AJ Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Last season, he didn't want to join us for our relegation battle, as he was too good for us. Things have changed now. Villa is too good for him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could say that for a lot of players. Plenty of players were good at one point and now no longer were. Hell, we just had one of those in Ross Barkley and look how he turned out. I just think people are clinging too much on the hope that he will suddenly become good for us just because he was good once before. Buying players like these is always a much larger risk than usual and I don't think we really need to take the risk here. Just put that money towards Buendia or Mcneil. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watched him all season because I was excited to see him. He is awful. A bench option for a relegated team, who has low stamina, is a liability on defence (gave away a penalty to help relegate Werder 2 games ago, from Werder's own corner kick at the other end as well....), awful in the air (he is 5ft 10" ), physically weak, graduated from the Conor Hourihane/ Ross Barkley school of pressing and is average to awful at taking on a man. He is very good at crossing, a good finisher in the box and superb one on one with the keeper. I will be very very surprised if we recruit him, he is simply worse than El Ghazi, Bertie and Trezequet in every aspect. I have no doubt he would improve here (Werder's old manager was a complete clown) but improve to what? I dont see how he can ever get upo the level of a proven Premier league attacker like El Ghazi let alone Bertie. So yeah my opinion is very negative having watched him this season. If we recruit him then of course I will support him but I will also be very curious to see what our scouts saw vs what I saw. Makes you wonder what our highly paid and successful scouting team are thinking really. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine we sign him for €15m, he gets a full preseason under his belt with no injuries and this version of Rashica turns up for us. If we are interested then our lot must be confident of being able to achieve that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaVilla Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 if we could get him for 10-15m i would take a shot tbh, then we can still spend big on a couple of other signings! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Messi said, “I don’t rate Aston Villa, they don’t win things” but then we somehow had a chance to sign him, are you saying you would be against it? (an extreme case but you get the point). I’d rather we signed players with a bit of ambition rather than those just chasing the big bucks and happy to sit on the bench etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
