Not the most reliable of websites is it. They say Bacuna left Villa for Reading in Summer 2018 but it was actually August 2017. They also say he got relegated from the Championship with Villa in 2016 but it was of course from the Premier League. If they cant get basic facts like that right, I wouldnt believe a word they print. Also bearing in mind Villa fans honestly believe that they should be in the Prem instead of us, I think they will say anything to try to wind us up.
None of the opinion is written by the person who wrote the article though - it's essentially fluffer so they can put the tweets in there.
Have you read what Pearcey (the Reading fan) has had to say about Bacuna on here? I'm guessing you'd write off his opinion too, for some brilliant reason.
Sure I read a comment of the Reading forum that he has only really been decent for them at RB. I'm assuming that's where we see him playing, he will certainly have more going forward than Bruno or Peltier. Utility player, can cover cm also.
Give the lad a chance, we have clearly struggled this window for various reasons even before the Sala tragedy. After that it was always going to make it harder to get players in.
We’ve got a player in. Not a very good one based on the last few years. On a 4.5 year deal.
This is why I said a few days ago to keep our powder dry for the summer rather than bring players in for the sake of it who are not going to keep us up.
We could be changing manager in the next 6/18 months given Warnocks age and we could be stuck with a player for 3/4 years that the new manager doesn’t want.
I wasn’t Malkys biggest fan but Tan unfairly laid all the blame at his door he last time we were here. However, It seems the club have learned nothing themselves since then and are still making expensive mistakes.
Interesting question.
2018/19 - 6 goals from set pieces (30% of all goals) so far
2017/18 - 21 goals from set pieces (30%)
2016/17 - 21 goals from set pieces (35%)
2015/16 - 13 goals from set pieces (23%)
2014/15 - 17 goals from set pieces (30%)
2013/14 - 13 goals from set pieces (41%)
There are no stats available before the 2013/14 season. It's worth adding that Whittingham scored only 1 or 2 free kicks during this period so we're talking about goals scored from corners/free kicks being launched into the box.
If you didn't laugh you'd cry.
I honestly wonder what those at the club are doing at times like this.
If we have signed a midfielder to play at right back in the place of a central defender playing at right back then it is truly laughable but that is how it seems.
