Dave Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Telegraph Sport can reveal that the Roma striker was Garde's No. 1 target for January and Villa's sporting director Hendrik Almstadt and Paddy Riley, the director of scouting and player recruitment, flew out to meet him in the Italian capital last week. Garde had spoken extensively with Doumbia by telephone and Villa even offered Roma a bigger loan fee than Newcastle, yet the Ivory Coast international has still opted to join Steve McClaren's strugglers. http://i.imgur.com/7KnCvFn.gif Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twinport53 Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 So instead of definitely getting relegated, he just might be relegated. Good on him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobS Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 to be fair if you showed him a video of all of Mitro's misses this year he will probably be thinking he will score a bucket load and get signed by a champ league team in the summer lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest dabe Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Just seen this. Good signing and fits the mould of a counter-attacking, quick transitional/breaking team; which is the only thing McLaren has done relatively successfully for us and seems to be his MO for signings this window. With Townsend, Wijnaldum, Sissoko and Shelvey, I'd fancy Doumbia to get a semi-decent return, he suits that accompaniment better than either Mitrovic or Perez who might see less game time; which is the shitty by-product of the January transfers...
