Gary Thomas Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 (edited) Probably in the minority, but I am not worried who it is as long as they help us score more goals. I would be happy with Wells, Hernandez, Bamford or whoever –they are all goal scorers who would strengthen our squad and make promotion more likely. Good time to be a Villa fan right now!!

From the limited footage I've seen he doesn't appear to be a conventional central midfielder, so would probably either have to play off the left (Grealish's position) or off the forward (with McCormack moving to number 9) to get the best out of him. But stand to be corrected. McCormack is not a number 9. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobzy Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Wells looks a good player - but doesn't fit the "World Class" tag. I'd be keen on signing him though. Or Bamford. Or Huntelaar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enough to win every game 3/4 - nil. I've only seen sheffield and Derby. We didn't create many chances. Im not counting long shots as chances as it's self made. We don't have the killer ball. McCormack seems to be the closest too but we need him at the end of them. Granted Huddersfield sounds like we created plenty. Maybe away from home we are finding it harder.

Guest av1 Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 The great thing is, after the business so far, i have total faith that whoever comes in will really strengthen the team/squad. Its been a long time since i could say that. I look forward to the week ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a a link if i remember correctly but the baggied have a £20m plus bid rejected by SP, seems destined for the PL by all accounts. Yes, I think that one rings some bells. Thank you and well remembered. it is all getting very interesting. A number 9 with mobility is just what this forward line needs. Hopefully it happens before Saturday.

useless Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Zaha's been getting a few mentions on twitter over the last few days. But not sure if positionally, he's the type of player we will be going for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dont_do_it_doug. Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 @KSV I figured as much as I know you live in Oz. We also had a shot cleared off the line and the Kozak chance against Derby, though admittedly we didn't click as well in that game as we have done previously. I would say that overall we are creating plenty and it's a bit too soon for me to start wondering about home/away trends. I also think that players creating chances for themselves counts as a chance created. I'm confident that our first XI will score goals, but I'm not confident we have the depth required to do so for another 42 games. A striker is absolute priority for me at the moment and I'm pleased that they seem to feel the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 (edited) Xia denies the Zaha rumours. Or rather suggests that we were in for him, but were being used. Edited August 22, 2016 by useless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
