Imagine a midfield of Jack, Dougie and McGinn feeding 3 quailty forwards I'd f**king love Belotti! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. Makes sense. I just hope we spend on a lot of.money on 3 or 4 players. 1 striker , 2 wingers and a strong box to box midfielder. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaFaninLondon Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 From the relegated teams I'd take Sarr, Deulofeu, Callum Wilson, Ake, Brooks, Ramsdale and possibly King. Ryan Fraser left Bournemouth but is available on a free, would certainly be worth looking at. For me we need a striker who scores goals, two wingers, and a CM. I also think we could do with upgrading RB and LB, for me Guilbert and Targett are ok going forward but pretty weak defensively and there should be better options out there. I like the look of Konsa and Mings at CB, they look like they've formed a very solid partnership. If our signings can go to the next level I'm hopeful Jack will still stay. Pretty essential we keep Doug Luiz too who's been amazing last few weeks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Zatman Posted July 26, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 26, 2020 i think we need to look at players beyond the relegated teams, not saying they are bad players but seems like a narrow minded transfer approach and to look elsewhere. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be one or two gems in every relegated team IMO. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaHatesMe Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 (edited) Might be too old (he's 27) considering the philosophy of what this club has said it's looking for, but I'd be quite pleased if we made a big splash and got Alassane Plea from Monchengladbach. Had 10 goals and 10 assists in 27 appearances. 0.42 xG per 90. Very creative player, for himself and others. Also would take a look at Arthur Cabral at Basel. He's 22 and would likely be in the £5 million range. Like his potential. Edited July 26, 2020 by VillaHatesMe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those suggesting players from relegated teams are suggesting the standouts, the players that wouldn't be relegated right now if the rest of the team weren't shit. Would you find it weird if Man City signed Grealish if we'd gotten relegated today? Grealish doesn't lose his skill and ability just because he wasn't good enough to drag the whole team up to his level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyAnty Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Smith said he was meeting with Purslow tomorrow morning and they have a plan for if we got relegated and one for staying in premiership. There is 6weeks to start of new season. I think we will do alot of business in the next 14 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quazzie goat Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 We need competition at left back, get rid of Taylor. Two new starting wide players, a creative central midfielder, a box to box midfielder, a starting striker and another centre half as back up. Think we’ll see Hogan, Lansbury, Taylor, Nyland, Kalanic and Jota leave. Wouldn’t be fussed if Hause goes too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that we are staying in the prem, yes I think it would be a smart move to bring him home. I would bring in 2 new wingers and a striker as priority starters, rest of the team is ok but could do with some competition and a better squad over all (My first post in this thread, didn't see the point of this until we knew which division we were in) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 I wonder how much Tammy & Albrighton would cost? Must be 20 goals between the 2 of them. Marc still lives in Birmingham btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 (edited) Smith has talked before about how late we did some of our business last year and it didn’t leave time for people to get settled (Luiz). Last year it was inevitable that would happen as we had so many to buy. This time I’d say we are looking at 7 max (and even then some would be for a long term project and not required to be thrown in the see end and play straight away). I’d expect most business to be done within the next 3 weeks. Edited July 26, 2020 by mikeyp102 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
