    All signings are calculated risks. We buy young talent "hoping" they mature and improve into top quality players. I don't think signing Coutinho or Carlos on 4 year deals puts any manager in a difficult situation unless the players themselves fail. Yeah maybe Coutinho might be past his best in the last year of his contract but Carlos will be 29, 30, 31 and 32 in his 4 seasons here as a CB. Total peak years. Also wage infation is so big that 125k we pay Coutinho will be considered not very big in 3 years time

    At Villa we've Archer, Chukwuemeka, Iroegbunam, Ramsey, KKH and maybe JPB/Barry as young 21 or younger prospects
  3. CVByrne
    Whatever metric you want to use Villa are either 4th, 5th or 6th in youngest squad last season. That is after our January signings. Now next season you'll see Archer, Kamara and KKH added to the squad. You'll see older players like AEG, Trezeguet, Sanson etc.. depart. We could be signing Bassey who's 22.

    Villa fans are still stuck in the past where you have like 13 or 14 first team players and another 6 or 7 back ups. Gerrard has stated he wants two players for every position. So we have signed Diego Carlos and one CB will leave. We all know it will be Hause yet we keep saying Mings. Hause is back up player level, Mings is first team competition level player
  5. CVByrne
    I assume he was on the list if we failed to land Carlos
  6. CVByrne
    Well Konsa and Nakamba as they're players being replaced by Kamara / Carlos
  7. CVByrne
    Benezema isn't even a year younger than him. Decline from a high level doesn't mean you can't contribute. Look at Ibra when he joined United, or Ronaldo
  8. CVByrne
    Like coming on a free on a 1 year contract would cost us £7-8m. That's nothing for what he could bring to us. He can make an impact off the bench at a minimum that's for sure

    If we can land Suarez I then assume we now focus on shifting players on. Then we look at further additions. Targett, Traore, Sanson, Luis seem the 4 we need to shift to bring in some proper money.
  10. CVByrne
    The sight of Luis Suarez coming off the bench to get us a winner will give me goosebumps. Also the draw and pull we will have with players like this at the Club. Will be brilliant for clubs profile
  11. CVByrne
    He's only 19yo. He might go on loan again
  12. CVByrne
    Please be announced in next two days. So we can have improved the spine of the team inside of a week
  13. CVByrne
    They need at least 4 central midfielders for the system they play and number games they'll have. Hojberg, Bentancur, Skipp and 19yo Sarr. They need another signing in there and Bissouma would fit the bill perfectly for them.
  14. CVByrne
    Bissouma will be off to Spurs. I think the 8 who comes in will be an experienced senior player who is bought into the project and doesn't need to start every week.
  15. CVByrne
    If Buendia and Coutinho could chip in with more goals it would be great. I hope they develop an understanding and partnership in summer. People said Ings and Watkins couldn't play together and that was proven wrong. It'll be the same with Coutinho and Buendia, especially as they both seem good mates off the pitch too.
  16. CVByrne
    Yeah I think we need four 8's, so JJ, McGinn and two more. I think Chuk will be counted as one of the 10s as in we've 3 and he'll be the 4th in terms of squad depth. So if we lose Luiz and Sanson we'll probably need 2 more players coming in. I'd love Luiz to sign a new deal but we all know it doesn't seem like it'll happen
  17. CVByrne
    However, I do believe he'll join Spurs over us for sure. They have Champions League football to offer. I'm just very happy the two key positions we needed sorted have been done. Elite passing CDM, and elite passing CB
  18. CVByrne
    I'm worried we need to move on players now before we can sign anyone. So Luiz to Roma needs to be done before we press ahead with Bissouma. Similarly Targett sold to Fulham before we pursue Bassey.
  19. CVByrne
    You have to expect the CB who gets on the ball as much and makes as many passes as Diego to have more errors leading to shots than a CB who smashes the ball out of play and doesn't take responsibility to play the ball out of defence.
  20. CVByrne
    When you have two right footed CBs one of them has to play on the left. A right footed CB will prefer to play on right side of defence as that's naturally where suits them best. It's great that Carlos can play either side of defence as it means he can replace Hause position in our squad and we have 1 LCB, 2RCB and Carlos who can play either. It makes absolutely no sense to sell our Club Captain as he has been the best CB at the club for years now. Costa + Mings is the best partnership we can field. I thik what Carlos brings now is open competition for places including Mings. I see McGinn becoming club captain.
  21. CVByrne
    Who would we replace two ever present players with then? Selling McGinn and Watkins is lunacy.
  22. CVByrne
    Ings does tbf, he just hasn't finished his chances like he would normally
  23. CVByrne
    To show why you need at least 4 first team midfielders when you play a 3 man midfield. Here is the number of mins JJ, McGinn & Luiz have played in Prem this season and the total mins played by all other players who played in midfield. So we need a Bissouma with Kamara, JJ & McGinn even in a season where nobody gets a longer term injury JJ 2478 McGinn 3093 Luiz 2722 Other 1967
  24. CVByrne
    Bring on west Ham next season. Let's see who is more physical now.
  25. CVByrne
    I think the pulling power of Gerrard and how it can advance the club has been so underrated.
