He/she doesn't make stuff up, they simply report all links in the media with a link to the source. They don't claim to know anything, they simply report. Hence the name..

But will he cut the mustard? That’s the key question! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lexicon Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 The Maupay link is a strange one for me seeing as we're in the process of getting Wesley signed here. I think Kodjia and Davis are fine for backup and the money should be going elsewhere, unless we're changing systems and moving to a 2 up front system.

One injury to Wesley and all of a sudden we have the good but unreliable Kodja and totally unproven Davis. Heck, Wesley is unproven. We need another striker. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could take time to settle too and adjust to the league. Maupay more likely to hit the ground running having played for a couple of years with the speed and intensity of English football.

Vive_La_Villa Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 I reckon we need at least The equivalent of a signing a week until window closes to be ready for the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villan4Life Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Kongolo now linked in Daily Mail; https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-7151819/Aston-Villa-enquire-Huddersfield-defender-Terence-Kongolo.html Quote Aston Villa have asked about Huddersfield Town defender Terence Kongolo. The Holland international, 25, also has interest from Watford. Huddersfield are looking to sign Forest Green Rovers winger Reece Brown. Dean Smith is eager to bolster his Villa squad following promotion to the Premier League in May after a three-year absence. And they have acted quickly already in the transfer market, capturing their third summer signing on Monday in the shape of Wolves defender Kortney Hause. The 23-year-old impressed during a loan spell at Villa Park during the second half of last season, making 12 appearances to help the club win promotion via the play-offs. Hause joins Spanish midfielder Jota and Dutchman Anwar El Ghazi, who also played a significant role on loan from Lille last season, with the pair having already signed on the dotted line 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kodjia for me isntvthe same player he once was since he got injured. Davis has lots of potential but he is more a player that helps provide chances for other players. He is a pretty poor finisher tbh. I think we should consider loaning him to a championship side to see how he gets on. I'd get rid of Hogan and rhm regardless. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vive_La_Villa Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Wesley was leaked about 5pm one day and the official site then confirmed it about an hour later. Not a single bit of speculation before hand. More of this please. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you apply the logic of 'what if he gets injured?' then we'd have an infinite number of players. I don't think either Wesley or Maupay would be happy to sit on the bench.

I don't think either Wesley or Maupay would be happy to sit on the bench. All I'm saying is that if Wesley proves to be a good signing, there is no good back up for him. I'd get Davis on loan so he can have a full season in the championship and Maupay with Wesley would be a good duo to go into the season with Kodja as backup. No promises of being a starter, whoever is in best form and whoever does best in the Premier League starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted June 18, 2019 Author Share Posted June 18, 2019 I know the owners have money, but does the club really have £20m to blow on a back up striker considering how many holes there is to fill (giggity) in the squad and starting 11. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can't expect equivalent quality on the bench to the first team, it's either totally unrealistic or the first team players aren't up to much. If players are injured, you have to make do - you can't have two Grealishes, for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
