thabucks Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 (edited) @sir_gary_cahill I (respectfully) disagree and my initial response was way too harsh in tone and uncalled for please accept my apologies as it was rightly pointed out I was out of line! Lookmam had Zero goals and 2 assists in 21 games last season . He hasn’t progressed and would cost reportedly £20million. https://www.transfermarkt.com/ademola-lookman/profil/spieler/406040 Goal scoring and assist record . https://www.premierleague.com/players/13278/Ademola-Lookman/overview Edited July 1, 2019 by thabucks harsh in tone originally and rightfully pointed out.

Bowery didn’t play for us much but when he did, he looked more than decent, was it against Stoke I think? He ran them ragged, he was a punt and he didn’t quite work out My first hero's growing up was Alan McInally & David Platt. I cried when both left the club! just interested... What made you choose youth playerDelfouneso as hero over say any first team players SGC? Edited July 1, 2019 by Villan4Life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s just got a different opinion to you and some others, as fascinating as reading page after page of ‘yes he is’ , ‘no he isn’t’ could you maybe just agree to disagree?

I’m not having a go or anything I see what you're saying. You're saying you agree that Hepburn-Murphy should be starting ahead of Wesley this season? Bold. I look forward to seeing how this discussion develops. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was brilliant as a kid, I still remember he used to pick the ball up from the kick off and try to just dribble past the opposing team, he used to beat 3 or 4 regularly in youth matches, it was great to watch. He was my hero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit like JT then before we signed him. He might have many offers.. He might be happy to come to Villa for a year and go from there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaVilla Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 (edited) Really happy with the signings so far, but oh my Lord do we need to get at least 1 centre back and a DM in this week...... Preferably 2 centre backs and a DM tbh. Edited July 1, 2019 by MaVilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a promising one that's for sure and getting consistent games in the PL team, like Tuanzebe, will do him the world of good combined with the right coaching. He would come to life at Villa imho. Daft as it sounds to some.. I would give Everton £20m today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HKP90 Posted July 1, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted July 1, 2019 With due respect to all involved I think that if we go into a Premier League season expecting RHM to score the goals that keep us up, we’ll be playing Brentford (with their new starting 11) the following year.

KentVillan Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 A lot of people are talking about suggested spending limits for this transfer window (£100m or £150m or whatever). I think that's too simplistic. Spending £100m on 23-year-olds with lots of potential to improve is different from throwing cash at established talent. It's an investment. We only need one or two of those players to become targets for Champions League clubs, and we've more than justified the original spend. What we were doing before was signing older players on the cheap and young players on loans. It makes your overall transfer spend look much lower, but that's money you'll never see again - the older players can't be sold on, and any improvement in the young players is a gift to the parent club. So once you take age into account, I think most of our transfer fees sound very sensible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
