srsmithusa Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 sell grealish. buy a forward with speed and ability to finish. two wingers that can cross and finish. and a GK. If there's a great wing back available, go ahead and bring him in, too. Players I would refuse to sell.... Konsa, Luiz, McGinn, anybody else can be moved on if the offer is good and can be used to buy one of the options above. We need Speed (albeit speed is not McGinn's strength) speed, and more speed.

VillaHatesMe Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 If we do lose Jack, I hope we go after Josip Brekalo from Wolfsburg. I know a lot of people on this board like Milot Rashica, but I think Brekalo is on a par with Rashica and could prove to be better. Not all that dissimilar to Eze, either, and could be more of a bargain. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, i love your optimism, but i think that might be a bit beyond us! The only others i mention that were not starters were the fullbacks, where i say starters or competition, because good fullbacks are hard got. I think some of the other 9 positions in the team we could improve on was the point. If we are starting Trez, AEG, Samatta, Hourihane 1st game next season then we have a problem 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has now be converted to a genuine striker with 25 goals under his belt this season, can also play effectively on the wing, a tireless worker as well, As goal scores are a at premium I would say between £15 -20 million at a guess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good player, prone to make gigantic errors at times, but now hated by all fans of Brentford, when he found out that Burnley were interested in him, he downed tools and REFUSED to play for us, was suspended, never played another game for us and engineered his move to Burnley, acted the Bertie Big Bo**ocks over the whole matter, acted very unprofessionally that's the type of man he is.

If we get pace elsewhere, Brekalo be a great pickup. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villa Stu Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 I think we all agree we need more pace in the team and someone that knows where the net is and most wouldn’t be against an experienced cb, but one area that I think we lack is to have another set piece taker. Hourihanes delivery and direct free kicks are a key asset when he plays, but I feel we could do with another free kick specialist that is a guaranteed starter. The amount we get in and around the area could get us quite a few valuable goals. The amount of times hourihane hasn’t been on the field and various players have skied their free kick or put it straight at the wall last season was a waste 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LxYoungAVFC Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 (edited) Loan out Davis to a Championship side and sell Samatta. Keep Wes as backup. One big signing in the range of 40-50m as our main striker. Additionally try to get Jean-Pierre Nsame from BSC Young Boys as third choice striker. 30 goals in 30 apps this year. Last two seasons he got around 15 goals in 30 apps but was often used as an impact sub. Edited July 28, 2020 by LxYoungAVFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichiBoi11 Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 It's no secret we lack pace, but I actually think a few smart signings who are rapid would also bring the best out of our existing players. It'd take a big outlay, but if we had a big powerful forward, with two dynamic and rapid wingers either side of him, you could then play Grealish (if he stays) or another CM with McGinn and Luiz and the attacking play could be frightening. When it's Samatta, Trezeguet and El Ghazy, the threat is severely nullified. All are capable on their day, but should be squad players at best. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently at Fiorentina and probably too ambitious for us to attempt to sign but he'd be ideal and a left sided side forward I like, we really need to be looking at a higher calibre of player now that will significantly enhance the first team. Watched a lot of Italian football in the 90s (big fan), Enrico Chiesa was more of a striker or support striker (at Parma he had a great partnership with Crespo) and would score some ridiculously stunning goals. Became more prolific at Fiorentina but not as “stylish”. His son Federico is more of a winger or wide forward. Looks a good player and I would love us to try for the top talents in Italy such as him & Belotti. Edited July 28, 2020 by Jas10 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
