As someone has said this team stayed up by the skin of their teeth and most of the good stuff came from grealish so without him...we would be in the championship. Could the Gilbert's konsa's samatta' be prem quality...possibly but they are not now....luiz struggled for 30 odd games so he is another possible one. Targett is a sqaud player at best...poor defensively...alot of danger came from him being out of position so I would replace them But like i say...these players need better players to learn from...otherwise we will be in the same position next season. I think all of our players that played a part in us staying up, especially post lockdown when the chips were down will be better players for it. Guilbert, Nakamba, Konsa, Targett and Wesley could all make a step up like Luiz did end of the season. I would expect us to bring in 2 wide forwards and a center forward with the quality to go straight in to the first team. The other positions if we get in players to replace the weak bench we had end of last season who are better and have good potential to break through at this level then that will help us enormously. Both in genuine competition for places and giving us a much stronger squad depth to bring players on from the bench. People were criticising Grealish's post lockdown contribution right up until the last games, we were not a one man team. We really do not need another summer of massive player turnover at all, the group will be much improved for the experience gained in the last year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect that there will be a contingent of posters voicing their despair that either: - the player has no PL experience - the player has PL experience but is a <insert club name> reject who will not improve the squad - is too old - is too young - is not as good as <insert player name> who would have cost half the amount (in their opinion) - we have spent too much money on them - we spent less money on them which means they can't be much good otherwise they would have cost more so we should have been more ambitious - is not better than what we have already - is worse than what we have already - can't be any good because they have never heard of them / seen them play - plays in the wrong position and shouldn't have been our first signing - is not as good as <insert completely unrealistic player name> who would have been brilliant and would have loved to play for Villa if we had put in a serious offer before they signed for a team playing in the CL - is an amazing marque signing who could have played in the CL but came here instead so we must be paying silly wages that will cause problems with the rest of the squad - is a good start but we have blown <insert percentage> of our total budget on one player so there is no chance we will get our first choice in other positions Meanwhile some others will claim that they are the best signing ever and could be the next Messi - even though before yesterday they had never heard of them, have never seen them play but did watch a YouTube video which makes them look like a combination of Pele, Messi, Henry, McGrath and Gordon Banks. And then someone will make a joke using an <insert random animal species> pun and share a photo of an attractive young lady in a revealing outfit.

I just don’t see Everton ever learning. When did James Rodriguez last have a good season ? What kind of wages must he be looking for ? As much as I think they are more attractive than us right now (because of Ancelotti), I’m glad we are not going down this route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
