Inanacho 25m Sarr 35m Eze 20m Stones 20m Sell Engels Get rid of if possible Kalanic, Nyland, Jota, Lansbury, Hogan and Bree. I think you have suggested some good players there, why would you sell Engels? What would you do with Elmohamady? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elmo for me should be replaced and we should buy a new first choice right back BUT in my theoretical budget there isn't room for it whilst the four major issues are 'solved' and Aarons would be the player I go for.

No-one should take their place in the team or squad for granted. It is healthy to have competition for places I think. I think that Konsa is beginning to show quite how good he is and he won’t relinquish his place in the team, it’s his shirt to lose now for me. Engels started the season in fantastic form and looked a real player but I think he can get back to that. Aarons is a good suggestion, he’ll go far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aarons is a good suggestion, he’ll go far But I could only go for him if I believed a centre back wasn't a higher priority, which I do. On the other hand, in the unlikely event that Jack is sold for the 80 million figure I would buy two full backs (one for each side) sell Taylor and Elmo then spend the rest in midfield without selling a current midfielder not already mentioned. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that Mings and Konsa are beginning to have a fine partnership at the back, they both ended the season in fine form. I think that now we have stayed up, Grealish could stay at Villa and become a legend, if he’s not already I also think that Elmohamady and Taylor have been fine servants to this club 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could buy Aarons, Buendia and a left back like Malang Sarr (20m) or Wijndal (10m or so) for less who collectively would make us stronger. Edit... I just looked up Malang Sarr and he is out of contract, WE MUST get on the phone. Edited August 2, 2020 by paul514 adding 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wijndal plays for Az in Holland he is 20 and again highly rated, he gets lots of assists. Edited August 2, 2020 by paul514 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even so, do you disagree with my choices? You are correct. Must've been another relegated players purchase price I was confusing with. People were raving about Sarr so I got him fantasy well before lockdown and he didn't get me many points not that that's necessary relevant.

Digavilla Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 If Deulofeu can recover fm his ACL , he would be my first choice’s signing , their best player & probably wouldn’t gone down if he wasn’t injured. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Actually Injuries aside I actually wouldn’t mind McCarthy. £5m isn’t much at all and if the criteria is PL experience it will add to squad depth, can’t see Roy letting him go though. I also worry on the wages front as it would most likely be his last contract. Not against it all if the figures are right. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do laugh though Some Villa fans: We need PL experienced players!!! (linked to PL experienced player) Some Villa fans: No, not that one. He's shit!!!! There are Premier League experienced players which are decent, There are Premier League experienced players which are sh*t. We need to be avoiding the latter and signing those that are deemed 'better quality' with a bit of a life in the tank who can benefit us and offer something to the cause. Not someone who's looking for a last pay day etc. So I agree, if we are linked with sh*t then I am in agreement with fellow Villans that are opposed to signing such 'shit players'. For every Neil Taylor and Danny Drinkwater there are Nathen Redmond's and Gerard Delufeou's. It's about signing the right PL quality, not the "mutton dressed as lamb" sort. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
