    Yes but we play Chelsea before spurs play again. If we win that game, spurs might capitulate as it will be a nigh insurmountable gap. That being said we need to go out and beat Chelsea.

    We absolutely need both. Do you forget how great we were before Kamara got injured. We won 13, drew 2 and lost 4 from 19 games he was fully available for (lost United game after he was injured so won't count that). 41 points in 19 games. That's looking like it might be enough to win the league this year. Plus we will have champions/europa league next season, which is against harder competition. And I would prefer if we weren't so pathetic in the cups. Plus Kamara won't be back until December so we will be without both if we sell one in the summer until January basically.

    In order of priority - DM - We have a bunch of players who can play the 8 role Luiz normally fills but without Kamara they all have to play in position worse for them. We also lack physicality in the middle and signing a more imposing DM could help us a lot on set pieces and vs more physical but less technically gifted teams like those we faced in the conference league. RB - For Obvious reasons, Cash is our weakest rotation player, and signing a better RB gives us more CB depth to as we can then play Konsa either at RB or RCB. LB - Digne and Moreno are both in their 30s. Now is the time to sell at least one. We don't want to end up at a point in 2-3 years time where they are both regressing and we can't find any buyers for them. 5th CB - Depending on where the club think Mings is, this one may need to be more regular than we might think but if Mings is good we only really just need one for depth (specifically Mings and Carlos injuries). Potentially if we sign someone like hermoso on a free he could fill in as both a LB and 5th choice CB, and would free us to sell both digne and Moreno and sign another attacking LB without compromising our defence. AFAIK we will also be forced into signing Ramsey and Archer and perhaps we can bring back philogene. If that is the case than that is probably all the attacking reinforcements we need.

    Think the only time we should see diaby through the Middle is when Bailey is also down the right otherwise I'd prefer him to be more of a true winger and have Rogers in the centre who can use his physicality to battle the CBs and come short.

    I mean statistically that's not true. I can't profess to have watched enough to say whether it's exactly true or not. His last season at Leverkusen Bailey averaged a goal or assist every 110 minutes in all comps, 15 goals and 11 assists in 40 appearances. This year he's averaging a goal or assist every 103, 14 goals and 13 assists in 43 games For diaby last season it was 142, remarkably close to his record in the prem at 144, 14 goals and 13 assists in 48 appearances. He was better the previous season with 17 goals and 14 assists in 42 appearances making a 115mins per g+a ratio, the year before that was 123 minutes per contribution with 10 goals and 15 assists in 3076 minutes. Baileys best season at Leverkusen he produced at a higher rate than diaby, and as we know is a better dribbler and more of a threat to start counters with his long passing. Diaby may have had a better all round game though. They are still remarkably similar statistically of course. And I would mot be shocked if diaby makes a big improvement next season as he can really drill into emery's tactics and gets more used to the physicality of the prem.

    It was like 5.5+Azaz+like 7 mil in bonuses.
  7. MotoMkali
    Certainly he comes straight back in. I imagine for Diaby but it could easily be Bailey against Chelsea if he is injured or Rogers if we want to put mcginn on the left. We are gaging for depth right now especially with Zaniolos injury.

    It's a very rare quality for a winger to be such an excellent passer on through balls. It's part of why he looks so dangerous when he has Rogers or Diaby ahead of him their ability to run in behind gives him more options. Cut inside himself, drive down the touchline, or pick out one of the 3 other forwards ahead of him.
  9. MotoMkali
    Despite a bad run of form he's still averaging a goal or assist every 169 minutes in all comps (plus he forced 3 own goals too). A Goal Contribution every 144 minutes in the prem.
  10. MotoMkali
    His feet are so much better these days too. Did a lovely roullete between 2 defenders in like the 87th minute.
  11. MotoMkali
    He's so good at reading the game there was a moment where outtara won the ball off of digne and was charging on with a counterattack and Tielemans placed himself perfectly to intercept the through ball to Kluivert which pwuod have otherwise been a 1 on 1.

    Matty Cash

    MotoMkali replied to paul514's topic in Villa Talk

    Cash is pretty much average at anything which on paper is fine, but it makes him very tactically weak. You aren't as strong defensively as if you had a pure defensive RB for instance when we play Konsa at RB. And he's not good enough going forward when Kamara used to drop into RB position. If you replaced him with a more capable full back we'd look so much more dangerous going forward or much more solid defensively
  13. MotoMkali
    That's what I meant. In the SS role next to Watkins.
  14. MotoMkali
    There is a lot of quality in the championship. We signed Watkins and Konsa from the championship, we had Mings, Mcginn and Grealish in the championship too. Cash as well though he's more like a bottom half RB.
  15. MotoMkali
    Yep, could easily be Ramsey or Rogers through the Middle as well. Ginny turns 30 next season. By the time Ramsey and Rogers are 24 he'll be 33 or so and will be winding down.
  16. MotoMkali
    No Bailey is. Brilliant ball to Rogers put the ball on a plate for diaby earlier. Played 3 successful through balls into the box
  17. MotoMkali
    Smacked off of Netos head
  18. MotoMkali
    What a goal by Rogers, amazing pass by Bailey
  19. MotoMkali
    Bailey been brilliant so far
  20. MotoMkali
    I remember the good. Him being shit for 119 minutes outweighs him scoring an open goal and a penalty though.
  21. MotoMkali
    Just unrelenting fouling by bournemouth
  22. MotoMkali
    How was that not a foul by zabarnyi
  23. MotoMkali
    Yes, he was disastrous and hamstrung us on offence all game. And The first goal came because he and Mcginn didn't mark the full back and the 2nd one wouldn't have happened if Carlos was playing because the ball went right over cash's head.
  24. MotoMkali
    He was dogshit aside from his goal and penalty vs lille.
  25. MotoMkali
    Looks like diaby caught it in the coccyx. His reaction isn't a dive but pulling up in pain. Pretty blatant foul to me.
