Skeletor 0 Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 The number 4 shirt is available right now is it not? Come on Nobby, you know it makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
menace13 0 Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 Am I the only one who thinks re-signing Nobby is pointless seeing as he's getting on a bit now? Bowyer or Dyer can play on the right and they're younger so have more seasons ahead of them. Having said that I'm picturing Owen and Shearer up front with a midfield of Luque, Emre, Parker and Solano and I can't help smiling. 23717[/snapback] Hang on a sec,need to change underwear.. Seriously thought,if we finish below 8 with a team like that is really bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Womblemaster 0 Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 very clever player with the trumpet or the girls?? cant believe villa are willing to sell, they have tried to fend off offers for ages now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
menace13 0 Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 He's Villa's best player and apparantly a £1.5M fee would be enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razz 0 Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 We never replaced him with someone as good, did we? Btw, surely now we must SELL before we BUY or Fred's gonna cough up more cash?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohmelads 0 Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 (edited) Solano was never a pacy player who could skin his full-back, his game always relied on excellent crosses and intelligent link-up play. For that reason, I don't think he'll age as quickly as most wingers do when they lose their legs. I think he probably has 2 years left at the top. His best ever season was probably last season with Villa, he was their top scorer from right midfield. While Luque and Owen are both a real coup, Shearer lives off crosses and we don't have anyone who can reliably put them in. Solano is one of the best in the business at that. Solano and Dyer will give us different options on the right hand side and I'd be happy to see Milner go the other way for a season, he needs the games to develop. But I haven't seen a mention of this anywhere on the net from a creditable source, is there really any substance in it? Also, if we have suddenly targetted Solano, might this be an indication that the news on Dyer's hamstrings is not good?

BlueStar 0 Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 This stuff is all crazy. It's like Souness and Shepherd have done what they call in wrestling a "Heel-Face turn". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevin dillon 0 Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 Solanos form has never wavered, his assists and goals just keep on coming, £1.5m is a snip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you recall the start of the 2001/02 season he was absolute dross and many were complaining about him. That said, I'd still love to see him back!

Guest Sima Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 To be fair he did outpace Ian Harte I just remember the season where in the assists league both him and Robert were in the top 3. Crossing is his main attribute and he would only fit into a 4-4-2 really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luckypierre 0 Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 I think people have this romantic view of nobby and that his sale was the beginning of the fall. When he was sold I remember not being particularly bothered as he'd been poor for some time. He's done well in spurts for Villa but he hasnt been the top performer like he was for us at his peak. Saying all that I cant think of a better RM we could get for 1.5 Mill. A wise man once told me though never go back to where you've been before as it can never be as good as the first time round.

Guest Sima Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 Does anyone get the feeling that Solano didn't want to work with SBR much in the same way that Bellamy didn't want to work with Souness. Slight double standards methinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really wouldn't mind him back - then get Olly Bernard in and recall Laurent Robert and Milner after a few months - two players for every position sorted!

sweetleftpeg 0 Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 There were two problems with selling Solano. 1) The price. 2) We got nobody to replace him. I don't know if I'd have Nobby back or not to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emre 0 Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 I'd welcome him back, we needsomeone who can cross, especially with a knackered Shearer. SSN: Nobby wants back, fans outside SJP singing his name. Anyway, yea bring him back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
