    I understand what you are saying but we also need a squad that is capable of performing to a high level all season, with hopefully good runs in all cup competitions too. We don’t want an injury or burnout to ruin the season

    Zaha moved to united and then went back to palace. He had his big move, it didn’t work out

    We should have gone for Anguissa last year

    I though she was a commentator on fifa now

    Isn’t he a CB?
  7. Villa Stu
    Of course he is, who would chose to join spurs over Villa
  8. Villa Stu
    Agreed, the signings we have made will make us harder to beat and have added more physicality.

    Plus the way Bayern do business is that they look to strengthen themselves and also weaken a rival by signing their best player(s), which they have done multiple times to Dortmund over the last few years

    Who would you suggest? I’m struggling to think of many strikers that are an improvement and realistic

    Whilst I agree we need to get to the point that we don’t have a guaranteed starting 11but instead a squad that is challenging each other for starting places, I can’t help but think that a number of fans under rate some of our key players and overlook that they are being over worked and overused Mings does most of our defending and is the one that puts his body on the line time and time again for us and now hopefully in Carlos he has a solid partner that will take some of the responsibility and it will help Mings step up another level. Mcginn has been inconsistent, as has all of our midfield for the last 3 seasons in the PL. The key here for me is having players that are capable to rotate and not burn out (as what happened to Ramsey at a point last season), we can then freshen things up in the middle from game to game (and bring players on with 20-30 mins to go without a drop in quality) and get more out of players. We absolutely need another cm to compete with Mcginn and Ramsey.

    I would say it’s down to both of them scoring the same number of goals as their expected goals. We need to create more chances for our forwards. I know it’s easy to remember a big miss in a game from one of the forwards but they have shown that both of them perform consistently to the standard that is expected statistically, hopefully with a better defensive base our creative players will create more for our forwards. We also need be harder to score against, hopefully that will be the case with the additions of Carlos and Kamara. It may also give our English players more determination that they have missed out on this squad for the nations league, they will all need to up their performance if they are to make it in the World Cup squad

    We need Watkins to improve his decision making also. There were a few times last season he could have squared the ball for a tap in and instead he smashes it straight at a defender that stood in front of him. If he adds assists to his game, he and Ings could be a deadly partnership

    I think SG will want to have a look at Archer and give him a run in preseason before deciding whether to keep him around or send him out on loan. This will delay a forward coming in until late in the window unless there is an opportunity too good for us to miss out on
  16. Villa Stu
    Could that be down to how Brighton play though? They tend to be happy to keep the ball and pass sideways all game, with a manager with a more attack minded approach he may look to progress the ball more to the creative players further up the pitch. Either way, he improves our midfield

    I’m loving that we are signing players that will make us harder to beat. If we get Bissouma our midfield options will be phenomenal and along with Kamara and Carlos, it really should help us to hold on to games
  18. Villa Stu
    El Ghazi had a few penalties as well to be fair though
  19. Villa Stu
    The only reason we can’t sign him is because it won’t be on loan
  20. Villa Stu
    That is some team there. Strengthened the spine massively and added a lot of steel but also improving ball retention capabilities
  21. Villa Stu
    Do you think that would make us better? Watkins isn’t the best out wide and if he was to he tends to be put on the left so where would that leave coutinho? If it was 18 months ago firminho I agree would be an upgrade but now I’m not so sure. We need to not overhype Iroegbunam too much. He looks a fantastic prospect and should be in and around the first team but as with any youth player there are no guarantees so if we are to sell one of Nakamba or luiz I would want a replacement to come in. For me I would be happy with Ginter, one or two from Kamara, bissouma, Grillistch or kondogbia and for upfront I would try and go all out for Nunez as unrealistic as that is he is the type of quality that we need to be looking at
  22. Villa Stu
    Is this serious? Genuine question as if we had someone like Firminho we would need goal scoring wide forwards which we currently don’t have. Is he also much of an upgrade to what we have now? We have an issue at DM and you want to sell one of ours and not replace? Tapsoba isn’t a bad shout for CB but we would need more than 2 signing plus making the other 2 permanent to really kick on. Midfield is crying out for upgrades
  23. Villa Stu
    I read it as the £20m will be basing it on his Kondogbia valuation or even less if it’s Kamara on a free with a big sign on bonus
  24. Villa Stu
    You’re right, there’s very little chance we would get him, but we need to be going for players of that quality. Keep spunking big money on players because they have had one or two decent season in the championship and we won’t improve enough, I’m not saying they are bad players but we need to aim higher now
  25. Villa Stu
    Make coutinho and Olsen permanent. I would love it if we could get Nunez. We would have to go big but if we are clever with the other incomings and manage to get a few out it would be worth it. There’s quite a few very good players with contracts expiring. Hopefully we can take advantage and bring a couple in. Ginter, Tarkowski or Saiss for cb, Kamara or Grillitsch - we could do with both Finally and most importantly we could get Januzaj
