Wezbid Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 Butland £30m or Etheridge for £10m? (If accurate) If they cost the same, I'd still pick Etheridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was the point in signing Kalinic exactly? Seems the club took about two days to decide he was shite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He rightly says it’s a flawed model, where you improve other teams players and end up having to offer more money for them. He did: “.....that’s a bad business model. That’s on the record”. But with an option to purchase that might be tested. I think we probably won’t loan this window unless things don’t fall into place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude is average at shot stopping, and prob the worst distribution I’ve seen in a keeper, ever. So that’s a ‘hell no’ from me. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macandally Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 4 hours ago, thunderball said: I am not suggesting we only sign Cahill and nobody else. For me its a given we get Mings, thats one down... He needs a permanent partner and I don't think Hause (utility/squad) or Chester (crocked) will be that person so we need another first choice centre back. Would love it to be Axel but this is very unlikely, and at a time when we need 10-14 signings necessity suggests that some are loans (with a view to purchase) or out of contract players. Cahill is this and ticks a lot of boxes. Signing this many players is going need compromises and creativity and this deal offers a lot of upside and could bolster the spine of the team. I get your argument but disagree. There are others like Hause, Tuanzebe and Mings out there who have the legs, talent and desire to succeed. I would take one of them all day long over a player we have to compromise our whole style of play for due to his age and lack of pace. Look back only to make sure we do not make the same mistakes, then move forward! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point exactly.another poor call from Villa. Along Vertout, Amavi and Guaye I was really sad to see him go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the thing with Etheridge though is his distribution is shocking which makes me think we will be nowhere near him. Good shot stopper i agree 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good enough for the Champions League. Good enough for Italy, for whom he’s just had his first call up. Not good enough for Mr Potato Head. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 I'd just keep Steer and Kalinic as competing against each other should help get the best out of one or the other or both. Leave funds for elsewhere, unless Kalinic feels he made the wrong move and wants to leave. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone that also knows the club and would be a decent GK addition imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The obvious issue is why was he so poor? Was it the instructions we were giving him? Was it a language or culture issue? Home sick? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 I have it on good authority Villa were in for Albrighton in the summer and January (prompting Leicester to give him a new deal). I wonder if we go in again now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaVilla Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 (edited) With the money we need to spend on the rest of the team just to get it remotely beefy enough to compete in the prem, I honestly can't see us investing in a new goalkeeper when we have steer and kalinic who was bought 6 months ago. End of the season or January?, maybe, but right now there are more pressing positions to spend money on and 100m doesn't go as far as you think when we need 10 or so outfield players.
