s6 owl Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 How pointless is this signing? comes in on loan with a view to a permanent deal and he hasn't even played one minute for the 1st team yet despite us being garbage defensively. Why don't we just save funds and promote someone from the youth set up? Its just bizarre. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sonofbert2 Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 It is a strange one. I remember thinking versus United that surely he had more experience, and wasn't he captain and player of the year at his last club, than Van Aken who was really struggling on the day. Still not been seen all these weeks further on and surely should have had a game before now. Weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Socialist_Owl Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 The club does this all time. What the roger was Burby Bumbleson doing here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowl Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Van Aken's made a fair number of costly mistakes now. There's a player there - I do believe that - but why are we still waiting to see Venâncio make his debut? The week these two signed, CC's comments were that Venâncio's ready now, but van Aken is one for the future; fast forward three months and Venâncio we've still not seen and van Aken made his debut within a couple of days of these comments. Odd indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHY would a club send their captain out on loan with a view to never playing? Bizarre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odd indeed. It is. It is odder than most of the others which are normally down to lnjuries. Has he been playing any games at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has he been playing any games at all? A few u23 games. Started the last one I think. He's been here three months now, and even when our normal right sided centre back is out we still replace him with a left sided centre back and so have two left footers at the back which is something that CC has commented on before that he does prefer to have 'feet balance' at the back. Maybe he's not good enough? Of course, I don't know. But why did we sign him if there seems to be such reluctance to play him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He must be appalling because our defence as it stands isn't good enough and for this guy to not even be given a chance... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Etchesketch Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 People have said he was only signed as backup but surely Venancio can't have been made aware of this because I don't believe he would have come otherwise. A few extra quid maybe. Why would a regular and captain of his club come here as back up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue and white Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 I bet the lad is just thrilled to have given up the captaincy of his club and regular football to come to us and be ignored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
