We do need some mentally strong players, but I don't think it is difficult to play for Aston Villa, perhaps it was in the late 70's when they ran more than Mo Farah...and 110% workrate was our mantra. We have lost too many games for it to be hard, winning is hard, in the sense of the work you have to put in to achieve it.

I agree, this wasn't a complaint about our fans but there is an expectation, it is not like playing for Brentford or Bournemouth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No disrespect to them, but we are only flirting with them through poor judgment in the past......We are a much bigger enterprise all together, than both them. Aston Villa are a massive football club, who have under performed for years.....Our fans know this and know its not right...and that is where the expectation derives from....what was the famous quote from Deano " They don't realise how big they are"....we just haven't shaped up to it, in the recent past. We have got what we have deserved, don't get me wrong......but the fans never deserved poor performance from the club, they did their job in their support. Hopefully a new era and a management structure that can kiss goodbye to failure. Ps I have a feeling a lot has been learnt and this window will highlight it.

thabucks Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 Be gutted if Weston McKennie ends up at Southampton as he is exactly what we need IMO he has the quality to be a superstar and similar type of player to Essien. My wish list is as follows: Aaron Hickey Kristoffer Ajer Weston McKennie Karlol Linnety Dwight McNeil Emiliano Buendia Patrick Schick ??? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe swap Schick for Weghorst, but dunno how much Wolfsburg will want for him. If McNeil is too expensive, swap him for Brooks.

chips'ngravy Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 Excuse my lack of research on this thread, but aren't we in for Eze? If not, why not? I see Palace have had a bid rejected and that QPR are holding out for 16m. Surely that puts him in our sphere of attainables? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 We're mostly going to be buying players with premier league experience. We've just barely survived as one of the worst teams to have ever survived, Smith wants players who he thinks will come in and make a difference right away without needing a bedding in period to not just Premier league football but to life in England. Can see us going for the likes of Clyne, Albrighton, James McCarthy, Callum Wilson and so on. He doesn't have premier league experience but something tells me that will also go for Benrahma regardless of whether Brentford are promoted tomorrow or not.

OLDVILLAIN Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 (edited) Brentford are a selling club..so i reckon they will sell benrahma to us regardless wether they go up or stay down...for a scandalous price may i add.
