Zatman Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 I wonder if Wout Weghorst be a player we could target. Good record in Germany and has good physique for Premier League Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: no he wasn't—not two in a row, but I mean, it doesn't necessarily mean he's no good. He looked good against us, but I think that's a dangerous way to be judging players!

Tomaszk Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 7 hours ago, MotoMkali said: My opinion is that we desperately need a physical presence in the middle of the park, a player who is a good free kick taker as well as being good enough to be a starter for us in every game, a really rapid winger, a top striker and then some bargains like karlan grant who we should definitely go for 5 goals in 13 for an anemic Huddersfield attack is nothing to scoff at in the prem. Teun Koopmeiners Musa Barrow Milot Rashica They're all achievable. Someone mentioned Tammy and I can't stop imagining how good it would be. Brings everything we want, most importantly work rate from the front, so hard to find. Agree with Grant as well, definitely should be after him.

peterw Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 NOne or two ex-Villa players I'd consider. The first is Ashley Young. he's on lona at inter and of course would be on a fair bit of wedge but if Inter aren't going to buy then it's clear Man u are keen to move him on. That leaves us with an (albeit small) opening. There will be little option for him in the current top 6 or Wolves in 7th. Arsenal? possibly by Tierney has upped his game and they won't have him down their left. So, he's looking further down the chain given his age. I think we could tempt him if we could persuade jack to stay. I'm not saying playing him at wing-back as I think targett has done enough to give him the shirt next season. But left-mid/wing? I think that there's a spot their for him. I know this would really split opinion but depending on his injuries I would look at delph. Would he improve our squad depth? Absolutely. If he's now permanently injured then no point but, Delph or Nakamba? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You see I think it’s the other way around. Targett has been a bit of a liability defensively and dare I say a bottle job from time to time, going off injured only to play the following weekend. Konsa looked good as a right back and a full season there could do wonders for his development. Have guilbert as a back up and bring in a commanding centre back to play alongside mings and we will be solid if nothing else which has been an issue. Targett gives cover at LB and dare I say LW? Wouldn’t be the worst move ever 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazrim Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Benrahma doesn't get in next seasons Chelsea team very often, if at all. I can't see it, but you never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazrim Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Lb is definitely a need. Targett is OK but flakey in defence, picks up knocks regularly and we need to finally move Taylor on. I'd say we'll upgrade both full back positions with Guilbert and Targett the back ups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's now permanently injured then no point but, Delph or Nakamba? No to Young. We are hopefully looking to improve the starting 11 and i don't think he would. I'm undecided on Delph. He'd split the fan base for sure. Would certainly add experience but again don't see him (or Nakamba) as regulars in the first time starting line up.

Targett has been a bit of a liability defensively and dare I say a bottle job from time to time, going off injured only to play the following weekend. What do you imagine happens in that bit in bold that makes him a bottle job? I mean, does he bottle wanting to play so he pretends to have an injury? I don't get it. And the manger is OK with that? I don't believe this scenario exists. Anyway, yeah I forgot about Konsa at RB. I was OK with him there—I think Guilbert is OK and has potential, but I think he goes missing big time on the ball when we're under pressure (his tackling is OK, if a bit last-gasp). He might grow out of that with more experience and in a better team. In contrast, Targett is comfortable on the ball and I'd argue is one of the few players who doesn't bottle it. He's got Premier League quality and he's the least of our problems. Just look at his chance-created stat. He might be lacking a bit of pace, but he's not slow. He's just not lightning quick. He's also been an integral part to one of the better defences (statistically, based on the screenshot on some other thread) since the lockdown. He's a good player.

Rob182 Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Dwight McNeil anyone? Trickery, only 20, would be a bit of a ‘statement’ as European clubs have looked at him, and it’d weaken Burnley. I heard a lot about us being Prem experience, but I’m not seeing many Prem names being mentioned! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterw Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Yeah I'd look at rb before lb although I agree we need more depth at lb. Funny how a rb is always seen as capable at covering lb, too, but never the other way round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
