Villatillidie95 Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 Another year in the championship wouldnt be the worst thing for him, but he is clearly ready to be part of the team and wider squad. I said it during the cup game which he scored 3 in, it was immediately apparent that he is ready to start games in the premier league. he won't score all the chances and indeed has missed some for PNE, however our other strikers don't bury every chance they get either and this will improve with time and experience. Early days yet but he has all the attributes to be a top tier striker in the premier league and I would not be surprised to see him become the striker that a lot of Man United/Neutral fans thought Greenwood was going to be for England. I don't know much about his attitude off the pitch or approach to training but he has the goods to go far in the game, that much is clear, even at this very early stage 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 This is why I hope we nick 7th place. He'll get games in the Conference League and it will be against a lot of top flight teams. Not to mention the cups. So even if he isn't playing in the league he'll still be playing a lot of first team football. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWARLEY2 Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 If we stick with 2 strikers as a formation then i can see him being straight back to Villa as 3td choice striker . I think that he would be a revelation with Coutinho playing him in as he is so clinical. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barry'sboots Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 As many have said, it depends how we want to play. Two up top and he is fourth choice if he comes back - I think Bailey is in front of him if we stick with that. Could be a decent loan option for a Burnley, Brighton (will score more than Maupay and would this help get the Bissouma deal done?) or Saints (if they can't keep Broja). It would be great to see him in a bottom half PL team for 12 months (not us, I should add!) Getting PL experience before he comes back to us??

CVByrne Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Is scrapping at the bottom end of the PL getting little of the ball better for his development than a top 6 Championship team? Personally I don't think so. He might be worth keeping around until January again and then loaning him our early in that window 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mentioned Saints, Brighton and Burnley - all of whom are established PL teams. Admittedly Burnley are scrapping this season but that may be largely down to the fact that they haven't got a goalscorer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 But the u21s have brewster, you know him that will never be good enough to step up but at least he'll get them to the competition in the summer...

Davkaus Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Archer, 9 goals in 14 first team appearances this season Balogun, 2 goals and 2 assists in 12 appearances Gomes, 0 goals and 0 assists in 16 appearances Gordon, 3 goals and 3 assists in 27 Lewis-Potter, 9 goals and 4 assists in 40 appearances Madueke, 9 goals and 5 assists in 28 appearances I am not familiar with these players, maybe Balogun and Gomes are player who offer more than goal threats and that's why they're in there. Gordon is doing it in the PL so was a shoo-in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Archer has scored fifteen goals against first team level this season. Doesn't really make any sense that he's not with the U21s, Madueke, Gordon, and Lewis-Potter are more wingers/wide forwards, Gomes is more of an attacking midfielder, Balogun the only real actual striker in the squad, and Archer has been out performing him at championship level.

HanoiVillan Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 At a rough guess, it will be either because they've 'worked with' Balogun for a long time but Archer is a new face, or because Archer is a player on loan from one unfashionable club at another unfashionable club, or perhaps a little from column A and a little from column B.
