Villa Gaffa

What changes in the way we play has anyone noticed now Critchley has replaced Beale ? Has anything changed or is it still too early to notice considering Critchley didn't go to Australia ?

I think its a great shirt and hopefully mine arrives in Australia before i go to the perth game against Man u. Really looking forward to seeing the other shirts revealed. It really feels like exciting times are ahead with the club at the moment.

Hes not the most gifted player in our squad but he deserves some credit for improving since he first came to the club. He is superb in the air !

when it comes to passing he is a toe poker

Its starting to look like we have already done our big signings for this window. Maybe the uncertainty with FFP is playing a part. We obviously have money but don't seem to be making bids so the club could be restricted by whatever they have been told is happening with FFP. If we wanted a player then I think we would have bid and got the deal sorted to get the player asap so we can have the squad sorted as early as possible.

This is how I want us to start the season. Traore El Ghazi J Ramsey Nakamba Wesley Trezeguet Chukwuemeka and Philogene -Bidace and Barry still provide decent depth

a fresh start in a positive but familiar atmosphere might be what he needs. We need someone to come in for engels who wont be signed as first choice starter. Its not an obsession its a suggestion for a player the club knows in a position we need to fill

They wouldnt let engels leave unless they were confident in completing a deal or have already have completed a deal for a replacement. Will we see a new signing this week ? if we do then the club is absolutely steam rolling through this transfer window

If sergio ramos goes to man utd then axel tuanzebe would surely be sold. We would be a good chance of landing him now engels is gone.

I think we will be looking for a player who can carry the ball forward in an attacking sense like ross barkley did for us. They dont have to be a super star on big wages they just need some skill and a good attitude and just give us that forward momentum so we can counter attack through Jack and ollie. I dont think Jacob Ramsey is capable of doing this yet and its too much pressure to rely on a youth player to start the season in this position. If Jack starts in the middle then the new player can settle in and be a back up. If we buy another attacking midfielder Im just not sure how we manage sanson, mcginn, luiz, ramsey, nakamba, jack and some game time for chukwuemeka

He is a long way off his early season form and will find it hard to get his rhythm back in time for the euros. He doesn't look like he could handle 45 mins at the moment so that will make it hard for him

He has to be part of the squad next season. Depending on who we sign he can start on the left with jack playing central

I have always followed Aston Villa since Bosnich came to the club. It would be great to post on the forum instead of just checking in on the posts. Thanks.
