In a dream world i'd have Watkins, Abraham and Davis as our options. Selling Samatta and Wesley. Realistically our options will be Davis, Watkins, Wesley and Samatta. Which is at least one too many. Fair enough. I feel that in either of your options we would be one light. Without derailing the thread; An injury to Tammy in your "dream scenario" and we're left with a guy unproven at this level and a guy that struggles for goals. In your realistic option I would still keep all 4 and hope that they all can step up to the plate at times during the season but I would have considerable doubts.

useless Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 I notice that Nampalys Mendy is a free agent at the moment, think he would be a good signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post TRO Posted August 7, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 7, 2020 (edited) I would not lose money on Wesley. I have a hunch he will still come good, Like Luiz has.....but unless the injury is worse than we thought, I think he still has potential to realise......We still need a main striker, but Wes can fight his way in and prove his worth. We have a new assistant coach now so dedicated training/coaching might be a thing moving forward....Wesley can get better in a better side. Clubs who want to steal players from us.... can do one.

VillaHatesMe Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 (edited) Don't like the idea of selling Wesley, especially at the price reported. I know it's been a while since we've seen him, but I'd have thought six months of El Ghazi, Vassilev, Davis and Samatta playing striker for us would've opened more eyes on how "bad" Wesley actually was. ASTON VILLA PREMIER LEAGUE SEASON WITH WESLEY (21 matches) Goals per match: 1.29 xGoals per match: 1.12 WITHOUT WESLEY (17 matches) Goals per match: 0.82 xGoals per match: 0.96 It's not a coincidence.

I really think it is a coincidence. We became far more defensive as the season progressed, as we were way too open and conceding goals for fun. The knock-on effect of this change was that we created less, and so, scored fewer goals. Nothing to do with Wesley's absence IMO. Let's not forget he went nearly 15 games without scoring before the Burnley game in which he got injured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 I would sell Wesley in a heartbeat for anything above 10m. He's not very good and may even be worse after his ligament injury. He's a classic case of a player getting better on Villatalk whilst out injured. Honestly? I think he's rubbish. (sorry). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. We are (generalising) far too quick to write off players, especially young ones new to the country. He hasn't even had a full season. Certainly get in a baller first choice please, but Wes deserves more time and without the pressure of being a record signing and (pretty much) only choice, he could come good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or that not everybody on Villatalk have already written off a young player who played half a season yet - even before he stopped playing? And saw flashes of promise, such as in the very last game he played for us before he got Injured? Either way, we already know how you, Kenji, and DC Jonah etc feel about him so we don't need to be reminded that he is the worst but of business since Bosko Balaban on every other page Edited August 7, 2020 by JAMAICAN-VILLAN 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted August 7, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted August 7, 2020 I'm not sure the point of selling Wesley, in reality we need someone of his potential and current ability in place of Davis, playing second fiddle to a top striker. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We didn't change our approach until after the restart, so let's compare our numbers with Wes and without him BEFORE the restart. ASTON VILLA PREMIER LEAGUE SEASON WITH WESLEY (21 matches) Goals per match: 1.29 xGoals per match: 1.12 WITHOUT WESLEY (7 matches) Goals per match: 1.00 xGoals per match: 0.95 If you still think it's a coincidence it's only because you want to believe it so.
