sheepyvillian Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 I think the Goalie will come good eventually. Remember De gea when he first landed at United ? Couldn't catch a beach ball, arguably now the best goal keeper in the Premier. I think he'll adapt sooner than people expect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villarocker Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Catching a ball is a usual thing for a goalkeeper to do regardless of the league you play in. However, comparing a young goalkeeper in De Gea to a seasoned 28 year old isn't right imo. De Gea cost a fortune for United to buy, whereas we were shopping in Poundland. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When De Gea signed for United he was considered one of the best young keepers in the world and now he has matured he is still younger than Nyland. Just don't get what learning there is in the case of De Gea, De Gea was always going to be a great keeper whilst Nyland is shithouse who has been at a low level all his career and is showing us precisely why that's the case.

Agreed, it's getting tiresome now. A world class keeper came good once, so Nyland will. Also, a 21 year old who had never left his home town club is totally different to a 28 year old international. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would massively improve us at LB. Yep, surely has to be first choice to get at LB even on loan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again, if we did, would the VP crowd still scream "ger i' forward!!!" after the 10th consecutive pass. More likely to sign Julio Geordio Edited November 4, 2018 by Villan4Life 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 21 yo with 60 odd games to his name with a top 8 la liga club before he came to England in comparison to a guy whos biggest club till now, ply their trade in Germany's 2nd division is totally different alright. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villan4Life Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 I'd like us to try and temp Moritz Leitner away from Norwich. Could be the box to box midfielder that Smith likes in his system, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrentVilla Posted November 4, 2018 Moderator Share Posted November 4, 2018 I think we need 3 players at minimum but possibly as many as 4/5. I’d say GK, LB, CB are the priorities although Elpwick returning would cover CB. Lots I would be happy to see go, plenty will be next to impossible to shift though.

Same as every window then. It's the Villa way. I'd be happy with a keeper, a full back and a sub CB. It's still a lot to ask.

alreadyexists Posted November 5, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted November 5, 2018 It feels crazy that we got two keepers in the summer window and seemingly need to buy a third in January. What is going on there!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ideally we'd be signing these sorts of players for those sorts of fees, rather than paying up to £10m for them once they have shown they are good at this level.

Johnstone also struggled when first arriving at the Villa and he wasn’t rated as one of the top young keepers in the world. Nyland just needs more time to settle but if he doesn’t settle by the January window then I’m sure DS will do something about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McGinn looks a good signing for 2m-3m. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
