Summer Transfers Window 2020

[VillaJ100]

Call it low sights but I think if we stay up the target should be effectively afe with approx 5 games to go (say like Newcastle have done) and a lower mid table finish say 12-14th.

It's interesting how many people want us to go in for Deeney.  I've read quite a few opinions from Watford fans recently that he's nowhere near good enough any more but they have to rely on him as one of the few who seems to give a shit.

Watford fans seem to hate Deeney judging by a certain forum I read. 

[KB_Villan]

Obviously easier said than done, but I want to see players coming in that can consistently perform week in, week out. I know there's been a break but I can't remember the last time El Ghazi actually did something meaningful given how excited we were to get him signed at the start of the season. I think with someone like Deulofeu we'd be getting the same thing, one decent performance every 4 weeks.

I disagree. I'd keep as much of the squad together as I could and then buy 4 or 5 quality players to go straight into the first 11. The only players I'd look to sell are Davis, Lansbury and Hause. But that's just me.

Nkamba, Jota, Trez , guilbert  - if anyone offered close to what we paid for those I'd move them on.

I know they’re not new signings but Kalinic, Hogan and Bree are still on the books too. Quite a few I’d be happy to see leave.

Just been posted in the Academy thread that Mike Scott a youth coach with Derby County is joining our youth set up, wonder if that would help us to get Sibley, Scott was his manager when their U18s won the premier league cup.

[Rob182]

I’ve seen a number of different wishlists in here, but I don’t think many are addressing our lack of pace. 

None of Benrahma, Eze, Mitrovic, Buendia or Sarr are that fast imo. I think Deulofeu is fairly pacey, but none of these seem like typical speed merchants, which is one thing that many people have said we’ve missed this year.

Unless we’re banking on higher quality all round the team being enough to make up for pace.

definitely agree with Jota. Completely forgot about him.

[useless]

Sarr is extremely fast it's pretty much his trademark, whether we would be able to get him is another thing though, currently being linked to Liverpool. I think we could do with someone, or maybe a couple of players like him, for some reason having fast players in the team is something I associate with the best Villa sides.

[Rob182]

There are worse players in our ranks than Jota. Even though he’s not much use, he cost about £2m, is probably on a pittance and is a sufficient early cup round option.

I’d much rather see us offload the likes of Lansbury, Kalinic, Bree, Hogan and Green, who all appear out of their depth at Premier League level.

I didn’t realise he was that fast. Or, not that much faster than our fastest current players, probably Trez and Guilbert, perhaps?

But yeah, Sarr was always going to be out of our reach. They paid £30m for him, so he’ll likely go for £40m+ to a top 6 side.

Green is set to be released next week.

I remember when I thought Wesley was a speed merchant after watching a youtube video, but later on realised the footage was sped up.

[Sulberto21]

If we stay up we'll spend around £207.7 Million pounds. That is a totally made up figure that I plucked out of thin air.

[OLDVILLAIN]

Whoever we buy and whoever has the final say in buying the badly needed new additions to the team, better not make the same monumental mess they  made last summer.

We really need to get it right this time around,that is of course if we stay  up

I watched one of nakamba. Combined of when he was with vitesse and brugge. Box to box midfielder. Looked physically strong. Bossing midfield. I've got to stop watching those. Like when you think of it Dan Crowley was rated one of the best midfielders in Holland last year. Doesn't even get a start for Blues. Those leagues are rank, in the main.

Due to the pandemic, isn’t FFP suspended for next season? If so, with our owners, it would be a chance to spend big.

I think we good enough Squad for add player to strength yet need player to replace or buy more player to strength bench as 5 subs allowed so big club is more likely to win the games easy compare to small squad like us.

Let look at squad.

Goalkeeper Depth

• Heaton (No.1)
• Steer (No.2)
• Nyland (No.3) - Possible Sold replace Youth Goalkeepers (would be nice if it is Sarkic) we should give him chance rather Reina encourage to stay.
• Youth Player

It is very good Depth in this so no need buy maybe try need find replacement No.2 Steer to Strength and challenger Steer and Heaton.

Centre-Halves Depth

• Mings (possibility to move to new club if down or big money move so Need replacement him)
• Hause
• Konsa
• Engels 
• Free transfer Veteran Centre Half - to help out and sit Bench to give experience to able strong back line.
• Youth Player (2x)
  
  Partner Mings + Engels / Konsa + Hause ((or)) Mings + Konsa / Hause it is good rotation and cover, back up, good challenge place. It is very good depth to play premiership and they are very high rate defender ...

