Jamie said Everton and was talking about them and the signings they've made when Harry shouted over him 'villa'. I usually think he talks aloaf of old bollocks but I though he spoke really well of us and our dealings. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh king, wouldn’t cost a lot, plays upfront or wide so would be good cover to have. Can’t see us getting benrahma to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaVilla Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 (edited) so, chances of any more signings??? (i hope we get 1 or 2 more). Options? LB - Henry, Rico, Kelly? MC - Hughes, Billing? L/R/C AMs / Striker - Cantwell, Sarr, Brooks, Buendia, Benrahma, King, Grant? i think the really positive thing now, if we can afford to buy another player ot two, is we dont have another game until after the window shuts, and with the unbelievable start we have made to the season, im sure some players who might have raised an eyebrow at us before the season started, would like the idea of coming here now seeing how we are doing, and some of the players we now have.....

GingerCollins29 Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 I dont think any left back from the championship is any better than targett. Therefore, if they eont challenge for a 1st team place, whats the point. Buendia is the only one to consider for forward line when factoring wages and price tag.

mrchnry Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Harry Kane wouldn't be a back up. I agree with you but I like the way the club is being run and I like the romanticism of the manager and the captain being fans so i'd happily not take him.

Delphinho123 Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 I bet Rico Henry watched that Liverpool match and saw what Watkins did and thought, ‘I want a piece of that’. Only thing with him is his size. He’s not the biggest so could struggle at this level physically? He’d also cost 15-20m so if the club want to sign him, for that money, he’s need to be seriously considered as a starter. I think Buendia will be available for circa 20m too.

I think Buendia will be available for circa 20m too. i like Henry, but i do kind of think i would like a LB who is a good 6ft, we arent the biggest team and free kicks/corners etc, both defensively and offensively are so important, height isnt the be all end all, but i kinda would like a carbon copy of Cash at LB, 6ft, fairly strong, ok defensively, great going forward, fast...... i dunno, not sure there are any good and physically imposing left backs in the lower leagues who are any good? Wouldnt say no to Henry, but i wouldnt say no to a OAP with a stick to replace Taylor, so the bar isnt high...... Henry also has a shocking injury history, 600 days + absence over 2 serious injuries, thats a lot for a 23 year old (1.5 years total absence), also isnt he injured currently? Is Lloyd Kelly and good?? Edited October 7, 2020 by MaVilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
