I agree, although I think having good pro's around to help out the young players does help, but we have those in the squad already with Elmo, Whelan, Taylor, Chester, you could even throw in Terry. There's been plenty of teams promoted recently who have stayed up without much/any Premier League experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazrim Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Leicester were a bigger pull. They're not now. I'm not having that. Not that I'm bothered about Barnes. And Gayle can get to feck. Do not want. Even his mother can't stand his face, but he's also out of his depth in the PL. Maupay could step up. Gayle cannot and has not. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is why I would give Whelo another year myself. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not his biggest fan but I can see what he brings to the club and as an option from the bench he can be useful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just an opinion, and one i share. Gayle has proven that he struggles with the step up. That's not to Maupay wouldn't go the same way, but taking his age into consideration i think he would be a much better option than Gayle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazrim Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Whelan is a good bloke but pointless as a player at PL now for me. I think theres enough characters in the squad to cope and if we need more experience, get some players in that can contribute on the pitch too. Like Milner maybe. I'd move on from Whelan now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whelan would be nobodies first choice, however I suspect we will need to retain a few like this to keep numbers up. Unless that is we sign 10-12 new players which I can’t see happening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have just spent 3 seasons in the championship, a few years ago Leicester were Premier League champions, I get we are a "bigger" club but we need to solidate our status among the elite. For what it's worth with Barnes, if he was at A N other club and it was a choice between Leicester or Villa, I think we would have a chance, but I couldn't envisage him leaving the foxes for us. I agree on Gayle and Maupay though. The latter all day long for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big fat yes from me for both! right wing, as it should be, appears to be the priority. plus getting mings in whilst he's still got the villa bug and before his head gets turned by bigger money elsewhere. if true, so far so good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see us trying. I just think, if we're both going for a player, we'd be favourites to get them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
