I love that he talks about wearing the "Iconic Number 9" at Newcastle, while wearing #27. Did he mean 9 x 3? Does that mean he thinks he scored 24 goals last season? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes thats right, say you don't want to do.... I don't want us to spend big money on Josh King who is a bang average footballer. I'd be happy to spend £13m on a young German international, or £27m on Spain's number 9. Not sure how there's any contradiction there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaFaninLondon Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 (edited) 8 minutes ago, Mat Kendrick's Dentist said: Not relegated strikers who don't score, would cost a fortune, and have no re-sell value. I'd take Buendia/Brooks/Cantwell for the right price Fair. FYI King has scored roughly 1 in 3 for Bournemouth in 5 seasons in the top flight. Compared to Davis who has scored 2 league goals in his whole career (both in the Champ) and Samatta who has scored 1 league goal in 14 for us. Of course I'd rather we end up with better than King who didn't have a great season last season and is 28 years old, but it's been such a crappy window I'm actually worried we will end up with no one and then panic buy on 5 October. I just want the club to get cracking, this just all seems so God damn amateur. Edited September 7, 2020 by VillaFaninLondon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our whole season revolves around one player and it's frightening. That’s why I think getting Brooks would be important. We don’t have to play wingers if we get him. A diamond would be good by then. Although its great to have players that fits a lot of tactics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 (edited) 17 minutes ago, VillaFaninLondon said: The problem is, we don't seem to be able to attract that level of player, at least with the current manager in charge. I don't know what names you have in mind but it's been reported (note, I use the word 'reported') that players like Rashica and Wilson didn't want to come here. Of course we want to buy top players but unfortunately unless Villa gets bought by a Saudi prince I don't see that happening and players like King are probably the best we're going to get, certainly at this point in time. I just want some players in before gameweek 1, if we go into the season with Davis and Samatta as our strikers it really will be curtains for us. I know the window closes on 5 October but we have got 2 winnable opening games, if we end up with say 1 point from those 2 games or heaven forbid 0 points we really will be in the brown stuff. Its not to do with Smith. Its not to do with the owners. Its the FFP rules, we can't spend spent carte blanche on players and salaries unlike what Man City did over a decade ago. They then decided to change the rules to make the top 6 a self serving cartel. Bah modern football.

Firstly it was the daily Star, secondly no reported figures have even been magicked up. Sure, Rodrigo is a statement signing, but Villa are not in the business of paying £30m and 100k a week for someone who is 30 years old in 5 months. Our business model under this ownership is clear.

It was in the Express and Star, not the Daily Star. Bournemouth rejected a £20m bid for him in January so it's safe to assume he wouldn't be cheap. King is less than a year younger than Rodrigo, and absolutely nowhere near as good.

I think they should have done by now......they may do, if they do, i think they are leaving it late. I have no idea why we are leaving it so late, to sign players we should know, who will help us avoid a repeat of last season. procrastination does not necessarily equal prudency.....it breeds doubt and uncertainty. I could understand it more if we had signed one or two top targets and are showing patience on another 2 or 3 , but that is not the case. If you cast you mind back to MON he always left it late and by and large signed rubbish. Edited September 7, 2020 by TRO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
