Villarocker Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 1 hour ago, John said: I wouldn't play him there myself, although I accept it is a matter where opinions do differ. Totally agree John. We need to play Grealish behind the striker and have two need wide forwards. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We aren’t looking to sell him, and don’t need the money, so we get what we want or he stays. They’re actually looking to sell players, it’s their model. They’re not in the same position as we are with Grealish. Edited September 4, 2020 by 7392craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jas10 Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 (edited) Would only want Wilson if we can give Hogan to Bournemouth as part of the deal and are signing another striker. Maybe offload Samatta and send Davis out on loan or sell. Otherwise, let’s stick to younger players on the way up please rather than overpaid has beens... Certainly doesn’t match with the suggested profile of player we are after, as according to Purslow. A striking department of Watkins/Edouard, Wilson & Wesley is definitely an improvement but can we possibly do any better? Personally, I’m disappointed if we aren’t looking at potential stars & goalscorers from abroad (maybe we are but the Wilson links concern me tbh and I’d be even more worried if he’s seen as our main or number 1 striker). In urgent need of wingers or wide forwards too... hope we get this right. Edited September 4, 2020 by Jas10 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilson is 28 with a proven track record - hardly a has-been. I’d take him over any of our current strikers but agree we need to start offloading said current strikers.

Sam-AVFC Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 Would quite like us to announce a deal for a fast right winger sometime soon. I know links in the press mean next to bugger all, but I do find it a bit weird how few wingers we've been linked with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jareth Posted September 4, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted September 4, 2020 So Cash in, the runes spelling the imminent arrival of Watkins, Wilson and Romero - if these all happen we are very good to go for the first game of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are trying to hustle us. If we get Wilson in we can take it to the wire with Watkins and they'll probably blink. When I say don't need the money it's in football terms. Bournemouth are desperate Brentford are not. I should have clarified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villaglint Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 Listening to that James Chester podcast last night he was talking about what he thought we needed this summer and said in PL you can never have enough creative players in your side and thought we needed to address that in the summer. I think most would agree because although we improved defensively after lock down the number of decent chances we created fell off a cliff. All the names linked so far seem to plug obvious wholes across most other areas of our squad. While Wilson, Watkins add some pace, strength it doesn't really address the creativity. I guess those creative players 1 or 2 will be what completes our summer spending. Be interesting to see what names crop up there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbcuk Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 I’d rather have Wilson up front than Watkins, the other season for Bournemouth him and Fraser was the stand out players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
