VillaHatesMe Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 11 minutes ago, MotoMkali said: Apparently berardi has been really good the last few seasons. He hasn't progressed as much as expected but he seems to have made a pretty big jump this season with 13 goals and 7 assists in 29 games compared to 8 and 4 in 35 last year. It seems he was incredibly hot to start the season though scoring 6 and assisting 2 before November so those stats should be taken with a grain of salt. But 7 and 5 is pretty decent in probably 16 or 17 games in a defenders league. This isn't your grandfather's Serie A. More goals scored per match in Italy than England this year. GOALS PER MATCH Bundesliga: 3.21 Serie A: 3.02 Premier League: 2.72 Ligue 1: 2.52 La Liga: 2.48 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does he have incriminating pictures of people or something? Milan aside (where you should expect a decent win percentage), he's seemed like mad garbage. When he took over Napoli had 9 points through 10 matches. They've had 50 in the 27 since he took over. That's more PPM (1.85) than he had at Milan (1.72). Anyway, this is far too much Napoli discussion for a Villa transfers thread. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me it shows the disparity in quality between the top and the bottom of the league in both the Serie A and Bundesliga. Ligue 1 would normally fall into that category but it has been a one horse race for about 5 years now so I'm not surprised the number rof goals scored is so low.

I would be expecting more than 9 points from my first 10 matches, with that squad (whilst I necked beers, cappacinos, ate cured meats and did sod all but pick the starting 11). I'm happy to see him doing well now but he seemed to always be getting sacked or quitting anytime I heard his name! Used to love him as a player. Absolute shit-house destroyer who could play a bit too. Kante/Makekele weren't the 1st midget dm's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Camara kid I mentioned earlier is that type. Not the same build as Gattuso, but always finds himself in the middle of it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theboyangel Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 (edited) (Pinch of salt with the link needed) Honestly never heard of him but a quick Mooney reveals he’s a 27yr old french left back. maybe a replacement for Taylor to add competition for Targett? Appreciate it’s a twitter link so necessary levels of belief required. Edited July 29, 2020 by theboyangel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m relatively happy with Targett though wouldn’t say no to competition/replacement for Taylor. i don’t see RB as a priority. I think Guilbert will improve with the experience of this season and I felt Elmo was a major catalyst in our revival he deserves another year. Your list is spot on though. Maybe add a CB depending on Engels and a GK depending if Heaton is fit to start. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Rico Henry anyone? To compete with Taylor. If Brentford dont go up I imagine he’d be available for around 10m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Demarai Gray, David Brooks, Rico Henry, Emiliano Buendia, Ebere Eze, Ismail Sarr, Todd Cantwell, Philip Billing, Said Benrahma, Abdoulaye Doucoure, Milot Rashica Just a random list of players that I think we should be looking at to go with the unknown YouTube superstars we’ve all never heard of.

I'm pretty much from Exeter and I'd love him to sign for us. He looks like he has everything you want in a striker—big, strong, quick. He can play wide or up front. Though I haven't seen him play other than against us to be fair. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
