There just doesn't appear to be the right type of player that we need available to us as things stand and you can see a huge clamor from us and a whole host of other clubs, some who finished above us by quite some distance too, for the same few players. Some serious scouting needs to be being done if we are to get who we need.... whoever that is! They are out there.....Its just the average joe, like me, don't know who they are. We need a striker, even Doris the tea lady knows that, a winger with pace, who can cross the ball.........but I think we need a Barry, Townsend or Richardson in midfield, foragers who can win the ball and who have an eye to start an attack.

gwi1890 Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 2 hours ago, OxfordVillan said: It remains to be seen how much money Villa have to spend this transfer window, I’ve assumed it’ll be similar to last summer plus anything raised via sales. Incoming players that I think would improve us as well as being smart; (1) Josh King. Immediate starter. Can play across the front 3 roles. Knows the Premier League. I’d imagine he’d be priced around £15-20m as in last year of contract. Other clubs that we probably expect to be pushing next season also reportedly interested. A purchase for us is a dent to opposition clubs. (2) Iheanacho. Immediate starter. Pace, Dynamism, and can score. Still young enough (23) to make lots of improvement. Likely cost around £25-30m. (3) Chris Smalling. Immediate starter. Free. Apparently hasn’t been able to agree terms at Roma. Could be a superb partner next to Mings. Wealth of experience. (4) Ismaila Sarr. Immediate starter. Can play across the front 3. Excellent 1st Premier League season. Likely cost £35-40m. (5) Ryan Fraser. Free. Good competition for the left hand side/wing position. Undoubtedly an upgrade on Trezeguet or ElGhazi. Could easily be a starter. Obtaining Fraser also stops rival clubs making progress. (6) Joe Hart. Free. Don’t laugh. One season deal. Short term cover. Free. Yes, I mentioned free twice. (7) Nampalys Mendy. Free. Cover for defensive midfield. (8) Danny Rose. Year left on contract. I would think maybe £10-15m to get. Would likely be in front of Targett, could force Targett to raise levels. Loads of experience. Good for at least another couple of seasons. Here’s your potential starting lineup for September having spent in the region of £100m. I’m assuming Heaton and Wesley not available. ..............................Hart......................... Konsa......Smalling.....Mings........Rose ............................Luiz............................ .............McGinn..............Grealish........... .....Sarr............Iheanacho..........King.....

Reina is the better option at the moment. He has actually played a game of football in the last 18 months. Joe Hart made a career out of having a good posture and seeming confident and authoritative. SInce people cottoned on to him, the confidence has wained and he hasn't been very good at all. Add to that how much is expected of goalkeepers with being able to use their feet (the exact reason Pep got rid of him) and you have a very substandard keeper in Joe Hart.

A keeper that was England’s number 1 for 10 years and has 75 international caps is not ‘****’ That was then and this is now though. Who else is in this illustrious dream team of yours anyway? So far we've got Joe Hart and also Origi in attack. I'm intrigued to know more. Have you grabbed Daniel Sturridge yet? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Hart might once have had the potential to be a top keeper, which Reina undoubtedly has been, but he needed to cut out the clangers and improve his reading of the game. He didn't and he's less of a keeper now than he was 10 years ago. Big no from me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hart has largely been garbage for a few years now. He's currently third choice at Burnley and completely out of the running for an England spot. He's absolutely done.

Our organisation and general defending was so much better so I would be happy to see Reina fill in until Heaton is back. Hart seems to have hit a real trough with his form and would probably take a lot longer to get his confidence back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abdulaziz1 Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 How much would David Brooks cost? Can’t imagine that he’ll be more than 25m. 20m would be fantastic for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Hart was outstanding in his prime. But sadly something seems to have gone wrong for him now and he is pretty much finished as a footballer. He hasn't been PL standard for at least 3 years, and that's being generous. Reina is the better option. If Hart wants to try and resurrect his career he should go back to his boyhood club Shrewsbury. But sadly money will dictate so I either see him going to America or China or just disappearing completely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkLillis Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 28 minutes ago, TRO said: Guilbert can have good games and some horror shows......Targett lets his winger get crosses in too easily, he stands off, instead of making life difficult for his opponent, better going forward, but thats not enough, at this level. They are both good players in my opinion. Hopefully we can continue to coach them to defend more effectively. Its the guys in front of them that need improvement. Better wingers please!
