Of course longer term thats the way our model has to work (out of necessity) but its the timing. I was not happy about the Emi sale for that reason but to sell Emi and Todd in the same window when we've just been promoted would be very, very disappointing. That said i suspect there is not really any truth in the story anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike w 46 Posted July 21, 2021 He wanted out last year but WHY Villa ? Not going forward for him and may not get regular match time with what they have.. Good player but always try fancy stuff, if it comes off great but only about 20%. If we get £30 m think it might be a good deal for us I certainly dont think he is worth that but who am I? Supported City for over 60 years build a team around players who want to wear the yellow shirt not boys who think they are better than City. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I will never desert my club, but I am allowed the occasional bout of frustration at "what's been happening for thirty years" (more actually.) I was in my short trousers when Ron Davies was sold. He was my hero. I need no rebuke, nor lectures. Chill. He was mine too Broadstairs. How we only took £60K for him when Newcastle paid £100K for Wynn Davies from Wrexham still annoys me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

unique 435 Posted July 21, 2021 This would only make sense from a Villa angle if they were preparing to lose Grealish to Man City. If that’s not the case, and Cantwell still moves to Villa Park, they are certainly building an entertaining and destructive midfield, with a determined assault on a top six spot.

ged in the onion bag 855 Posted July 21, 2021 There seems an excessive amount of hysteria over this news item which has not really been substantiated. Seems to me that with Emi leaving, this is perfect for Todd to step up and be our main man. If Villa Keep Grealish then Todd may have a little more difficulty getting into the side. That said. They may see him as Grealish's replacement. From Daniels perspective he's already disappointed to lose Emi, if Todd goes too then it makes his job harder and could affect the morale of the group. DF is no idiot though, the fact he’s just signed a four year contract (great news) he must be satisfied with the plan ahead and the ambitions of the club. Losing Todd would be such a disappointment if it happened though, just hope he follows Daniel in signing a new contract very soon. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think you can be ambitious and do your best for your current club. Most footballers are like that, there isn't much loyalty. Todd is one of the few players at the club prepared to stick his head above the parapet, and was arguably our best player last time in the Prem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well b back 3,200 Posted July 21, 2021 Up here in the Midlands surrounded by Villa supporters. I laughed when they were telling me he was about to sign for £15m the max they would be prepared to pay. Then again they thought we were taking this p*** when they thought we were asking 20m for Emi. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crispeduk 282 Posted July 21, 2021 The only 'advanced talks' with Villa which would worry me would be if they wanted Daniel to replace what's his name - oh wait !!!! Btw Crafty, The Mighty Wyn signed for Newcastle from Bolton. Not being a clever ar*e, memory plays tricks, I keep thinking Ron signed from Wrexham which is equally wrong. What I didn't realise until checking up on my own memory was that Wyn was his middle name, his first name was ... Ronald. But what a pairing that was with Pop Robson in the Fairs Cup !!! But I agree with you our Ron was the best. The most complete centre forward of my lifetime bar none. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Great Mass Debater 1,081 Posted July 21, 2021 Not seen anyone say how much they'd want for Cantwell. Webber said if any of the three went then the fee would start with a 3. He's been true to his word so far. That 'article' states Leeds bid £15m last year but we were holding out for £20m. Personally Id be miffed if we only got £20m for him. Being English he should come at a premium Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
