If we had taken our 'easy' (relatively speaking) chances we would have finished very close to the top 4.
This for me is a massive positive because it shows we're not far off just need that extra bit of killer instinct. Say last season if we had Buendia and Jack I think we'd be easily making reservations for Madrid Barcelona et al.
I think we're going to have a good un. The addition of Buendia from a purely defensive POV makes me very confident that we'll cause a lot of damage again this season.
Edit : I'd love us to sacrifice someone to wipe out the sabre toothed knobend when we play the scummy barstools of Stretford.
Exactly! Great post. I'm sure there's cheap options with potential in the championship. Josh King is no better than what we have. I'd rather Barry or Brad Jones cover Watkins than Josh King. He's injury prone too.
I don't know about you mofo's but this signing for me has the potential to be as effective as the sabre toothed prick has been for Scumchester United.
I think I have to readjust my pre season prediction of top 10 to top 7 now just with Buendia alone. All because of his pressing.
Villa SupaSarr, that is what you are
Comin from Dakar, Reachin for the stars
Run away with me, to another place
We can rely on each other, uh-huh
From one corner, to another, uh-huh
He's definitely a CDM. All it is he breaks forward a bit more than most CDM types I remember his really brutal powerful shot. I watched Metz v Lille and Nice but that was because I wanted to watch Bamba and Ikone for Lille and for ocg nice I wanted to see Khephren Thuram.
I remember his tackling looked a bit feisty. He looked good.
Directly translated spenst is agility. Which would make sense however might be better to use power to describe that jumping attribute. Alan Wright had great agility too.
I'm a firm believer the better pressers we have then the more ball players we can have. Ollie jack and Buendia are a very good 3 for pressing. Sanson McGinn and Luiz behind them will be pretty good supporting the press too.
Decent player plenty of potential. I've got BT SPORT so watched a few French ligue 1 games. Personally I'd prefer K.Thuram or Kamara from Marseille. But Sarr isn't bad and can thrive and improve. Has a ridiculously powerful shot though.
Whether we get him or not is one thing but I really liked his tenacity and tackling against Romania. If that's what he brings along with his good passing, positioning and his set pieces then yes please.
