Popular Post villan-scott Posted July 27, 2020 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted July 27, 2020 Not a fan of all the Wilson talk in here. I think he’s very overrated. Contributed very little this season, and missed some big chances in their games towards the end of the season from what I saw. If we’re splashing out on an English striker it’s got to be Tammy. Younger, knows the club, and bagged 15 league goals last season, with a much higher ceiling. Plus if he comes in it increases the chances Grealish stays. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alreadyexists Posted July 27, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted July 27, 2020 (edited) Sarr from Watford might be ok. It was his first season in the PL and did alright despite their relegation, I think he has more to give as only 22/23 I think. If we can get him for a good price he’s probably an upgrade on Jota, or probably Trez too. Edited July 27, 2020 by alreadyexists Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post rodders0223 Posted July 27, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 27, 2020 Callum Wilson. Played for England. 28 years old. Prime years for a striker. 40 PL goals. About a 1 in 3 striker at this level. Played in a Bournemouth team that have comfortably stayed up at this level for the past 4 or 5 years before it all went pete tong this year. Not good enough for a Villa side who just scraped 35 points and had a strike force that registered 0 goals between then in their last 20(?) combined appearances. This is what I love about Villa fans. It will all be cheeky bids for Isco. Trying to sign Poch and making a statement and "why aren't we in for X player who has gone to Leicester." 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterw Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 I agree with sarr - we need pace and he has bags of it. A forward is a must and although tammy is a good shout we need to be able to create chances as he's not the type of player to do that. So Benhrama possibly also. defender and midfielder also needed. Nathan Ake if the rumours of Man City aren't true. I like Max Aarons also and an upgrade on Guilbert who I'd keep in reserve. Pukki may not be a bad shout, but we also have wesley so need one more as I doubt we'd tempt Tammy especially with the wages he'll be on. I don't know who but there will be someone from some European league who will fit. Time for the scouts to step up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if he did - why would he come here? He will back himself to a challenge Werner next year. If it doesn't work out he will unfortunately likely move to anothe side that plays in Europe.

LondonLax Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 I can’t see why Chelsea’s top scorer will want to trade Champions League football and a title race for a squad who narrowly avoided relegation on the last day. I presume it is from the same posters who thought he would come to us last season as well? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 (edited) Have no problem with Wilson, my problem is his wages apparently he is on £100k a week.. We need to be smarter than that. Edited July 27, 2020 by dudevillaisnice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villan-scott Posted July 27, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted July 27, 2020 To all the Abraham naysayers, he isn’t signing a new deal there because he wants assurances about playing time according to reports, which looks unlikely to be forthcoming. So there is a chance he becomes available this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d imagine some of the bigger clubs would want him (Spurs back up to Kane) but we could potentially offer him first team football rather than stuck on the bench somewhere else. Tammy could be in this position too with Chelsea signing Werner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He isnt just going to pie off his boyhood club and CL football inmediatepy on the basis they have bought strikers to challenge him. That's how football works.

Abraham's whole reputation so far is based on 2 good championship seasons with Bristol city and Villa. In the PL, he did nothing at Swansea and still hasn't really got a look in at Chelsea. He's a punt in this league as much as the next guy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHO has done nothing in comparison to Abraham. If Chelsea get a good offer I’m sure they’d be open to selling him. His history here would make us attractive to him.