Full Back Depth 
(Right) - we got 2 different type specialist which I like see.

• Guilbert (Overlap Specialist)
• Elmo (Deep Cross Specialist) - Would rid him if someone better that Guilbert and Elmo, so Elmo one to need to go to free up position as Gulibert is young.
• Konsa (3rd)
• Youth Players

(Left)

• Targett (Deep Cross + Overlap Specialist Hybird) 
• Taylor (I would try sell him and replace better maybe Henry - I more happy to keep him at villa as he good defender but not quality go forward Cross or Overlap)
• Hause (3rd)
• Youth Players

Full back Depth is very good so we no need strength this area (beside try replace Taylor)

Centre Midfield 

• Grealish (Likely to Sold Regard down or up)
• Luiz (if we down we need replacement him as Man City might come buy him off or he stay down)
• Mcginn (if we down we need replacement him as he likely bought off)
• Houriance (personally not sure about him but he actually decent footballer would give him one more year)
• Marvellous (Personally would rid him to replace better player but he can be good player if give a time - Best option I think is replacement him)
• Need New Player box to box with Creative Player
• Ramsey (or Need New Player Box to Box with Creative Player) - personally prefer to give Ramsey Chance
• C..................... can’t spelling his name (will edit later)
  
  Trio midfield Luiz + Mginn + New Player and Houriance + Marvellous + Ramsey 
  
  we actually not need strength this area but maybe buy 1 or 2 cm

Winger
Left 

• Grealish (likely to sold regard stay up or down)
• El-Ghazi (would rid him) 
• Hussain (would rid him)
• Barry can play there 

if I pick one of them to save money so I would choice Hassain as he is key reason is he track back and work hard to help defend, even El-Ghazi often give full back problem as no support but he is good football that Hassain but football is important is team-work and Team player. 

Still good cover this area despite poor players would love see upgrade this area. If we down they are more good enough to get us up again.

Right

• Jota (not good enough might move him to centre midfield as Creative box to box? Or selling him - Be fair he is actually good winger but lack track back and slow that why he struggle)
• Need New Players
• Youth
  
  Would love see get Pelayo Morilla Sportin Gojins (I usually buy him in football manager and I watch YouTube he seem likely good player with good left foot) fit Pulsow Requirement youth future star would love see him at right winger and Barry at left winger and new forward... or Lolley (Notts Forest) or Eliasson (Bristol City) 
  
  Left foot are mainly reason we lack threat we need look at market this urgently that reason I was begged and pray to get Bowen, in end he move West Ham. We should try ask Snodgrass if they got Bowen.

Forward

• Wesley - Would give him a chance I think he ideal for Creative Attack midfield rather Forward.
• Samatta - don’t sure if he should keep him might use him as exchanging or sent loan Championship if we stay up to tone his skill and learn English games
• Davis - Keep him for last one more year
• New Player as first choice
• Barry 
  
  it is full cover but I still think need find star world class striker move us but problem actually is creative winger don’t helpfully if we lack of creative winger after Grealish.

so all overrall we need GK 1x and RW 2x, LW 2x, LB 1x, RB 1x, FWD 1x, CM 2x  That is lots of money to need spent to rebuild and add Quaintly Number to help Squad to challenge top 10 and stay up premiership for next season. Hope Suso left and Smith more tell on transfer and hire better DOF to help Smith.

Don't need keepers if we keep Reina. I would buy 2 x LB and get rid of taylor and Hause. 2 x RB sell Elmo. I'd buy 2 new right Winger a new left winger which replaces Ghazi and sell him, sell Jota but keep Trez. Sell Davis and Samatta, keep Wesley as 3rd and bring in two new FWD. Nakamba wont make subs bench I dont think next season and bring in a new CDM, as well as two, possibly 3 new midfielders and sell Hourihane, Lansbury, send Drinkwater back. We have Vasilev for a forward it's time to start letting him play for us but we do need someone fantastic, give him some full matches. 

Have Youth to consider, not just Ramsey or Barry but Vasilev to, the three of them certainly need to get minutes on the pitch for us. Also I think when first teamers are not pulling there weight we need to see them dropped for a while and let them earn there way back in or Youth wont ever get a look in,other clubs dont seem to have a problem with this like we do.

All in all I think we will see a fair few outs and alot of ins if were a prem outfit next season.

I'd hate to have been some of your parents watching your disappointed faces when you came down on Christmas day. 

There is absolutely no chance we sign 10+ first team players.
