If a PL team was looking to sign an English kid playing at this level now for the third placed team in the Championship they would drop £15-20m without question. Especially since we know he can lift it into the roof the net from there. Both his assists came from positions where we know he can score but he was willing to find the better option. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not the same player as Buendia. Watching him play actual football makes it clear that he has something to offer. 9 hours ago, bobzy said: Sure, sure, he can finish. But can we really have a 2ft 5in as a striker in our team? What would Elphick say? "He's too tall for me to mark"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post kidlewis Posted April 16, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted April 16, 2023 If we manage to get Europa group stages and we want good cup runs it’s damn obvious we need Archer. we need competition and Watkins has zero right now. there’s absolute no chance Watkins can play every cup, European and PL game and what happens if he gets injured? Archers has a goal and assist every 75 minutes in the championship, that puts him in the top 5 attackers in the whole of that league, if he maintains that until the end of the season. Selling him wouldn’t be very clever, because I’d rather keep him and spend £50-60m on other positions where we don’t have enough depth or want to better the current top player in that position. right wing - Bailey and Traore good, but inconsistent and injury prone. Rather spend a huge wedge on a player there 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watkins will be our main man going into next season and we are unlikely to spend tens of millions on a backup - so the likes of Archer and Duran have it all to play for. I hope so, the whole point of.us prioritising the development of the academy was for us to mould these youngsters into, fingers crossed, first team players. The two players you mention are certainly looking like they have a good chance of achieving that target. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's supposedly going to be a symbiotic relationship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SecretVillaScout Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 Why does Duran vs Archer even have to be a thing? One is doing well in the championship at 21. One did well in the MLS at 18 years of age. Cmon, Just Enjoy Em Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 You simply can't teach the level of finishing he has. We qualify for europe and he'll be getting plenty of minutes next season. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhan_Zhuang Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 Great finish and the speed he has in the six yard box is rapid. Also the best celebration for sure; hopefully see him emulate that next season for Villa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
