daggy_333 Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 One of the things i noticed yesterday was just how slow our team is. We have very little pace in our team. I'd love to see that rectified at some point! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demitri_C Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Hmm Interesting!! Quote MAUPAY-DAY Aston Villa lining up swoop for in-form Brentford striker Neal Maupay Frenchman would be an ideal replacement for Tammy Abraham, who's been on loan at Villa, but is set to join Wolves By Dave Fraser 6th January 2019, 4:45 pm Updated: 6th January 2019, 5:09 pm ASTON VILLA are lining up a swoop for 16-goal Brentford striker Neal Maupay. The Frenchman, 22, would be an ideal replacement for Tammy Abraham, who has been on loan at Villa from Chelsea this season, but is set to join Premier League side Wolves. Neal Maupay could be on his way to Aston Villa this month Get the best Football stories with our daily newsletter Your information will be used in accordance with our privacy policy Former Bees boss Dean Smith, now in charge at the Midlands club, took Maupay to Griffin Park from Saint-Etienne in the summer of 2017. The fee then was around £2million, but Villa could expect to pay at least three times that to Championship rivals Brentford, who are experts at getting top dollar for their players. The London club banked £7m last week when midfielder Ryan Woods, signed from Shrewsbury for £1m, made his move to Stoke permanent. Frenchman Maupay has scored 15 of Brentford’s 36 Championship goals this season, and cracked a late winner from the penalty spot in Saturday’s 1-0 FA Cup third-round victory over Oxford. Neal Maupay scored in the FA Cup win over Oxford yesterday Bees boss Thomas Frank admitted there was no guarantee that he could keep his top scorer. The Dane said: “We hope he stays here for a long, long time. But with good players, we never ever know what happens with them.” Meanwhile, Wolves have accepted a bid from Aston Villa for Kortney Hause. The 23-year-old centre-back will now complete a move to Villa Park when he undergoes a medical and negotiates personal terms. Maupay would be a excellent signing and is very young. I would b thrilled with him as tammys replacement. Also looks like Hause is coming. Although I thought he had a foot injury?? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demitri_C Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Maupay was really good in the game at villa park. We just could not contain him. He is a right pest and has a nasty side to him. Something I feel.our side lacks. Without question he will come if we pay what brentford want 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romavillan Posted January 6, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted January 6, 2019 Maupay on a permanent contract would be better than a loan signing. We could really do with a CB and a couple of fullbacks ASAP. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted January 6, 2019 Moderator Share Posted January 6, 2019 I really don't think we will be trying to sign Maupay. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshVilla Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 The balance of the team is horribly wrong. We need to sort the shit defense out as a priority otherwise we could sign Neymar and it wouldn't matter. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markavfc40 Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 (edited) I'd be surprised if we could afford Maupay. We paid Brentford 10 mill for Hogan a couple of years ago and I'd imagine they'd be looking for a similar fee. I just can't see us spending anything like that having already spent 6 mill on a keeper. If Abraham goes it may well mean relying on Kodjia, Davis and Hogan and I think if we can continue to create chances, as we have for much of Smiths time, then Kodjia would certainly thrive through the middle again.

The Fun Factory Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 (edited) A decent central defender, a pacy left back, a young mobile defensive midfielder and possibly a striker. No pressure. Jedinak, Moreira to leave, O'Hare out on loan. Beg Richards to terminate his contract early if any possibility.

Anything relying on hogan in afraid results in no promotion. He has been a complete and utter flop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted January 6, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted January 6, 2019 Yep, no TA replacement and we’re looking at long term promo challenge. Am sure Kodjia can score a few in meantime, but wouldn’t want us to overpay for maupay. Got to be discussions at least, given DS history with player and recent come get me plea.

Popular Post M_Afro Posted January 6, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted January 6, 2019 Not bothered about signing a striker. We have loads of them! I would much rather we bought some quality defenders and midfield players. That way we can totally dominate games requiring only 1 or 2 goals for 3 points. The amount of chances we create would be sufficient for Kodjia to score enough when backed up by the midfield. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
