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.. I know at times Barca play Messi as a right winger – that is not as I see him in the way we play. So with us he would be a defender or a 10 and at the moment, we don't play with one and I think we have got players who deserve to be in just ahead of him. The difficulty for Messi is Jack Grealish, Mahmoud Trezeguet, John McGinn and Conor Hourihane. We have got incredible players in those positions, we have got competition for places. 1 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. I hope/confident we will get a striker in before the season starts but utterly baffled how some people can be content with our current strike force should they start in our opening game. Time purslow starts pulling some strings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we give him and his mates enough of a heads up that the transfer is happening we wouldn't even have to pay him... 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time purslow starts pulling some strings. I twice had trials for Walsall and I'd die for the shirt. Problem is I'm shit. doesn't mean you stick me up front. The problem with sturridge is the opposite he was good but his legs have gone. So do you stick the shit one up front or the A+E season ticket holder there? Or the 3rd option which is what we have who can do a better job than a crocked has been. We shouldn't be trying to get anyone we need to improve what we have. Only buy if better is available.

Time purslow starts pulling some strings. Instead of Sturridge. Patson Daka from RB Salzburg would be a relatively cheap but fantastic buy. Wages would be smaller too. Potentially as good as Haaland. Habib Diallo another player who has fantastic potential will bring a lot of heat to defences against the premier League. Both have been recommended by @Villain4Life. I've seen Daka play and he is rapid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colhint Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Sturridge is a good shout if its pay if you play, It'll only cost 50 quid, I'll cover that 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rayk Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 I have absolutely no proof for this one but I reckon Andre Silva is a smart bet as one of our ST signings, maybe alongside Brewster on loan. Silva, Portugese international plays for AC Milan but has spent the last two seasons on loan - first in Spain and the Germany and did well in both leagues. His agent is Mendes who the club know well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He clearly isn’t someone I would want and certainly would be underwhelming but on a risk free basis I would back him to at least contribute to some goals ahead of samatta and Davies, and yeah his injury record is awful but for a few matches I stand by the fact I’d trust him over what we have currently. If people cared to read how I opened the hypothetical I fail to see how this dosent have credibility. Yet people on here would still hang their hat on samatta and Davies. Who’s gunna start the relegation thread for next year? Either way UTV hopefully we make some signings tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's someone useful we could have got in. Instead we give it up to Sturridge. Injuries have finished him. He won't last 2 games. PAYG or not it's still a spot taken in the squad. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
