Mat Kendrick's Dentist Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 As uninspiring as it gets. We've brought in a whole new recruitment team and are going through Steve Bruce's Championship shopping list 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's decent and better than what we have but we need to stop dragging the arse out of this. Villa hierarchy would of been in contact with folk at Bournemouth over the last week regarding Wilson. If they held an interest in King though as an alternative ( which you'd hope they did , concerning if not ) then they must know the number they want. We can't play back and forth again for another week. If we know want Bournemouth value him, pay it . We need a striker in. Badly. But he’s not. Sorry we are desperate but he’s not.

VillaFaninLondon Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 11 minutes ago, RicRic said: I value your opinion highly however i only disagree with batshuayi as i wouldn’t want him as our main forward he’s inconsistency would be a problem .. im worried, concerned and disappointed as we need to bring in FIVE new signings minimum and we only have ONE and its not in a position which is a priority such as striker and winger. I just dont know why we have limited ourselves to links in the UK .. other than Rashica there really hasnt been any players we have been closely linked with. I feel Watkins will be signed by Thursday if he isnt well i wont be that disappointed because quite frankly i dont know what im gonna get with him in the Premier League however i would like to see him given the chance and im not writing him off .. just that i didnt see any long range strikes and a couple turns out the box and a few curl strikes hit the back of the net .. i didnt see many varieties just seen benrahma put it in the box and him getting on the end of it Yeah no one really knows how Watkins will take to the Prem if we sign him. We have to remember that such amazing strikers like Rudy Gestede and Ross McCormack once scored 20 goals at that level. I don't think Watkins looks anything like those types of player but it's whether he can make that step up. Dwight Gayle for example has a really good attitude, he's one of those players that is lethal in the Championship but completely ineffective in the PL. Watkins could be the same. Then you've got players like Batshuayi whose career has gone downhill but was once one of the most promising strikers in Europe. I personally think he could be revived if he gets game time and confidence and if we don't go for him he'll end up doing that somewhere else. But our opinions are all different.

grobs Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 I think the signings we are linked with must check villa talk and that’s the reason nobody wants to play for us 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rayk Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Just now, JAMAICAN-VILLAN said: I think you are so eager to argue you totally missed the point of my post. I'm talking in particular about links to Wilson, King etc as the second (SAFE) striking option in the pursuit for "2 strikers" . I'm not counting Watkins as he is an exciting young player and i'm pretty confident we will get him. I think they are also looking for a "Solid" inexpensive option with knowledge of the Premier League who will average 8 - 12 goals in addition to the likes of Watkins. My point is I would abandon that strategy, in favour of a foreign option, at this point before going way too far down the list of "Safe" options for that position. No I’m not ‘eager to argue’. If this is true it is as clear as day that the club just aren’t prepared to pay for our top 5 transfer targets and are settling for our cheaper bottom five. This could always be a cunning ruse but until we sign Edouard or Watkins I doubt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

obelixe_ Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Also from the Percy article. Would be fine with King coming in if we got a goalscorer like Watkins or Edouard to play beside him 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
