Solidarity with a fellow old ‘un. I remember.
-
Tarkowski gives us the opportunity to go 3 at the back.
-
Probably, although I’d play him ahead of AEG. Let’s be honest though, the real reason he’s coming is to help his mate Lukaku settle when he joins from Inter as well.
-
Ok, so currently, when Jack gets injured next, our front 4 will be: Ollie Young. Emi. Traore That feels so much better. Crack on with the next signing please....
-
Only 38th percentile for pressures ?? Not really our thing these days.
-
A little more eloquent than my post but yes, this.
-
They’ve also shown they’re not ready to spunk £20m up the wall for a left back that may not be any better than the current incumbent. (What I like to call an ‘O’Neill’) Maybe they’ve decided to give Targett another season, see if he continues on his development and then look again at that position next season or the one after that. Instead directing investment to areas with a great need than back up LB ?
-
Ibrahimovic led Utd to a League Cup and Europa League trophy at the same age. He provides cover in all manner of places and fills the dressing room with winning experience. Given the current squad, I’d be starting him on the wing (ahead of AEG) with Jack in the middle.
-
I’d expect Barry to come through playing wide left, rather than ‘up front’.
-
We could rotate Ollie out of that starting position. Either on to the bench, for a rest, or to LW, which would allow the 2nd choice striker (Wood etc) game time.
-
LW = AEG with Watkins as 3rd choice, but only if you rate your support striker.
-
It’s Kane. He’s 27 and has played in a Champs League final. Admits to loving playing with Grealish. Lets drop a £120m bid in and see what happens.
-
I’ve seen Deano, on a few occasions, make reference to the third summer window being the one where you fill out your squad depth. So 1 more record signing, then LB cover, RB/CB cover, then the decision as to whether you keep Wes or loan him out and bring in alternative cover.
-
Saw an interview with Jack where he said, with England, there’s loads of players that can take advantage of the free kicks that he wins, but not so much at Villa. Thought that was strange, makes sense if we are trying to sign JWP ??
-
If we’re buying JWP and Buendia with Jack still at the club, would tend to mean 1 of 2 things: 1). They are spending the money we’d get from Jack and pocketing the change. (Doesn’t sound like our owners), or 2). We are confident Jack is staying. Sounds a lot more likely to be 2). I get the feeling Jack’s agreed a new deal, only to be signed and announced after all our in comings (Avoiding wage inflation).
-
Think having both Jack and Buendia on the pitch will help with maintaining possession, which will help reduce this.
-
This Grealish / Kane love in has got me thinking....... Kane Watkins. Grealish. Buendia McGinn. Luiz Targett. Mings. Konsa. Cash Martinez Honestly think the money is there if Kane would come
-
Have you mentioned this to Gareth Southgate ??
-
Sounds like an AV source leaking a bullsh*t story, putting pressure on Chelsea, intimating that we could go elsewhere.
-
Elmo and Taylor were both on c.£40k each.
-
This. Without Jack our ball retention is woeful. To be fair was still a problem even when Jack was playing, how could we not close out that game at Burnley ????
-
FWIW - My reading of the situation is that the noises coming out the club regarding transfer activity are similar to last year. Dampen expectations, and so we will be less likely to be overcharged, like we were in our first window back in the Premier League. ‘Less than last season’ comments tend to be more aimed at quantity of players rather than fees paid. Maybe I’m being optimistic, but I’m expecting LB, ST and AM to come in, along with Guilbert returning. The other Aaron Ramsey anyone ?? Davis and Wes out on loan, along with those with contracts ending to leave.
-
With a clip of fans singing his name on Sunday.
-
Anyone else spot Tammy’s Twitter comments on Sunday, seems like it’s a no go.
-
Ronaldo?
