    Add coutinho and a backup keeper and that’s near on a perfect window

    I agree completely. We need to get much better at squeezing as much out of other clubs as we can. Liverpool are masters at this but even clubs like Leicester and Southampton tend to do very well selling players, whereas we seem to almost give players away for peanuts

    Almost scored against Man City too, but a great save kept him out. Needs to do that more often which I’m sure will come with experience
  4. Villa Stu
    That’s fair, if a player wants to leave for game time as long as we get a decent fee. I still wouldn’t want to sell more than 1 or 2 of them though. Bailey has just come back from injury and hardly played for us. We may see him getting more game time over the last few games and traore has been injured all season pretty much too. Buendia I wouldn’t want to leave, he will play a massive part for us

    Those players would make a decent front line and could still offer us something, whether that’s starting games or being solid competition. All have a part to play so letting them all go would be madness. Letting 1 or 2 go wouldn’t be too bad but for us at the minute it would be better for us to get players in that would compliment the attacking players. Someone like Rice (unrealistic) would transform our team and we would be getting more from the players you have mentioned. We need 2 players to improve our starting 11 and maybe 1 or 2 up and coming players to cover and add competition such as at lb. The players we need to be prioritising selling are the fringe players and some of those out on loan, obviously excluding some of the highly rated youngsters

    I think Johnson is a wide player, but he has been filling in upfront whilst grabban has been injured. I can’t say I watched them before Davis went there apart from the Arsenal game. To be honest I hadn’t watched any championship games before Davis, archer and JPB went on loan
  7. Villa Stu
    Grabban is injured, Davis has been playing upfront with Brennan Johnson. They have played a 3-5-2 when I have seen them mate

    Just to add to this, we need to do better against teams when we have a lot of the ball and/or they sit back. This could have helped turn some of the losses into draws or wins, just recently there has been Watford, Brentford and Newcastle that have sat back and we have struggled to break them down, even yesterday we had quite a lot of the ball but struggled to make too many clear chances especially for the majority of the second half

    I think we are handling the situation well. He is still part of the match day squads, before his injury he was getting minutes here and there and he has been praised by gerrard on a couple of occasions in his post match interviews. Its important for us to keep managing the situation well, whether he wants to stay or not has not been declared but if we want him as part of our future then we should keep having him in the match day squads and give him some minutes here and there. If he does say at the end of the season that he wishes to leave then we shouldn’t stand in his way. All of the youth players will see that there is a pathway to the first team and if they wish to leave we will not block them. This makes us an even better prospect for young talent in the future by showing them we will not force their hand. Anyway, hopefully he stays and kicks on next season in a similar way to Ramsey this season compared to last

    It’s amazing how a few bad results can change everyone’s opinion about the squad, a few games ago there were people hoping we could push for Europe, now after a bad run none of the players are good enough. Sometimes it’s good to take a step back and review where we are. We finished 11th last season and sold our best player which set us back massively, when this happened people were saying they would take mid table again. We have had new signings that need time to settle, buendia being a prime example being written off to now being one of our better players. We have been unlucky with injuries especially with Nakamba 2.0, he is a massive loss to us at the minute, this can’t be overlooked as a massive turning point. We are not far away from where we want to be. A few new faces in- cb, dm and cm and get everyone back fit and we are in a much better position.
  12. Villa Stu
    Yeah agreed. The young lad looks a real talent. I would be happy to have him here. One to keep an eye on for sure.
  13. Villa Stu
  14. Villa Stu
    Test him at a higher level

    I too am intrigued by anel

    Or £60m without Nketiah

    Anyone else read this with Sean Connery’s voice

    I didn’t mean our team is poor now, I think we are not far at all away from being a real top force and competing for the top 8, I was comparing our first season back in the premier league with monchengladbach this season which is why I said about grealish.
  22. Villa Stu
    Yes that’s a fair point, not always the case if a team is so poor though, but you would at least expect a player of his “hyped” ability to influence results more. I have no idea about Zakaria, only what’s been put on here, Facebook and Twitter. I would prefer us to go for bissouma as he is more likely to hit the ground running than a lot of the other names mentioned
  23. Villa Stu
    Why were we with grealish? I'm not trying to stick up for him by the way, I can’t say I’ve seen him play, not that I recall anyway. I am just pointing out that it’s not down to 1 player not being as good as people say, it’s usually that the team are poor but doesn’t mean the player is
  24. Villa Stu
    Could work mate, he could raise the standards of other players like he did last season at West Ham
  25. Villa Stu
    Probably got injured signing the dotted line
