Wezbid Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 I'm not a fan of the older signings but for a 1/2 year deal whilst we cement ourselves, Cahill makes sense to me. His lack of games last year just means he's less burnt out to me. 33 isn't that old and he's never been about pace anyways. Mings and Cahill for a season isn't that bad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think Albrighton will add a lot to us. We need much better in his position. We’re playing with one striker, our wingers will try and cut not keep it wide. But for Cahill he will give us stability for next season atleast while we’re building our squad, and we will have a year to monitor players. Next summer we could put out whole transfer money in 3-4 marquee signings. For now we can’t do all that at once. Delph is a good option, but I’m not really sure if fans can accept him. Depends what will he cost also. All of us will prefer Milner anyway. Especially when we can get him for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need players who are really good on the ball to get Deanos system ticking, albrighton and delph are not those type of players, and not players we should want for a lot more reasons. Whats with us Villa fans, we get back in the prem and all of a sudden we want to hand 100k+ contracts to a bunch of has beens.......AGAIN. I swear we will never learn .....

Don't know why you think he's not naturally a Central Defender. Because he is not good enough in the air. The early stats showed it clearly - 37th percentile in aerials duels won (in the championship) You really rate him and I get that - I too think he will be a good player but not at CB Probably a moot point as I doubt we will be signing him Time will tell - we’ll have to agree to disagee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thunderball Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 (edited) I would have Cahill, Delph and Milner when we need 10+ signings, they wouldn’t hinder new blood development or a vibrant attacking style, they would add experience and solidity in areas where we need that not in attack. Any bottom half PL or indeed Norwich or Sheff Utd would love to be able to land those 3. We need a deep squad, we can’t just have young promise over a long tough competitive season. Delph is playing for England tonight. Milner played in the Champions league final last week, and Cahill bears a grudge.

Delph is a huge no no regardless of whether you think he has talent, he is hated by many villa fans. Edited June 6, 2019 by MaVilla 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YLN Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 If we're bringing back former villa players, what about Tom Carroll? 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 For the record I never said Cahill was bad on the ball, or a bad defender in general. Though he has barely played football in a year so who really knows. What I said is that he isn't right for us. I'm surprised this has been questioned. He is nothing like Mings, Tuanzebe or Hause. Smith might want to play a deeper line, I don't know, but it seems extremely unlikely to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he was so evil he could’ve gone for free by not signing a new contract. This is modern football, he had the chance to improve his lot and win things, who would begrudge your fellow man that? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albrighton would be an asset for a newly promoted side. He's rather good at them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benteke is ded, Delph will never set foot through the door again, Cahill is a poor fit... But Milner doesn't deserve to be in that camp. He is precisely the type of player we would want at the base of midfield both in terms of ability, experience and attitude, he's potentially available on a free, and would arrive with a massive amount of good will in tow. He would be the very best signing we could realistically make this summer. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
