These are the exact players we have been buying for the last 3 seasons and the exact reason the club is currently in the situation it is in. Each of these players would cost over 10 million each, they would expect their wages to be doubled and they would then come in thinking they have made it in football. We really need to get away from buying 'the best of the Championship' and start finding our own players in the lower leagues and abroad, it's the only sustainable way in football. Guess who paid 50k for Bowen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merson08 Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Jake Hastie could be a decent shout hes a left footed RW for Motherwell and just won POTM. He's only 19 and has the potential to improve massively. At the end of this season he is a free agent and Villa could replace El Ghazi with him if the option isn't taken on El Ghazi. Here is an article on BBC with a compilation video of recent goals. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/47494249 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baggies, Leeds and Middlesbrough all sent scouts wAtch him I gave watched him via full games sent to me via wyscout/instat.. One of my friends knows the Smith family and has passed Jake Hastie and Tom Bayliss (Coventry) name onto them.

Demitri_C Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Bl We are not allowed to offer he contracts to any players, Michael Morrison is out of contract in the summer.

George Ray of Crewe is out of contract in summer and a good defender and a leader. Rather players like that on way up from lower leagues with point to prove.

He seems to score in every game for Motherwell, could be the next Ryan Fraser for all we know. Probably a case of more interest in him if Scotland call him up for next round of fixtures. That's the sort of signing I'd like to see us make in the summer rather than Bolasie type ones. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope all is well after the recent illness chap, was shocked to read that as always enjoy reading your posts. Have you seen much of Kilmarnock this season (having a look to see how Tish is getting on) They have a striker called Eamonn Brophy who I reckon could be very decent in about 18 months. Sort of signing a Preston or Bristol City will pick up for 500k and then sell him for 5m in two years while we're paying more premier league reserves 60k a week and wondering why we're still in this league.

siminjo Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 I think it`s is so strange how we haven`t picked up any young and good players from the league under us in a very long time. I get so frustrated every time we seem to be linked to an up and coming player in the lower leagues, only for that player to go to another club in this division, and not to uncommenly turn out quite good. How many Ollie watkins`s, Joe Lolley`s and Kemar Roofe`s (before they came to fame in the championship) couldn`t we have bought instead of for ex. Ross McCormack. Really hope we try we have some good scouts looking in L1 and L2, and that we try to vaccum up some gems from there, and even though we might get a lot of shit as well, atleast our total loss would be extremely low, compared to for ex. again McCormack (both in transfer fee and wages) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watch League 1 & 2 almost every other week live as scout for last 2 years some absolute gems in those divisions. Interesting to see if we go for any this summer.
