It doesn't really suggest anything at all. It's preseason. As for this signing I know nothing about him but it sure is exciting to be snapping up young, hungry players from abroad for relatively small fees. We have a manager that can coach players and plays decent football. It is as exciting a time to be a villa fans as I can remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ponky Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 I think we've played Lansbury into having resale value more than anything 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dante_Lockhart Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Yeah I'd argue BB will be off. Grealish, McGinn, Hourihane, Lansbury, Luiz, Nakamba. That's a pretty good set-up IMO and one I'd be happy with going into the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwivillan Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 (edited) Lansbury was almost exclusively an AM or front foot CM for Forest and he looked it vs Walsall. Bruce tried to get him dropping deep and playing a defensive role. Hourihane was attacking LCM in a 442 at Barnsley and Bruce kept starting him on the right in a 433. Early signs for me that Bruce was a clueless career destroyer Edited July 25, 2019 by Kiwivillan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right about preseason, and it may not bear out that way, but it certainly suggests lansbury will be in his plans. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jas10 Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 If we get both Marvelous & Luiz in, I’m feeling really good about this season. We will be fairly strong in most positions and have good options in case of injuries/suspensions/rotation. I certainly wouldn’t complain if we don’t get anymore signings in (although I would like us to get a really solid GK in) but I don’t think we’re done just yet. We really appear to have a young, energetic and exciting side that wants to play attacking football, how refreshing! DM was my biggest concern but no longer will be if we get these deals done. Wow, what a transfer window... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danceoftheshamen Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Does anyone remember the very prominent advertising campaign on TV in the late 80's which had that woman going "Maaarvelous"? Everyone at the time was saying it but i can't remember what it was? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarethRDR Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 I'm looking forward to him being referred to concomitant to his on-pitch performances. "Adequate Nakamba put a shift in, but didn't really grab the game by the scruff of its neck". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
