Tomaszk Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 1 minute ago, VillaChris said: It would make sense to bin off Taylor and try to get a young LB in. Given Hearts have gone down they need the money. Targett will remain first choice but he'll pick up injuries so Hickey could get about 10 prem games and more in the cups. If we're seriously interested I think he'd consider the move. I forgot they went down, good shout. I think you're right, he's better off here. The Scots Championship isn't going to improve him too much. Would really like this deal. We missed out on Justin who can play LB and RB, or rather he turned us down. This would fill that awkward squad gap. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incidentally I wouldn’t want Iheanacho. He has a pretty dire goal record for club and country and there must be a reason he never finds favour wherever he is. Because both aren't playing regularly at their clubs and the owners' vision is to get the team back near the top level again. Plus Tammy has played with us before and has an affinity with the club. I'm not keen on Iheanacho either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Targett is a decent lower half left back and Taylors got 1 year left for backup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we will spend a fair bit on quality rather than quantity like we did this season, this is why need to sell the likes of Taylor before he runs his contract out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know we have rich owners but let's not get too far ahead of ourselves. Didn't the Monaco owner put the whole squad up for sale? We've been linked with Ben Yedder before. If Wet Spam can sign Haller and Leicester can sign Tielemans and Wolves can sign Moutinho and Jimenez then why can't we be a bit ambitious? They might not be the most realistic signings but I was just giving examples of proven goalscorers who could be targeted. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd still go for it for around £20 million if it doesn't interfere with a striker, winger(s) and a mid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danceoftheshamen Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 There really does seem to be a shortage of get-table Premier League Strikers at the moment doesn't there. What about the Teams who've missed out on promotion Like Cardiff & whoever loses the Playoff Final on Tues? Any pickings there i wonder.. (I won't mention Swansea for obvious reasons). A few Fulham players i like and Brentford ones too... a team we are well aware of of course with Benrahma & Watkins having been touted on here may times. Really struggling for strikers with Prem experience who would actually come here though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 McCarthy is unglamorous, yet the kind of steady premier league level performer that we could have done with last season, the likes of Burnley, Palace, and Newcastle United are full of such players. I don't think he'd be the worst signing, but that article is written by Simon Jones, I don't think I've ever seen him get one Villa transfer right, just seems to make stuff up, so I doubt that there's any truth to it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
