  1. I’d like Gouiri possibly instead of Chiesa, sorry @Jas10, mainly as he can cover for Watkins up top as well as out wide left. He’s a consistent scorer too. Kudus or De Keteleare would also be good as competition for Buendia (he can be our backup keeper ) I think we might wait on the RB and back up keeper. If Digne goes, a sneaky bid for either Truffert or Maatsen perhaps. Two more decent attacking players in and I think we’d move for a top eight challenger to a top four challenger.
  2. Kudus would be a good pick up but looks like Brighton are in for him.
  3. I always said we wouldn’t sell him but if we can’t guarantee him game time the deal makes sense. The old Villa would have just sold him but with a buy back clause we’re in a win win situation. Look at the Xavi Simons buy back for PSG, smashes it at PSV and they get him back a better player and cheaper than market value.
  4. He’d be huge competition for Buendia and could cover AM/RW and up top if needed.
  5. He plays on the right though. I think we need someone that operates on the left. I’d go for Gouiri at OGC Nice or the dream would be Chiesa.
  6. I can see us adopting a 433 or 4141 at times this season, especially if we see another wide player come in. We’d therefore possibly be playing three of them at the same time. Assuming Ramsey and Buendia are preferred out wide I’d go Kamara, Luiz, Tielemans/McGinn. If it was just the two though, n a double pivot, it has to be Kamara/Luiz for me (at the moment) but Luiz has some competition in Tielemans I think.
  7. Agreed, come a long way but I have to admit I like every one of those players. They all did their bit to get us to where are now and will be remembered fondly. I think many of them, going by social media, feel the same way about Villa.
  8. If we do get decent dollar for him no one has snapped up Truffert yet, although I did see his name mentioned a while back but can’t remember which team it was. Kerkez to Bournemouth is a bit of shrewd business on there part. I like Maatsen at Chelsea but think he’ll stay there now Poch is there.
  9. Is that the ZED trialist from a while back. He’s supposed to be rather good
  10. Can't watch the match but are we playing a 3142 in possession and a 4141 out of possession?
  11. We're just missing a few last pieces of the puzzle, quick check under the sofa. We need a LW/IF, RB/CB, GK and AM. Get those, whoever it be and we're cooking
  12. Was it Diaby that fed in Cash with a lovely through ball for Ollie to miss from about a yard away (should have slid for it). I couldn’t make out of it was Dougie, Diaby or someone else from the replay
  13. Oh hello Burnley, you’re enquiring about Aaron Ramsey? Yes he’s available. To buy? £@&# off! Perhaps you mean the Welsh Aaron Ramsey instead. Here’s the Cardiff number.
  14. LW/CF Amine Gouiri, AM Mohammed Kudus (or Rayan Cherki), DM/RB/CB Lutsharel Geertruida and a backup keeper….bosh, done Would have added Ugochukwu in there but that ship has sailed (screw you Chelsea)
  15. Only posting as said he’d be a good option for us but how the hell do Chelsea get away with this, including the loan to Strasbourg, who their owner has just bought hasn’t he. Boils my piss
  16. I’m not convinced by Doku, he could potentially be all show and no end product. His goals and assists stats aren’t that great. Also doesn’t he mainly play RW, where I would have thought Diaby will operate more than on the left?
  17. I’d like us to go for Gouiri as he’s good at both CF and LW. He’d be excellent in a 3 with Watkins central and Diaby right or as cover/comp for Watkins. He scores consistently too, like Diaby. There’s rumours we’re after Kessie but I’d prefer we got a couple of Young uns in for DM and RB and get a player like Geertruida that can cover the DM/CB and RB role equally efficiently. Not gonna happen but I’d like Gouiri, Kudus, Geertruida, Pubil and a keeper. If we let Dendonker go I’d like to get Ugochukwu too
  18. If that’s true can we look at Ugochukwu at Rennes. His stats are the same as Ugarte but he’s a 6 foot plus beast in the making. He’s only 19 too so will get better and better.
  19. I can see us using a 442, 4231 and 433 this season, especially as we’re likely to recruit more post Diaby (please make it official). Could we see another No10 come in to play the Odegaard role in a 433? We were linked to De Ketelare and Kudus previously.
  20. Good player, I think he’d suit the premier league as well. Isn’t he keeping Buendia out of the Argentina side?
  21. Is it greedy to also want Chiesa?!? Chiesa, Watkins, Diaby would be filth
  22. Looking at De Bruyne, Odegaards and De Ketelears stat maps they all look very similar in shape, just at different stages of career. That alone should point to the fact that he’d be a decent addition, albeit to develop here. If we’re after a playmaker though I’d like us to also look at Cherki but it would appear Chelsea are eyeing him at present.
