useless Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Ashley Westwood would walk into our team at the moment, as would Jack Cork. If we want a DM we've got a choice of going for one with premier league experience that's out of favour but is prove and could potentially still do a job such as Drinkwater, or we could take a risk on another Nakamba type, given the urgency of our situation we're probably more likely to go for the player that has experience of the league we're in if possible, obviously there's another scenario where just go and pay £20m plus for someone like Kalvin Phillips or similar but we're most likely not in a position to do that. I'd prefer Mendy, but don't think Drinkwater would be a bad choice either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My question though is he going to be a player that grabs hold of a game? That’s what we really need a vocal leader that’s going to dig out other players from time to time. He was very good at Leicester playing alongside Kante but what kind of player he is now is hard to know. He has played so little that Villa won't even have a scouting report on him.

KenjiOgiwara Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 I'll reserve judgement until they play for us, but I think Drinkwater is WAY more likely than Vida. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At his best at Leicester he kept the play ticking over and could put his foot in. Wouldn't want him though. As others have said since the move to Chelsea he's lost all focus on football, he can't have played more than 20 games in last two seasons and all the off field issues are red flags aswell we should be heeding.

VillaChris Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Morgan Schneiderlin hasn't played for Everton since December 7th. He played full 90 minutes in their 3-1 win over Chelsea but hasn't been seen since and could well not be in Ancelotti's plans. Player I really rated when he was at Southampton but lost his way at Man. United and also at Everton. He's actually been a regular for Everton this season (which may be way they were hovering above bottom 3) but dunno think he might be a bit better than Drinkwater given he's actually started many games this season. Victor Wanyama is another to look at if he's still a Spurs player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christ no, I remember the furore over the last player we had that kept things ticking over. Ashley Westwood was his name if I remember correctly...

poitier Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 (edited) I thought Drinkwater's main contribution at Leicester was playing early through balls for Vardy. Can't see Wes trundling after those sort of passes. Edited December 30, 2019 by poitier 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheltenham_villa Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 It's the sort of signing I'd expect, were desperate and need players that can hit the ground running in the league and improve on the current crop. While I wouldnt personally go for drinkwater, I fully expect to see highly paid fringe players who need to restart their careers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d Rather we tried for Victor Wanyama or someone like that on loan without the baggage Drinkwater currently is going through.
