Just a thought, if we don't sign anyone today or tomorrow, I don't think its a shoe in that we will be relegated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChinlessWonder Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 I'd go with Min 5 as well; If we're going to keep playing the same system... Absolute must - 3 new forwards, 1 Left, 1 Right, 1 Centre. Also, a full back that can play either side. Very useful - Another good centre mid to compete with McGinn and Luiz, and a back up for Grealish in that attacking midfield role Cherry on top - A goalkeeper and another fullback.

useless Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 No one at the club, management or owners are satisfied with last years seventeenth place finish and don't want a season of struggle next season, so wheels are already in motion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack is superb on the left. Samatta and Wesley are both crap, hoping for a big season for Keinan. Trezeguet on the right is a bit like Weimann, works like a horse and will ship in with a goal every now and then but limited player. Our defence is ok. Targett still terrifies me defensively but he is good going forward. Heaton on his way back. I don't think it's as bad as people are suggesting if we make no signings. It’s the hope that kills you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny_Villaman84 Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 19 minutes ago, It's Your Round said: Florian Thauvin was only 22 when he was at Newcastle, playing in a poor side and only made 13 appearances. His record since going back to Marseille is much better, 55 goals in 121 appearances. I haven’t watched him play recently but on the face of it, he could be a smart signing for our front three. If he moves to us, I will begin a happy boy! That what want see a player this good with a lethal left foot that why I keep moaning about this since Snodgrass left and before this Downing left we didn't get good left foot winger for many years. Only downhill of this was defensive contribution it is important to help out right back, it is should part our system full protection our goal from all way up to down. I am sure he will better player than he played for Newcastle as experience will make him a better and strong mental player. Anyone or more link to new another left foot winger we link to move to Aston Villa? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChinlessWonder Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Players linked with so far that i think would have a positive impact and improve us, in order of how confident i am of that; Trippier Origi McCarthy Edouard Watkins The others i'm not sure about or generally think will not improve us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some players just can't hack the league, and Ligue one is relatively poor compared to it. Think I'd prefer Watkins to him. Fundamentally different players who will not compete for the same positions. I've watched him enough times to say he is a very good player, and yes I've also watched him live for Marseille a few years back. Cracking stadium the Velodrome is after the renovations. And again Ligue 1 is a better league than the Championship. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Shakespeare was brought in by Smith, they've known each other since Smith was a youth footballer. Shakespeare hasn't been brought in to be the next Villa manager, makes no sense whatsoever. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus it's well known a lot of players don't like the fish bowl of attention players get in that city, so it could have made it more difficult for him to settle as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without the lockdown I think DS would have gone - as he would of if we were relegated. There were strong rumours he would have gone after the chelsea game had it not been postponed - straight after the season end we were linked with another head coach. Its only my opinion but I think the odds of smith not lasting the whole of next season are quite high. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
