Barkley would be a superb signing, great mix of prem experience and a sign of a move up in quality.
-
Maybe I'm wrong but we dont ever seem to send our youngsters to the championship only usually the more established players who you know are on their way out.
-
My thoughts as well, he had a steady game and didnt look daunted but probably stood out due to his age. I thought the midfield 3 did well, win the ball back quickly and get it to jack. I dont think they needed to do anything special.
-
Not really, but now you've really confused me. So I think you want benrahma as long as smith does NOT want benrahma BUT if smith does want him, you wouldnt trust his judgement and would now rather not have him?
-
No one knows benrahma better than smith and we choose to sign this guy. That says to me either the benrahma money is too much, wages too much or attitude not right. Else why would smith not pursue?
-
for a bit of context, us villa fans were largely happy when we managed to sell/swap Adama Traore.
-
i think thats Martinez, im not convinced a new GK was ever in the plans.

The RJW63 Official Jack Grealish Appreciation Thread
cheltenham_villa replied to kevangrealish's topic in Other Football
Also my worry, this was the situation with bale at spurs and Suarez at liverpool. Loads of money spent in the window, everyone happy then on the last day you sell the star to balance the books -
Wasnt a priority for me but hes 6/7 years younger than Heaton and dean has always been clear that he wants a senior keeper. This gives us 2. Further strengthens the starting 11 which is a priority. Wouldnt be surprised to see Heaton return to Burnley and Pope sold at some point.
-
Hadnt appreciated the age gap which makes a case, I just didnt see it as a priority area and 20m at that.
-
Not sure he would be first choice when Heaton is fit, does this suggest Heatons injury is much worse than thought?
-
Never seen him play but we need goals and he looks like he scores them. My only worry with the fee is whether it costs us something else, if its 28m upfront, every million is money that can now not be spent on someone else. If FFP gives us a restricted budget we need to be wise to that.
-
Is it time to lock this one. Feels like he was a target but as time goes on it looks less likely to happen. Can only assume that were apart on valuation of wages.
-
And me, this is the worst type of trolling. I just dont understand why we need to spend 20m on a keeper. Is heaton crocked?
-
I'd argue more than one year ahead. They got promoted have stormed the championship, we got promoted having finished 5th. I'm not even sure the team that stayed up last year would have won the championship. Were rebuilding but they are years ahead currently.
-
Hard to judge a good player in a poor team, after lockdown, Jack arguably had his worst run in a villa shirt.
-
Agree with this, we need to build a squad of competent players with a range of options and formations. He improves us for a relatively low fee. Sign him up and get another.
-
Mine as well, he had a spell at cheltenham as well and regularly appeared in my local shop where I often serenaded him. Alan Wright Wright wright
-
The year before, a team finishing 5th got promoted and managed to stay up
-
I just dont understand why we are buying another keeper. Especially an older keeper on big wages.
-
I've always been a big fan so excited by this. I wanted to see a balance of proven premiership experience and hes also a proven goalscorer at that level. Hes always looked solid against us and leads from the front, can play wide or through the middle and would complement a number of formations. Get him in, it's not my money.
-
This is up there with pallet gate
-
Got ya, just checking if id missed something. I'd like wilson, always rated him, especially against us.
-
Is this in response to a link or just an opinion?
-
Not for me, needs to include an allocation for STs, members, juniors, those with ticket history, away fans. Proportions should be weighted to reflect last years allocations (70% tickets for STs) else you prejudice those that couldnt afford seasons tickets, those that live away etc.
