A few extra quid maybe. Why would a regular and captain of his club come here as back up? McGeady said that Carlos was all over him, but then never played him. Maybe it's the same situation here with Venancio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N0rtherner Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Although far too late, I'm betting on Venancio starting next game in place of CA. He's had several U23s games and even been on the bench but so far been no. 4 in pecking order. With lees injured and VA needing time to learn in the U23s, step up Venancio!

Etchesketch Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Must be half of his signings have ended up not starting games when you would have expected them to! Buckley McGeady McManaman Abdi Matias(Been fit since about January) Lachman Venancio Emanuelson Wiggins Sougou McGugan Thought Butterfield was going to be another one after 1 start in first two months but looks like that has changed now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why don't we just save funds and promote someone from the youth set up? Its just bizarre. There are thousands upon thousands of wages that have been/are paid for players that are on our books; but dont seem to be genuinely SWFC players. Something smells rotten in Denmark. It'll all come out in the wash at some point, why is this money being paid? & who receives it? Too much money & too many players; for it to be just bad transfers in my opinion.

Geoffrey Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 We looked at over 200 centre backs before Carlos decided on Van Aken and Venancio. Makes you wonder who we were watching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earlsfieldowl Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Got whinged at for comparing to Urby but in terms of time on the pitch - which is what counts at the end of the day - there isnt a cigarette paper between them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hatcheeks Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 I'm just not surprised any more with the bizarre signings. CC hasn't really strengthened the 1st team since the Wembley defeat despite loads of signings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronnie Starling Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 On this seasons showing I would have put Sasso in front of all our centre halfs. At least with Sasso you had a player that would come out of defence with the ball and offer a goal threat from set pieces. He is a far better player than calamity Loovens.

WHY would a club send their captain out on loan with a view to never playing? Bizarre He's represented by Doyan Sports, hmm I wonder who pocketed the loan fee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence the reason for no game time. But where's Tom now. FFS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Road Runner Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Here is a youtube video of him, because we have never seem him play and what he looks like they have circled him for us - thanks. Looks like a defender who gets his foot in and positioning looks ok, he attacks the ball at set pieces amd scores a good few goals in this clip. Looks like a defender we kinda need at minute.

Swiss Toni Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 I can only think that the signings of Venancio and Urby were down to the loan windows not being open after the transfer window closes and therefore they were our safety net signings in case of injury disasters which didn’t materialise in Urby’s case and hadn’t yet in Venancio’s albeit I would like to see him on the right side of CB in the absence of Lees rather than Van Aken. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't hear who the subs were and couldn't work out who it was, nobody around me had a clue, eventually we decided it must be Venancio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarnsleyOwl96 Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Like many have said captain at previous club, fairly experienced too should be given a chance to be honest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
