VillaCas Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 5 minutes ago, MaVilla said: He has his weakneses like not tracking back and probably being a bit light weight, as well as one footed, but his technical ability is certainly not in question and I would have him over green or adomah any day of the week. Not wanting to be argumentative but not tracking back is a huge weakness for me and we can’t afford to have a player like that. I’m sure he is a better “footballer” than Green and Adomah but I also want someone who’ll put a shift in All this said I think we will bring two or three more in yet and so not such a worry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobbit Feet Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 (edited) 37 minutes ago, useless said: Phillips was also on the list, I doubt we'd be in advance talks for him if he was an alternative to Luiz. It's worth remembering that at Girona Luiz didn't actually play as a defensive midfielder, and Phillips himself before last season was more of an attacking midfielder, so no reason why wouldn't want to sign both. I think we absolutely are or have been in advanced talks with Leeds regarding Phillips, I don’t particularly think it’s gone well or in our favour but you can be in advanced talks without getting the deal over the line and then moving on.

useless Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 (edited) Douglas Luiz wasn't on newsnow, that guy on twitter was the first to mention him in public as a possible VIlla signing anywhere. Edited July 12, 2019 by useless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomaszk Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 I don't think that chap is ITK. He's plucked a player and got lucky. Maybe Naive. If he is, Dean Smith will be getting a wrist slap for telling his son club transfer plans. In turn, I'm sure Smith's son will be in a lot of trouble from daddio. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
