useless Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 (edited) Well I allowed for that but I too tired to finish the sentence. Point is is that this talk of plan a and plan be is misleading, our 'plan a' will be a list of names and if none of those sign, then we will move on to 'plan b', it's the way most football clubs operate these days. It's not like we're going to try and sign Abraham and if that doesn't work think to ourselve right lets try and sign sturridge then.

sne Posted August 25, 2020 Author Share Posted August 25, 2020 Just now, Mark_1989 said: Picture this. One on one with the keeper v Arsenal coming in from the left hand side, which one would you think has a chance of scoring? Sturridge or Davies. West Ham ball across the box, who’s air kicking? Sturridge or Samatta. my point is still I’d have more confidence in Sturridge scoring than what we CURRENTLY have. But Sturridge wont even make it on to the pitch. He is always injured, always, always, always. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hippo Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 (edited) If we sign Daniel Sturbridge on any sort of deal - that sends the opposite signal that the marquee signing we were talking about yesterday . Same old Villa. Edited August 25, 2020 by hippo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rayk Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Hertha are talking up Piatek (having signed him in January) after an average start amid talk from Fiorentina. If we were interested in January, maybe interested still? Maxi Gomez from last Summer’s rumours must be available for sale given the fire sale at Valencia, but I just don’t think he’d settle in England. There must be a dozen other players like that. I just hope we get a good-un. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same old Villa. Can understand everyone’s opposition to Sturridge but I was merely stating him as a possibility as a ‘short term fix’ as at the minute we look likely to enter the season with Samatta and Davies. (1 league goal this calendar year) Two pretty important games to start and with zero probability of Keinan and Smatta scoring we better hope the MF picks up the pieces early on.

richp999 Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 (edited) I knew it. We were just biding our time. Messi has handed in a transfer request, summer window business done. And he's available on a free : 'The Argentina international, 33, sent a fax to the club on Tuesday saying he wishes to exercise a clause in his contract, allowing him to leave for free with immediate effect.' Come on villa, get this one done.. Edited August 25, 2020 by richp999 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hippo Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 I wonder if we have all been dealt a deft slight of hand distraction ... Are the all sixteen year olds we've signed as academy prospects, not academy prospects all - and are going straight into the first team ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerCollins29 Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 we arent gonna sign anyone before the season starts. Not itk its just what i think. I honestly believe theres been a huge cock up with lange. Came in too late and cant attract the names we want, so we are back to the drawing board. Cue some bs about how well we finished the season and that we dont need to bring anyone in at this stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sulberto21 Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 30 minutes ago, Mark_1989 said: Let’s start Vassiev up top and let him run around for a few games. I’m merely saying we need something/anything than what we currently have to start the season with. Sturridges injury record isn’t really an issue if he’d only get paid if playing. I was using it as a quick fix to start the season in the event that we haven’t bought in a proper signing to start the season. I love the idea of starting the season with a strike force that scored once since January. Sturridge is shot. That means a used Kleenex will be of more use than Sturridge. Secondly what's the point of giving up a squad place to someone who probably will last 2 games and then to the treatment room. I agree with your first sentence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
