Previously linked to Spurs under Pochettino. Not a bad comparison at all. McGinn more dangerous going forward, but Linetty is a bit better disrupting play. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At Man City he has to face the ball maybe around 30% of the time. At Villa it's going to be around 30-40% possession for us. He's so error prone at City when they dominate the ball at Villa it's going to be increased as we won't have the ball as much. All our CB's are better than Stones at defending. Their distribution is improving too. You see i completely disagree based on the very point you mention. a lot of defenders can’t handle the constant concentration etc of a team that always has the ball. when they go to sides that defend all the time like ours they flourish.

He's very similar to Pierre Emile-Hojbjerg in style of play, though PEH has been more effective going forward than Baptiste has shown thus far.

bojong Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 No offense to anyone but I'm looking forward this window's: players who actually are out of out league but who people don't think are good enough and say we should rather play an unproven kid, and players who we should get rid of who are actually players who we have no chance of getting rid of.

VillaFaninLondon Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Osimhen gone to Napoli: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/africa/53609226 A player I wanted at Villa but 80 million Euros, jeez that is expensive. He has huge potential though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately I don't see any scenario in which he leaves Italy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thunderball Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Not sure if its been mentioned on here but there is a strong rumour that we are closing on Karlan Grant (22y.o. Huddersfield Town Striker) for circa £10m. Talented boy, good competition, hope there is a bigger name in mind too. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OLDVILLAIN Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 grant would be a decent signing and would be a replacement for davis..we just need a replacement for samatta and a marquee signing striker to round it all off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted July 31, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted July 31, 2020 Jeezy peezy. People are impatient for signings already. We only knew we would be in the PL 5 days ago. Half our targets will have been immediately dropped and the other half were probably only partially in contact. You can't just take someone from luke warm to signed on the line in a couple of days. I'm worried with the window open to October a lot of players might not make their mind up till well after the new season starts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Don't think we will be signing a player like Grant unless one of Samatta or Wesley are leaving, as we won't be signing him as first choice to solve our goals scoring issue at premier league level.
