No chance. Next you'll be telling me we're going to stick 7 passed them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aston_Villan4 Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Now that Telles is at ManU we should make an offer for Shaw on loan. Good competition for Targett. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaFaninLondon Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 (edited) This is how I see the squad: GK: absolutely fine here with Martinez and Heaton to come back, need to offload Nyland and Kalinic if poss DF: I personally think our LB and CB backup options are a concern, if Mings or Konsa gets injured I worry our reserves are good enough and likewise at LB. Would have been good to get someone like Sessegnon or Foyth from Spurs. Perfectly happy for Guilbert and Cash to stay as RB options but they seem to want to let Fred go. MF: CM options are fine with decent backup in Hourihane and Nakamba. Out wide I still feel we could strengthen more, only brought Traore in. Rashica/Sarr/Buendia/Benrahma/King would all improve our squad. I'd like to see El Ghazi stay as much as others don't seem to agree, but would be happy if he was a makewight in a deal for one of the wide players listed. ST: should be fine if Watkins stays fit (which his background suggests he will) but with Davis as the only other option until Wesley comes back we're a little light here. Signing someone like King would be ideal as he can cover ST and winger. It's a bit disappointing to hear our business may be done but I hope they're working on something in the background. Seeing that fantastic performance and result last night gives us an opportunity to bring one more high profile player to the club and really make it a great season.

While covid and brexit are going on, there is less connecting us and Venice than would be the case under normal conditions. I wasn't being entirely serious though, just speculating and trying to make something out of nothing. Passing the time etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone can suggest a logical reason why such a fight would be happening if not a footballer i'd love to hear it... They are doing a canal comparison? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We still have until the 16th to sign most of those wingers, with the exception of Rashica (Although Watford are refusing to let Sarr leave on loan and are demanding something crazy like £60million for him). Plus, as has been exhaustively discussed we were never going to fix every issue for various reasons.

Popular Post TRO Posted October 5, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 5, 2020 Its difficult to have cover for your best players......I think we will keep our powder dry until January and re visit things. Its also difficult to keep all the players happy who are not playing, in light of going out of one cup. We have had a very decent Window, lets be grateful. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
