Made In Aston Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 With Smith and Purslow staying that they didn't look at Premier League recruitment until after the Millwall game, its safe to assume Guilbert was primarily brought in to play in the championship. He may still be able to step up, but I wouldn't be surprised for us to sign another RB as first choice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brumstopdogs Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 (edited) Be interesting to see how this lad gets on. Presumably he'll have to work his way into the team but looking forward to him being given a chance. Edited June 2, 2019 by Brumstopdogs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be nice to have a Villa WAG actually, only had a Small Heath one and an Olbiyun one so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does make you wonder, doesn't it, especially when Purslow said post-game words to the effect of us being a year ahead of schedule in terms of expectations. Maybe he goes out on loan next season. To Derby or another team that isn't Dirty Leeds or Scum Alliance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I don’t see us paying more than 6m to get another RB which won’t get us much better than him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post MaVilla Posted June 15, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 15, 2019 (edited) this is actually the most i have managed to find on him so far, 5 minutes of effective play. looks pretty decent, but some of those slide tackles he likes might get him in trouble in the Prem, either by foul or losing his man while hes on his ass, might need to learn to stand up a bit more.

Tomaszk Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 Thanks, not seen that before. Two feet is nice. Excited to see how he fits in. Currently he's the only one of the back 4 that will lineup v Spurs at the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may still be able to step up, but I wouldn't be surprised for us to sign another RB as first choice. Whether we achieved promotion this year or next, the aim was to achieve it in relatively short order and therefore to be a premier league team whilst his contract was still in its infancy. We are only looking to buy players who can be part of that journey and thus I believe he was purchased as someone who can play at that level. He looks to be a good footballer who can cover both sides of defence as a full back or wing back. I think our blue print will be to sign good young football players who can be developed and cover various positions. This will be essential as we try to build a squad. I expect him to be starting against Spurs. He also looks to be able to spot a good long pass which could hopefully be a useful weapon for fast counter attacks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
