Zico Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 5 hours ago, FarmerTweedy said: I think one of the big things about bringing in a player of his type, calibre and experience would be that his influence could potentially go well beyond just what he does himself on the pitch, and help the rest of the midfield around him to deliver more by freeing them up a bit to focus more on the attacking/creative side of game. Absolutely this. I didn’t see lots of Villa last season but when I did see them, Grealish and McGinn were running the show - someone was doing their dirty work in midfield and I presume it was Whelan.

No danger it normally takes this long with a free agent unless he's had other offers elsewhere and he is weighing his options up. Come on Glenn just sign ffs Mulling over the offer during the weekend and taking in the match ?. Might suit us as a silver lining announcement on Monday if we lose to the sheep.

PTBCAL Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Would be a decent enough signing but to me it still hasn’t addressed our lack of creativity in the middle of the park.

busby1985 Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 I think players like Whelan and Morrison will wait till the English transfer window shuts before agreeing to join us.

No one can deny this is a possibility but if we imagine ours turned out to be his best offer by miles and we get so sick of waiting that we sign someone else, he will miss the boat.

Eddie The Eagle Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 He has signed. I don't know what the hold up is with this gentlemen.
