AshVilla Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 (edited) Maupay is a different type of striker to Moraes and i think would compliment him well. Moraes could play in behind him with Jack and McGinn playing a deeper role as according to scouting reports he's more of a link man than an out and out striker. If we can get him for 10 - 15m it's a no brainer imo. Jimy Danger and Davies are ok backups but not good enough for prem.

Jimmyg Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Someone may have said but it’s pretty imperative we get another striker as well as Wes.... it’s a lot to put on him to come straight into the prem and start scoring goals....as it would anyone coming in without prem experience granted, but at least the burden would be shared and competition will be there. Unless jimmy can step up, which he has the ability to, hopefully being with the big boys will straighten his attitude out a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thunderball Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 I think Wesley is an investment, I think we need a semi-nailed-on forward other wise too much pressure on the new man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketspuds Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Maupay and Wesley as our 2 striker options would be excellent. Look at Fulham last year, they pretty much had Mitrovic to rely on and when he was not scoring they were screwed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do see your point. I guess from a backup perspective though they did have Jota, Costa and Cavaleiro who all look like better options than Kodjia, Hogan and Davis. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 If we sign Maupay for 15-20m when we have already signed Wesley then we really do mean business this season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Wolves just got lucky with injuries, if Jimenez had have been out for any length of time they would have been in trouble as he was pretty much their only centre forward, which is why they tried to sign Abraham in January. Costa and Cavaleiro both flopped and will probably be sold this summer, both linked to championship clubs. I think we need another striker as well as Moraes, but we're also going to need the likes of Jota, El Ghazi, Grealish and whichever other winger we sign to contribute towards our goals, we don't want it to be like the last time we were in the Premier league when we were too dependent on Benteke. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We signed a second striker a few years back and that didn't work out too well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mazrim Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 (edited) I think Tammy might have been told he cant leave until the new Chelsea manager is in place to decide if he wants him or not. In which case we might not have seen the last of him in a Villa shirt. Edited June 18, 2019 by Mazrim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flynnchin84 Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 A front three of El Ghazi, Wesley and Benrahma, with Grealish and Mcginn behind . Then if we can pull off Mings, Axel and Philips, no reason why we couldn't finish top 10 imo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They normally play with 1 striker and it would seem that Giroud, Batshuayi and Abraham are the options if Chelsea can't sign anyone. Only thing is I think Lampard (if he gets the job) will look to give a lot of game time to the likes of Hudson-Odoi, Tomori, Loftus-Cheek, Mount and Abraham, especially with the cup competitions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add Butland, Targett and Maupay to that and you're right. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
