results wise he’s all over the chippy though. Let’s hope results improve because it appears he’s got the stones to stand up to Moshiri, which we badly need.

All the best Anwar, hope you do well but glad it’s try before you buy.

 

[ArtetaMoney]

I assume you thought the free transfer Rondon carried no risk as well?

His presence on the pitch has contributed hugely to the 6 points in 36 run of form.

He didn't play in the Arsenal game.

 

[Magus]

So was John Connolly John Connolly, the winger to watch.

This post has given me happy/sad with memories of my lovely Mum taking me for my first football kit, traipsing between John Colliers and TJ's in the pouring rain to try and find a kid size blue shirt in the days before replica kits. She stuck at it and eventually we found one of the old V-neck type. A proper act of love.

Ok mate, you keep beating that drum.

….so, are we now recognising Moshiri initiated this deal?
