sir_gary_cahill Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 (edited) We’ve been linked with Milot Rashica again on skysports.com/football, it just won’t go away, rumoured price tag of £30m. It also says that Brighton, West Ham and Wolves want him too according to the article. He looks very good on YouTube Edited May 14, 2020 by sir_gary_cahill 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Bremen are playing on Monday night I think so good chance to watch him. I saw a Bremen game before the break and can't say he stood out but respect he seems an up and coming player. Would love to show a little more ambition and go for someone like Leon Bailey but guess he's a little above our pay grade. Same for the Leipzig guys I mentioned last week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bailey isnt a regular starter anymore for Leverkusen, a friend saw him live last season and said was one of worst live players he ever seen. Problem with these signings is we need to get them before they go these clubs. Teams like Celtic or RB Salzburg are good at picking these players up so we should be looking at similar models to them 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still scored a brace away to Bayern Munich, Dortmund when he came on as a sub in the 4-3 win (one of the games of the season in any league) and also v Rangers in the europa. Seems he still gets linked to Chelsea although that's a lazy link as I think they'll seriously go in for Sancho. To me he's the sort who's stock has lowered a bit so wondering if he could try to get him. Bit like Felipe Anderson being linked to Man. United for a year, it dosen't happen and then two years later West Ham sign him. Bailey is still rapid and can score goals so I'd still be pretty confident he's an upgrade on the others we have. Leverkusen are actually one of those clubs who have fantastic scouting and pick up promising players, usually get good ones from South America like Alario and Paulinho in their current team.

I would much prefer Rashica. I have only seen Bailey play twice and he was awful in both (so it’s not a completely fair assessment from me) but I have seen rashica play about 6-7 games and he has been outstanding. He is fast, scores and gets assist and can take set pieces. His stats are also better than baileys this season and he is in a relegation battle. I also think Rashica would be the cheaper of the 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolves currently have Adama Traore playing where Rashica plays so they probably don’t need him. If we stay up, we can beat off competition from Brighton and West Ham. We have to show ambition!

sne Posted May 15, 2020 Author Share Posted May 15, 2020 5 minutes ago, sir_gary_cahill said: Is he good? He's been one of very few highlights in a pathetic Werder Bremen this season. He's pretty versatile and can play anywhere in the attacking line but I think LW would be his usual position. Good pace, explosive, agile, good with the ball, tricky and a solid shot and cross. Only seen him maybe 10 or so times over 2 seasons so not enough to really judge. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All teams mentioned have plenty of wide players, West Ham got Snodgrass, Yarmolenko, Lanzini and Felipe Anderson for example. Brighton got that Leandro Tossard who people were going mad about last summer but really hasn't done much this season, the Iranian guy and also Jose Izquierdo who seems to have been injured for two years. I'd say our need is greater than those teams. Probably within next 12 months we we will be signing a player for over 30m if we stay up.

thabucks Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 We have the ambitious owners and wealth behind us so there is no reason we shouldn’t be In the mix for players of Rashica calibre. Whether they will join us another question. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 He's the kind of player we should have bought instead of Trezeguet. Man, Trezeguet sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
