jacketspuds Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 As things stand. Could all change very quickly on deadline day. I think not signing a forward player, after letting Hogan and Green go, would be a mistake. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El-Reacho Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 If we were to only bring one player in today I think I'd rather have a striker over Benrahma - particularly if Brentford want stupid money for him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't. It would have been a weird move, but ultimately I'd rather play anyone in our team than Green. He isn't good enough. Shit I'd rather use Davies on the wing than Green. But that's me.

Vive_La_Villa Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 I’m sure the club are trying hard to get in another winger and striker. I think winger we can probably live without. But up front to just have Wesley, Kodjia and Davis will mean a massive over reliance on Wesley. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brummybloke Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 (edited) No Ben Yedder thread ? Would not fall into our profile HOWEVER an experienced keeper 1 end and an experienced forward the other end with the yoot doing most of the running could make sense.

Hitzlsperger_12 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 (edited) I think Premier League defenders will hate playing against Kodjia, he's unpredictable. Even he doesn't know what he's going to do at times! So he might surprise us as and when he is given a chance. Just need to hope Wesley finds the net quickly and that we can share goals throughout the team. Edited August 8, 2019 by Hitzlsperger_12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alreadyexists Posted August 8, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted August 8, 2019 Seems strange that we let Hogan go not to replace him with a striker. I know he isn’t PL quality (barely championship tbh) but I would’ve preferred to have one more striker at the club to ‘roll the dice’ with if we’re 1-0 down with ten mins to go... Anyway, I’m pretty sure we’ll sign a striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeyjavfc Posted August 8, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted August 8, 2019 The writing was on the wall when news got out that Kienen would not be allowed to go on loan. We're sticking with what we have. 3 strikers is enough IF they are all trusted by coaches to do a job in the premier league...but I think this makes everyone nervous, especially if Wesley was to get an injury early in the season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ponky Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 I reckon Luyindama might be a late in. Reckon we could still do with a big f*** off style DM in the squad for certain match ups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazrim Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 1000 pages will happen. Side bet on how many times "We're done" is mentioned? 243. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't NEED anything and as I'm currently on honeymoon in Hawaii, I'll sleep through most of the faux drama! Can wake up about 8am here and the window will be closed and I'll just be able to read the fallout! Congratulations, it's always nice to get an Aloha from Hawaii on VT. Hopefully Villa will have another striker all wrapped up for when you go for your breakfast Malasadas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[TheTrees] Wolves are rumoured to be in for Kessie from Milan, so could possibly be something to do with that, but like you say, could be anyone.

Agreed, 3 strikers for one position is enough, can't see us spending £20mil plus to then go and watch one of them or Wesley sit on the bench. Benrama or bust I think. Been a great window regardless of today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villarocker Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 If it comes down to paying over the odds for Benrahma or paying over the odds for a striker, the striker will be the deal done. Remember, we have Kodjia who can play wide left so effectively making a fourth wide man. After Wesley we only have Kodjia really as Davis looks like he needs plenty of game time elsewhere or in the U23s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
