We have Engels and Konsa as Rcb's If anything, we are getting an Lcb understudy in, or we are shaking up the whole damn thing. That guy who has been linked from Galatasaray maybe? an play centreback and DM, name starts with L. It’s not the worst thing to have 5 centre backs and we could bin off Engels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketspuds Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Weren't there rumours of us looking at Joe Rodon at Swansea. 22 year old highly rated CB that is decent on the ball. Might be a good option to replace Hause. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 Would prefer an experienced type in if we're letting Hause go. Mings needs to be calmed down at times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would absolutely love Takefusa Kubo, very fast, skilled player who doesnt give up the chase, hes relentless. Plays like Grealish but on the right can also play Left and in attacking midfield. If it were one of those players I'd go all out for I'd be handing madrid 60 mill for the Youngster if I had to. Screw it people will think I'm nuts but I'd just say to Madrid what's it going to bloody take. I'd just do there head in with repeated phone calls and offers lol, prob a good job I'm not a manager.

Villa obviously have there eye on him and I hope at some point we make a serious play for Kubo. At some point before he makes himself a first regular teamer for madrid, this wonder kid needs to be in a villa shirt, he can do things on the field most only ever dream of doing at 19 years old.

I think he’d be a really difficult get & in high demand if Real would even consider letting him go (which I doubt). Any thoughts on these guys?

Leon Bailey out of your list Jas, play LW, RW,LM and I'll leave you to decide on him from the video below. All I will say is I would take him any day to and would be the second best option for the right I think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enda Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 3 hours ago, paul514 said: Definitely and they need to be a proven entity too. Konsa may be good enough but to be sure we need to blood him with a properly competent centre back. Some people have mentioned Duffy from Brighton as an easy pick up I would like John Stones if they are getting rid of him Not the worst shout but he just joined Celtic. I think CB has to be a priority, and I think it’s under-appreciated by the club. Imagine Mings, who’s injury prone enough as it is, breaks his leg during the first match. We’d be left with Konsa and Engels as our best two centre-halves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterw Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 15 hours ago, Tez500 said: Fraser looks like he is set for Newcastle on a free. I know people are put off but his attitude towards the end of last season but he is better than what we have and would have been gettable. I can understand him not wanting to play and jeopardise a future, similar to the likes if Watkins not playing in a friendly. More gutting is that fact that Newcastle of all clubs are more active than us this window! Just because they may have signed a player or two by now doesn't mean they are more active; just that their deals have concluded already. they may simply be in for players not (m)any others aren't. As for fraser, it may well be that we don't want him and regardless of your standing in the Villa management/scouting circles, those that matter have probably identified who they want and are concentrating their efforts there. Sometimes that means being patient, sometimes we have to wait for lots of other things to be aligned. Signing players can be like buying a house, everyone in the chain has to be satisfied. That could also be us shifting one or two out before we add. A free player like Fraser reduces the problems of course, but doesn't mean we should have got him, or even try to, if ultimately we didn't want him. Its far more important to get the right player however long that takes, rather than rush the wrong player in because it sates the anxiety of Tez500.

It was a Dolby one though... i'm not a complete savage. I was in the US doing the orlando holiday with the kids, and hired a merc. Nice. Did all the paperwork, got the keys, sat in the car. Except the key looked broken and I had no idea how to start the thing. Had to traipse back into the office and interrupt the next person to ask the girl to help me start the car as i had no idea what I was doing. She leant in and pressed a button. I must have looked like a backward slack-jawed yokel as i marvelled at such magic. A button. To start a car. Amazing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd get absolute lumps kicked out of him against the more "agricultural" defenders. Imagine that. The most fouled player in the league down the left, and Kubo winning almost as many down the right. Makes a strong case for playing Hourihane..... ... or upgrading to an even better dead ball specialist. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
