Similarly to how we felt in the last season in the Premier League with all the signings. "More than good enough to stay up" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 11 hours ago, delboy54 said: Hi all Might be slightly off topic...but relevant to next Summer!.... Interesting to read yesterday that Newcastle (well Rafa) was saying how difficilt it is to sign players now they are in the premier league due to the huge and crazy transfer fees. Of course the mighty Villa will be promoted at the end of this upcoming season, but does this mean that we could be in the same position needing to recruit more players for life in the premier league? Regards to all Del For me personally it's why I'd rather we'd signed more of the likes of bree and hopefully over the next year green, RHM and Davis have to play, we should have signed more prospects who play plenty of games and develop in time for the club to play in the prem ill use that neves kid at Wolves as an example, probably not good enough right at 20 now to play 38 games in the Prem at a decent level every week but in 2 years time if wolves got promoted at 22 I think he's got potential to star every week in 38 games in the Prem cut our losses with tish and Gardner, I don't think for a minute chalobah is the answer but go find another player of his ilk and age and develop him ready for promotion 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveAV1 Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 12 hours ago, TRO said: Its interesting this system thing and I am not saying you don't need one, but does it stop a player from : trapping the ball Getting a tackle in closing down getting close to an opponent passing the ball consistently getting beat in one on ones letting an opponent go by you not reading the game I understand that any team has to have organisation and method and it does have a knock on effect to the player......but I have seen players with some of the above and do have to wonder how much the system plays a part. I remember Bill Shankly being asked " Bill,what do you look for in a player".....he relied " Ah Laddie if he cannot pass the ball he is no good to me" bit simplistic yes.....but the guys do have to be able to cope with the basics......and sometimes last season i was struggling to see it......maybe more time together will help? If players don't need a system to be able to do the basics on your list, why do they need time? If anything the argument should be they need time to learn a system. Or is it the manager that needs the time? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't expect anyone other than SJ to come through the door until more players have been shifted. The squad is already bloated as hell, we must have about 30 "firsf team" players. We need to concentrate on getting the abundance of talent playing and shifting some of the garbage ( which seems more and more unlikely each week) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying Tish > Neves - but if you're going to argue for signing people like Neves and cut our losses with Tish then we'll be going round in circles.
