Beattie has scored goals over a number of seasons whereas Angel hasn`t.
Although i do think Angel is better than him, but he hasn`t scored over a number of seasons. (Through no fault of his own)
I was simply saying that with all the negativity on the board towards our signings & the claims at how brilliant `Boro, Small Heath etc signings have been i would expect most people to predict us finishing 10th or lower.
Obviously none of you think it is as bad as you try to make out.
With the arguments comment i was saying that people say i`m not consistent but for certain people to be consistent i would expect them to say we would finish much lower.
Our squad is small, we haven`t strengthened, all our rivals have.
Yet the majority of posters think we will finish in the same bracket as last season.
Apparently i`m not consistent with my arguments.....look in the messageboard mirror.
It didn`t take long......i should have said wingers are there to create....as i said, Barry & Solano will bring creativity whereas Berson (ooops he hasn`t signed) & McCann will bring steel to the midfield.
You are misunderstanding my point, i`m not saying i think we have players of that quality but instead of having a partnership like that where they both chip in with 25 goals in a season we would have a partnership where they both chip in with 15 goals a season.
I would like to see a partnership of Cole & Angel because they are both goalscorers.
Shearer & Sutton
Van Nistelrooy & Saha
Henry & Trezeguet
Koller & Baros
Yorke & Cole
Gudjohnsen & Hasselbaink
They are various partnerships from the past few years where both strikers have scored numerous amounts.....i want a partnership like that for Villa.
Because he`s a striker that is an average finisher & rarely scores.
Now i know you will reply with, "but he runs the channels & helps set up Angel"......but that isn`t a strikers job, they are there to score, midfielders are there to create.
I don`t think i ever doubted that he was better than Vassell/L.Moore/S.Moore or Allback.
I think my suggestion was to cash in on him & buy a younger model....ie Baros (Who i think you all wanted in the end) or Yakubu.
Just answer the question....
Would you seriously consider any striker other than Cole or Vassell?.....If you wouldn`t, you are being pedantic for the sake of it.
I can`t believe somebody wants a replacement for Delaney.
If there is a better right back in the premiership i haven`t seen him.
Do you actually support Villa? Do you actually ever read our messages?
You rant about us calling Barry a winger & say we think our players are good enough for Madrid....WELL WE DON`T.
Your negativity towards Villa players makes me think you only signed up to talk about Pedersen & now you know he isn`t signing you just come on here to moan.
