Villarocker Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 (edited) Just out of interest guys, for those who probably know a lot more about Rashica and foreign football than I do, would you class this a marquee signing if it happens? Also, who would people suggest was the last bigger name we signed than this (in terms of reputation - not letters in name).

Wezbid Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 Villa do like their 5 year deals for the more expensive signings. Helps spread £'s for FFP. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villarocker Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 This guy seems to be well regarded for transfer news and, has been retweeted by our Kosovan itk agent Arlind Sadiku... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Tez500 Posted September 12, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 12, 2020 Decent article here comparing Rashica to Timo Werner and promoting him as a suitable replacement (before Werner moved to Chelsea). He is definitely more in a forward as oppose to a traditional winger. https://totalfootballanalysis.com/article/milot-rashica-at-rb-leipzig-201920-scout-report-tactical-analysis-tactics 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rashica is almost everything to Bremen that Grealish is to us, except he isn't an academy product. To put it into some context, imagine if Grealish left us. That's more or less what it would be like for Bremen losing Rashica. I'm not saying that he's as good as Grealish of course, and I hesitate to call him a marquee, but I was excited by the idea the moment I heard the link. Honestly thought a team higher in the league would've snapped him up by now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely a forward. Not terribly dissimilar to Werner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HKP90 Posted September 12, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted September 12, 2020 I’ve never watched him. What style of player is he? Does he cut inside? Drive to the byline? Take a player on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take a player on? Loves to cut inside. Very direct and looks to run forward with the ball at pace as soon as he gets it. Has a rocket of a shot hence the nickname; the rocket. Has explosive pace and very effective playing on the shoulder of the last defender and running onto through balls. He's seriously quick. Hard worker too. Not afraid to track back and but a shift in. Good temperament. Can't remember ever seeing him commit a foul and doesn't seem to lose his head. This goal sums him up best: 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
