Believe it just happened with Traore, but how often are signings announced on a match day? Thats a genuine question. Seems like even if a deal is done, might be smart to hold off an announcement until a non-match day to generate additional interest in the activities of the club.

We have effectively 3 centre backs to play for two positions We have 2 left backs to play for one position and not many like either.......We don't have limitless money choices have to be made and your choice isn't a sensible one. Exactly that's why we can get by with the options we have at CB and LB unless any of those move on. We play 3 up front not one we need options all across that front line currently one of those option is a midfielder (Jack). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I the only one who completely forgot it's a match day tomorrow? Maybe he'll fly in tomorrow for a medical and be announced Friday morning instead then? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Some people think Jack plays better as an attacking midfielder in the middle, myself included, that doesn’t however mean he isn’t going to start as a wide forward on the left all year which he will just like last year, Barkley’s signing confirmed that today.

This is a weird point to me (the ‘one of those options is a midfielder’) - Jack’s very definitely a left winger. He’s maybe one we think could play behind a striker if we played that formation, and he can play well in central mid, and he could do a job wide right, but the idea he’s somehow out of position in the forward line is strange. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently Bayerns Sporting Director met with their chief yesterday etc. Why would he go there when Villa have already beaten Bayern in the European Cup final? 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-R Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Well now Barkley joined, and obvious Jack stays on left, no to RashiCaaaCaaaCaaa joining. So instead i hope we sign another Striker and a CB because we really could be in a spot of bother with Injurys to Watkins, Mings or Konsa, we need some replacements.

It doesn't bother me in the slightest he has been unlucky, they are unrelated and before that he had one injury in his history as a player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have 4 CB's for 2 positions? We normally play a front 3 so need options all across the front in case of injuries, up front doesn't just mean CF! I agree it does look like Jack will continue to play LW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Engels has either been injured all this time or Dean Smith basically hates him which is what is rumoured, also Engels and Hause are crap. If we are counting all the players who play in those front three positions then we have 8 players..... whatever way you run the argument it makes no sense when you need defenders.
