Grealish has been a top drawer player for a couple of years. Mcginn was nothing special this year at all Mings was purchased from the premier league.

They scored 43 goals between them. They're going to be cleaning up the end of season awards. Benrahma was Whoscored's best rated player in the league etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now we have managed to stay up by the skin of our teeth with the 3 players who are Prem level we need to be aiming our sights higher with our signings. We have rich owners. When Man City and Chelsea were in this position they didn't raid Brentford or the rest of the championship !!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need someone with that kind of return against the best defences in the world, over 38 games. I’d rather we spent the money on players who have scored consistently at the top level.

You’d need at least 80-100m to buy someone at that level. They also wouldn’t want to come here. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a winger/attacking midfielder, that is a magnificent return (don't forget the 9 assists). We're not signing a winger with a 1 in 2 record in a top league, we're not one of the Manchester clubs 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rolta Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 We need to improve the team. That's the main thing. These players would definitely improve us. Bowen is a similar level of signing, and a recent one, and he looks at home. With these two players no more Trezeguet and no more Samatta. There will be more signings too (if they happen). Some signings are going to be easier to make than others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaHatesMe Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 13 minutes ago, Genie said: If we blow £50m on 2 Championship players then I’m worried we’ve not learned our lesson. At that kind of price they HAVE to make the step up, which is a risk and it’s pressure. I'm fairly confident that no matter where they end up, the prices of Watkins and Benrahma won't total £50 million. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, just to confirm, we shouldn’t be looking at Benrahma. We need to instead look for a winger who scored 17 goals last season against some of the best defences in the world. Bet there is plenty of them about. Lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
