We should look at loaning Michael Cuissance from Bayern Munich... 21 year old central midfielder who would be excellent to challenge with Mcginn and i still would want a Rashica type as LW ... apparently elmo is favoured over guilbert if that is the case i have zero faith in our management. Barkley will do i suppose but in an realistic world if we turned back on the interest we could go for cuisance. Martinez Cash Konsa Mings Targett Luiz Mcginn/Cuisance Grealish Traore Rashica Watkins Sub:Nyland,Guilbert, Hourihane,Davis,Hause, Trezeguet, Cuisance/Mginn

Barkleys miss last night

I really hope you are right the wait is excruciating and it needs to happen asap!

I want Rashica or some winger signed in time to play our next match against fulham or play some part at least i dont want no waiting until deadline day that doesnt sit right with me. Why are we waiting 3 matches in to get a player that is priority and needed quickly imo.

Sarr would be amazing if we didn’t already bring in Traore Because then we could have had Sarr and possibly Rashica on either side now that would have been mouthwatering to watch.

Konsa was tonights MOM imo and i still feel a CB will be required to possibly rotate with him in case he drops in consistency. Cash looks like the best RB ive seen in years at VP albeit its only his first match ill not get carried away... still uncertain about Watkins definitely going to need more support closer to him around the box area. Martinez I absolutely love the guy not just the superb penalty save but his attitude and desire and what he said about the club.. his statement alone was worth the money we paid for him.. he will always have a place in my heart aslong as he carries that attitude throughout his time here and thats what football is about. Rashica and a CM please guys!

Extremely unfair and not true ... barkley has got a good attitude hes not a regular for chelsea but doesn’t kick up a fuss and puts in effort when called upon

All this would be nice but we wont have the budget for all that im afraid. Rashica and a centre mid at a push.

I agree hause makes me uncomfortable lol. I want rashica holding up that villa shirt this week and a CM would be okay but not essential if we bring grealish into the middle because then we remove hourihane from the equation. But it would be nice yes

Yeah Any of which would be fantastic... good possession tonight from the boys ... need a couple more in and lets roll on the fixtures.

Grujic maybe its a no to the rest

I hear you loud and clear and you have made a great analysis of the current affairs ... i agree its not filling me with much confidence.. i don't want to say too much as it can be seen as negative but i feel the money spent so far could have bought better quality players that we can feel more comfortable with going into the new season.. some of us might be getting carried away saying we will be a frightening team and so on.. but theres nothing there that indicates we will be anything close to frightening imo. Overall so far on the scale of 1-10 its 4 for improvement.

I hear many saying we trust in the club we trust in the board to do this and that .. well i just remember us signing swansea citys third choice striker That was enough for me

Mmmm.. wouldnt be villa like to make more than two in a week so we can cross that one out

Feels like the only player im going to feel excited about would be Rashica if he comes because all of our signings I've felt nothing towards... nothing against them they just didnt give me the slightest thrill.. i need that player thats gonna give me even a fraction of excitement. Like the way i felt when we signed borja baston i need that feeling again... just kidding

Running and getting underneath the ball i can agree with to an extent but not his shooting ... you probably need to analyse that a little bit more and you will certainly agree

Weve had 4 players in so this throws me off by a mile... someone elaborate please

Excellent points i feel the same way but just to add to that yes i feel we may add more in January as we cant get it all done now. I would add a CM into the fold.. it would have been great if we could have secured a player like Ethan Ampadu he seems a great fit still quite young and not expected to start every game but would push the competition in the midfield places as there seems to be none. Maybe another forward but if Rashica can play as a striker too than its not essential. And we cant change too much at one time so only 5 players max should be starters straight away. We should try and get a loan deal for Cuissance from bayern tidy class player in centre midfield. Very sceptical about Traore as its not like it was a team like barca or bayern that pushed him down the pecking order it was Lyon.. however i do have to remind myself they were semi-finalists.

Wow... Tammys technique when he strikes the ball ... go and look at his performance against norwich at carrow road last year .. theres more examples but thats one that springs to mind . Tammy is a natural his technique when striking the ball is premier league level .. now if you look at Odsonne Edouard he doesn't look like he strikes it cleanly ever in the highlights ive seen of him so would u suggest hes not also going to be a player that would improve us more than watkins. Now watkins can strike the ball well with great technique but ive just seen it to be a limited area where he scores from ive not seen anything from outside the area or such... im hoping he can show that this season with us

I have to agree here.. last season was much more exciting until we seen them perform Hopefully this one may turn out to be a case of less exciting names but more about performing

we just love to see it ... the way many of their fans talk down to Villa makes me sick. Honestly i wish that friendly was a premier league match id be all over Twitter making noise

Yeah ive rated him highly hes wasting away at Chelsea and needs a move asap ! Would love him at Villa i feel Smith would get the best out of him good ole ross barkley . Any update on Rashica

Well im not ITK but its fairly comfortable to say he is part of the club unofficially however , its funny you say that as the first player i thought of was actually Eriksen but i used a realistic target instead to spice up the transfer talk... yeah eriksen is the perfect player in that part of the pitch to cause problems... in tonights game other than grealish many of the players don't look sharp enough to even make our bench and thats not because its one of the first games but because they are not good enough at this level nowhere near in fact. But we will see who they are targeting very soon.. before our game on monday i need to see another midfielder signed at least but im probably asking for too much.

Okay good points.. if we play grealish on the left we need a bloody damn good AM maybe the guy from Valencia Uros Racic or someone of that calibre for me to feel comfortable that we have enough quality in that midfield because i don’t believe Traore and Grealish will give us enough quality in that midfield. So we need to ensure that we do exactly that if we want to have Grealish playing at LW

If we were to play Grealish on the left then it would only be if we had a player like Christian Eriksen through the middle at CAM . Of course a more realistic target but someone with the same qualities and playing style other than that Grealish should be in that position as we have more options to get someone else at LW
