ABH 470 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Braithwaite won’t play tonight, the deadline for Spain is 11pm. He’ll be hanging on for a move. Yeah, probably very close to being done at their end, just waiting for our blessing. Which will almost certainly only come if Puncheon or anyone else in his position comes in. I hope we are not paying any of he's wages if he goes. That could be the stumbling block if he want to go then he will have to take a wage cut to get the move. Link to post Share on other sites
thatoldchestnut 583 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 If Puncheon is messing about like Bolasie then we should be getting someone sorted elsewhere. Let him either rot or go and rot at Villa Link to post Share on other sites
boksicdink 1,942 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Adomah instead of Puncheon is a far better deal for us. Puncheon is in a similar risk to Bolasie. Link to post Share on other sites
Snowblind 1,734 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Adomah played in both Wing Back positions for Villa in pre-season too. He'd suit both systems we generally move between. Link to post Share on other sites

Adomah's decent but he can't replace 2 *cking players we need Puncheon as well or we're up a creek. Link to post Share on other sites
"KM" 1,656 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 I don;t believe for one munte Adomah is out of favour at Villa. He's been one of their better players in recent times. This has got to do with his contractual situaiton. He's in the last year of his contract; Villa probably want him to find a new club so they can get a fee for him. I would absolutely take Albert Adomah back in a heartbeat over Puncheon. He knows the area, he knows the club, he wouldn't need a settling in period. Link to post Share on other sites
Changing Times 12,347 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 I didn't realise Puncheon had been out for 8 months with a cruciate ligament rupture... Bad injury - check Fairly old - check Bother with the law - check He ticks all of the boxes for us :upside_down: Link to post Share on other sites

Honestly don't know what's up with Villa, they'd rather have Puncheon than Adomah? Seems mad to me. Link to post Share on other sites
wilsoncgp 9,283 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Interesting interview with Tony on the website. First of all that he alludes to us not getting pace in the team by the players we're looking to bring in in the last 24 hours and what remains of the window. So unless it's someone who just becomes available and we snatch at, there won't be no significant pace being brought in like some have expected. The interview was done yesterday morning, likely just after his press conference. The 2nd thing which I found noteworthy is him saying "Hopefully we can solve that problem in the next window or the window after that". Can we take that as an expectation that he'll be involved at the club beyond this season, assuming he keeps his job until then? It certainly seems to me to indicate that desire for him to be here and not just retire following this season. Link to post Share on other sites
Jimmy 140 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Would rather Adomah than Puncheon if it came to the choice. Really doubt Villa would sell to a direct rival though. Link to post Share on other sites
Changing Times 12,347 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 This needs looking into. Maybe they have someone reading this forum? It's hardly top secret info. Link to post Share on other sites
Changing Times 12,347 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Bring Albert home, Tony! Remember when we were selling him and he was called all sorts on here? Aye, bring him home :upside_down: Link to post Share on other sites

Adomah's decent but he can't replace 2 *cking players we need Puncheon as well or we're up a creek. Says in there us and Leeds have been in contact and he favours a return here.

He knows the area, he knows the club, he wouldn't need a settling in period. I do. They've just brought in 2 wingers who they value over him. Also reading some fans' comments, they actually think he's not been as good since the turn of the year (see the comments after the Burton Albion game basically). Link to post Share on other sites
LinoJo3 3,191 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Adomah has been awful for villa for ages, their fans are buzzing they didn’t renew his contract. Link to post Share on other sites
