Vive_La_Villa Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 I just think there is a lot more to come from Sanchez but Westwood is as good as he is going to get. Wouldn't be bothered if either of them left to be honest.I expect that Westwood will be one of the first names on the team sheet next season.I disagree. Squad player at best.Squad player yeah.had a better season than Sanchez to move Weshwood on and keep Sanchez because he does well for his country is idiotic If he kept Sanchez for that reason and that reason only that would be pretty stupid. If he kept Sanchez because he feels he is needed in his position and role but sells Westwood because has signed replacements for his type of game then would that be so bad?

BOF Posted July 13, 2015 Moderator Share Posted July 13, 2015 IMO Sanchez is better at what he does than Westwood is at what he does. But they both do very different things and Westwood's position is the more demanding and difficult. His task is to run the show. Sanchez's is to break things up. I can't work out what Westwoods role actually is. He has a good touch and reads the game well but is pretty ineffective at attacking and also pretty average at defending. He seems to be good at passing the ball around the middle of the pitch. His job is to do a bit of absolutely everything. He'll sometimes break up play around our own box. He'll sometimes find himself coming on to phase 2 of a corner or set piece to have a pot shot. Generally he'll receive the ball in the centre of the park and his job will be to instigate the next attack. He's the string puller which is a massive responsibility because his performance largely dictates our performance. But he'll never stand out, much in the same way that Carrick never stands out for United, yet they nearly always win when he's in the team. I do think Westwood can still get better though. I wouldn't say he's as good as he's going to get. That particular midfield position gets better with experience. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'If' a better replacement direct for Westwood then yes Would Gueye not be off in january with his country? as the squad stands at the minute i wouldnt get rid of either 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KSV Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 IMO Sanchez is better at what he does than Westwood is at what he does. But they both do very different things and Westwood's position is by far the more demanding and difficult. His task is to run the show. Sanchez's is to break things up. At his best, Sanchez is the better player. But that appears to be about one game in ten. When he's bad, he's shocking. Westwood is far more consistent. Obviously, the hope is that Sanchez will settle more this season and improve his consistency. But in the immediate future it should be Westwood starting ahead of Sanchez. We will see the real Sanchez this year. Imo he looked unfit for the premier league which caused the lapses in his game. International football is a different style. A good pre season for him and he will be a different player. Hope he's back training soon IMO Sanchez is better at what he does than Westwood is at what he does.

Shomin Geki Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Jesus, the links keep on coming! When it rains it pours... Couldn't we just round up all these fine gentleman and make them Hunger Games it out for our eternal affection? Side point: Birmingham will burn to the ground if, come the start of the season, more than 80% of these links turn out to be red herrings.

Daweii Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 I'd take Adebayor in an extremely cut price capacity as the guy on his day can make any defender look average, but only if Spurs take care of most of what makes him unattainable. That said looking at his goal stats he looks no better than Benteke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And sometimes that chance of a pot shot never comes to him. And sometimes it looks like he's busy daydreaming about that Michael Carrick Shiny he swapped his lunch for. He's a sometimes player that so often doesn't. The superficial resemblance to Sir Carrick is what keeps us all oddly tantalised methinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dn1982 Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 I'd only take Adebayor on a free and on decent ages. He isn't worth £5m he's 31 and has a lot of crap going on in his life which would make him a liability but if we could get him playing he'd be a decent signing. For £5m you could pick up a striker off the continent it'd be just as risky but there'd be a sell on fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limvillian Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 That said looking at his goal stats he looks no better than Benteke. In my book that's pretty good. But IMO he's not as good as Benteke . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah true, it is probably slightly harsh but fair. His problem is that on the occasions when he 'does', it's not very apparent because it's not a Hollywood position. Let's hope the resemblance becomes less superficial this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Adebayor only as a last ditch punt if we're left on deadline day with no Benteke replacement. Only time it would be worth the risk for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Being linked with Sergi Darder. http://www.calcionews24.com/l-aston-villa-vuole-chiudere-per-darder-450068.html CALCIOMERCATO INTER ROMA ASTON VILLA Darder - After toying with the idea of playing in the Italian league for Sergi Darder I can open wide the doors of the Premier League. The Spanish midfielder ofMálaga , has learned by our staff, it is close to closing with Aston Villa. There is an agreement with Malaga for a figure close to ten million Euros but the club of Birmingham should be finalized before the two supplies. ROME WINDOW - Darder like Inter and love to Rome where he Sabatini in a fan. The player and his entourage are in question with Aston Villa and could come soon for the white smoke. Can't say I know much about him. Another British Spurs reject, **** off Sherwood you BNP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
