Would love us to get Zaha or Ayew. Leicester have a couple of players is like to snatch up, chillwell, Nacho, Pereira, Vardy. I'd like us to go grab Bournmouths Billing, he's a good player and would look like we have two clones on the pitch. Keeper I'd actually buy Pepe and go with Heaton and Pepe next season. Chelsea I like Emerson, Odoi, Willian, Jorginho would be a lovely CDM to have at Villa. I can Dream I spose and who knows maybe our Owners will get real serious, because if we survive then thats the type of players we going to have to bring in if were to start challenging other premier teams and stop looking like a desperate survival team. On a windup with half of these names surely. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaVilla Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 (edited) Heaton Guilbert - Engels - Mings - Targett NEW DM - Luiz BENRAHMA - McGinn - Grealish Samatta Squad: Steer, Nyland, Konsa, Hause, NEW LB, NEW RB, Nakamba, NEW MC, El Ghazi, Trezeguet, BUENDIA, Barry, Davis, Wesley U23 to give chances in cup/work with seniors: Vassilev, Ramsey. So I have that as 6 new players? (Obviously any "NEW" player could be first team or squad, depending on who we signed. Price estimates? (very rough) Benrahma - 20-30m Buendia - 40m New DM - 30m New LB - 20m New RB - 20m total spend - 130m - 150m.

Not to mention the fact that you've got an extra Midfielder in your squad that you haven't added into the total spend. I think we'll spend between £50-70m if we stay up and don't sell any of Mings/ Grealish/ McGinn/ Luiz. I'd love us to spend more, but I just can't see it.

Could be wrong, but ye, big IF, cus i think at the moment we are more likely to go down than stay up, then its a whole different ball game.

My squad would piss the league because there's so many good dribblers in the team. The big names would ensure massive shirt sales and touts would charge 1k just for a place of the waiting list for a season ticket. and even our reserve games (featuring samatta, El Gazi, Hause etc would get 20k. Taylor gets the nod due to his welsh chemistry with the golfer. You could get this team for about 250m. peanuts. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaFaninLondon Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 (edited) If we stay up, I'd expect to see us up our game in the transfer market and bring in some players who can make us more than a side battling relegation. Where do we need strengthening? I personally think the defence needs the most attention, going forward we're decent but could do with quality additions out wide and up front. I'd like to see proper competition at full back with players who can defend and attack. So an outlay of approx £100 on...... 1 x CB 1 x RB 1 x LB 1 x DM 1 x RW 1 x ST That means six signings in my view. Not too knowledgeable about players outside the Prem apart from watching at World Cups etc, so I'll list mainly players I know. CB - Christensen (not getting much game time at Chelsea and huge potential) - loan to buy RB - Dumfries - £20m LB - Rodriguez - £10m DM - Phillips - £20m RW - Benrahma, Shaqiri or Buendia - £20m ST - Morelos or Batshuayi - £30m That's another large outlay but necessary to make those improvements. I'd get rid of Taylor, Elmo, Kalinic, Hause, Jota, Lansbury, Steer. Squad for next season: GK: Reina, Heaton, Nyland DF: Christensen, Mings, Engels, Konsa, Guilbert, Dumfries, Targett, Rodriguez MF: Phillips, McGinn, Nakamba, Luiz, Hourihane RW/LW/AM: Benrahma, Grealish, El Ghazi, Trezeguet ST: Batshuayi, Samatta, Wesley, Davis, Borja, Vassilev Return to 4 at the back and rotate the FBs: Reina Dumfries/Guilbert Christensen Mings Targett/Rodriguez Phillips McGinn Luiz Benrahma Grealish Batshuayi Edited February 10, 2020 by VillaFaninLondon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If our owners claims are to be believed, then we probably want to establish ourselves as a Top 10 side, at worst, which would require significant investment, so who knows, you might not be far off. With our current reliance on the 3-4-3, I'm surprised you haven't put us down to buy another central defender though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be wrong, but i think Deano is 99.9% set on 4-3-3, its seems his go to and default formation, i think the only reason we went 3-4-3 was after a meeting with the players (clear the air etc), and i would bet cash that the players said we need to play 3-4-3 due to the current players we have on the books etc, obviously deano prob agreed, but i dont think deano made the change off his own back. I reckon, IF we stay up, and IF we buy some better players, he would revert back to 4-3-3 as soon as he possibly could. just my opinion though.

Yep - drama being in order to play 4 -3-3 you really have to have top quality mobile players. Were not going to be in a position just yet to attract those players. Deanos 4-3-3- style of play moving the ball around from the back thru midfield is seriously compromised in the premier league with the players he has at his disposal. So IF we stay up i still cant see us adopting 4-3-3 every week . If deano didint make the recent formation change im even more worried about our survival chances.
