abdomlahor Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 I follow Werder Bremen in the Bundesliga and Milot Rashica has been unbelievable this season. He'd light it up here. Him and El Ghazi swapping wings would be tasty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hope Mings is past his injuries. We don't need another injury prone player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HKP90 Posted May 30, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted May 30, 2019 Definitely not Gayle. Also not sure I'd go for Maupay, as much as I think he could be decent. It's a matter of risk for me. It's one of the only positions where I think decent prem experience will tell, which is why they go for the big bucks I suppose. There have been plenty of decent footballing sides come up from the championship, but just don't score enough. Even more of an issue when you play with one up and need someone to hold it up to bring our wide men in, and score stacks of goals. I think someone on VT earlier this year said that the difference between prem and championship strikers (and other positions) was that whilst championhship players can do one or two things well, prem players have a broader skillset. That's why I worry about recruiting a championship striker. I'm sure DS will have done his due diligence though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously we’d want to buy or loan with an option to. Before the final I would have said yes to Wilson. However, the only thing he did was prove how much of a petulant twonk he was - throwing himself around and whinging to the ref. I took immense pleasure in seeing the final whistle blown whilst he was blasting the lino for something. Bell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, in the sense that anyone could step up then okay sure (anything is possible I guess) but I've seen nothing to suggest he's a PL quality player, he's just scored a load of goals but apparently that's not enough to justify Abraham as being any good so why is it a good yardstick for Maupay....strange. Not sure the other bit was warranted, laughably if I posted that I'd have a 5 point warning already.............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NIVillan Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Going back a bit but in the book Ron Saunders Scrapbook, Im sure he mentions the one delight in being a manager is taking a player from another team that hasnt worked out and making him work in your own team. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firstly, no, not anybody can step up. in terms of having the raw ingredients to succeed in the PL though, I think Maupay has them. Not a sure thing, hence I said could. Abd its more than just goals. And I don't know why you're bringing Abraham into this. I've certainly never claimed he isn't good enough. On the contrary, I'd love us to sign him.

Teale's 'tache Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 I don't know who Moussa Marega's agent is but he's certainly being peddled around, just seen us linked to him as well. He's 28, and from what I've seen he's pretty rubbish, again not really the profile we are looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huge talent and him and El Ghazi on either flank would be frightening, even in the PL. That would be a statement signing for sure. I'd imagine he'll be a bit too expensive for us considering all the other needs we have, but I'd love him as well. We'd be a real threat offensively.

A newly promoted side needs a very clinical striker as chances will be few and far between. Sadly I don't think Tammy is there yet and the jury is out on maupay. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why Tammy is a bit of a find. Tall, strong, can hold it up, but is also not slow. Don't get me wrong I think he still needs work. He needs far too many chances to score for a Prem player, but if he gets that in his locker he will be immense. I'd be happy to get him in again on loan tbh, and in the meantime blood an existing young'un or get a young, hungry backup who we can bring on through the seasopn with a view to being the main man next year. I appreciate this goes against what I said before about experience, but I think we could make an exception for Tammy.

I think maupay could be a good signing but at 20m very excessive. i know this might be unpopular but what about che Adams? I think he is a very good striker. Bid 15m and give them Gardner would nab him Exactly.. especially when amazing potential is on offer for the same fee in Everton's Ademola Lookman! Come on Villa! Get him and Tuanzebe in please.
