Or maybe even Ibrahima Niane of Metz who is a good, young striker. 20 year old Senegal u20 international player.

Nope I’ve been lots games where player hasn’t even made Matchday squad or came off bench. It’s s hope they play situation for scouts otherwise it’s to again another week did Habib Diallo play for Metz in the game ?

Played the full 90 mins and got a 5.9 on Whoscored. was the worst player on the pitch according to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 Really wished we got Maupay and Benrahma over the line. 1 injury to Kodjia and 1 suspension to Trez and suddenly Keinan Davis is our only attacking option off the bench. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshVilla Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 (edited) We really shot ourselves in the foot not bringing in another forward player. Having to rely on a relative unknown in Wesley with only Kodija and Davis as backup is almost as bad as last season with the CB situation. Really not looking forward to Jan when were held to ransom by teams because they know how desperate we will be.

DCJonah Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 I hope the next 10 minutes proves me wrong. But our attackers are not premier league quality. Keeper, defence and midfield all sorted. We **** up with wingers and striker. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

penguin Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 (edited) Can see us being in for Bowen, hopefully. Our wide options are really poor. In Jan. Edited September 16, 2019 by penguin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaAlex Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 So frustrating that as fans we saw we needed another striker/winger and now it's costing us dearly. It's understandable that it's hard to get these things over the line but we have really shot ourselves in the foot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villaglint Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 We went for a stable base in the summer but we’ve left ourselves short upfront. It was kind of obvious that’s the annoying thing. Spending 24 million on two DMs, 12m on a reserve CB and £14m on a reserve LB is looking like it would have made a big big difference spent further up the pitch.
