  1. I do believe, at our stage in the process, Emi’s defensive ability would help massively in the number 10 role. Saw it too many times last season with Barkley how much a bit of tracking back and aggression would have helped.
  2. I do think Nakamba can be the answer. He’s barely had a run of games since joining us to really get his flow but has all the attributes to be an Ndidi type.
  3. I think it’s because he cost more than some of our defenders
  4. I think we were definitely looking at him last year and maybe even took him on trial (could be wrong). He hadn’t played much at that point though but managed to get 22 games last season in league 1, but only scoring 1 goal. He is a couple of years older than Carney.
  5. Is Aouars contract running down or something? Im sure I remember him being valued about the same as Partey last season (45 million) and Arsenal went for Partey.
  6. I think that’s the only chance we have of letting him go, if he upsets Wes. Leave her alone Jack!
  7. Yeah, my brothers a massive Arsenal fan so I watch them quite a bit and there upturn in form definitely coincided with him getting in the team as he really provided the link between midfield and attack!
  8. I think the owners would like to consider it but wouldn’t want to risk the wrath of the fans so will ultimately give him what he wants.
  9. At least he’s got a new job driving the little ball car on at the euros!
  10. Going to be 7ft 2 by the time he’s fully grown so pretty much 2 Elphicks.
  11. In fairness Vickery will answer any question put to him and at that stage it was only the first link stating that he was coming to Europe to meet reps from Ajax and Villa.
  12. Yep. Believe he only ever got 1 recommendation wrong in Raphael Sheidt (pronounced Shite) and he always gets ribbed for that. Would be a fantastic signing I reckon and made it into the final Copa squad ahead of Buendia so must have something about him.
  13. Just listening to Tim Vickery (the South America correspondent) on the World Football Phone In podcast and he gets Asked about Alvarez (about 11 minutes in) and says he is pure class and says he would be an amazing signing and if he had to compare him to any former Villa striker it’d be Gary Shaw.
  14. Love Mings and believe he’s been England’s best player so far, over both matches. I believe he gets a lot of undue stick due to the fact that he was out protesting (amongst massive crowds during COVID) at a Black Lives Matter rally. A lot of people were really angry with him about that, much like when Anthony Joshua stated that people should support black owned businesses at the same time and thousands of his supporters said they’d no longer support him. I’m not saying this is the reason any of us give him grief but a lot of England fans were definitely not happy about it.
  15. Absolutely loved this, best mini series for a long time but not the most fun watch. If anyone that enjoyed this hasn’t watched The Virtues (also Stephen Graham) and loosely based around director (Shane meadows) upbringing, or at least an event during, please do, it’s absolutely fantastic.
  16. Have you been caught in a snowstorm?
  17. Exactly, definitely worth a go now with the added creativity of Buendia. Can see it now, Mcginn intercepting and passing it to either side, who’ll make things happen.
  18. He isn’t the most creative type but would really help with our high press and opposition teams would hate us.
  19. Fair play mate, enjoy. Must say I was pretty worried he’d fade away after his early booking but didn’t at all.
  20. Yeah, he’s definitely more suited to the inside forward position.
  21. Decent player but needs to prove his fitness as would be a massive gamble
  22. The thing is with our youth set up now is the u18s that are good enough play for the u23s against much more experienced, and more physically developed players, thus negating the same need to play “mans” football. Chuk is already their physically and I believe he is ready to be integrated into the first team already. Could see it as maybe Barry going out on loan as he has all the skill but would be good to see how he stands up , physically, to the Championship.
  23. Would like Buendia and Olise in to complete the attacking mids/ winger options and then maybe a decent striker on loan to allow Davis a loan move. After that a big unit of a DM and left back cover would be great.
