MWARLEY2 Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 7 hours ago, Steero113 said: He's most certainly not a championship player, he was our POTS in the Prem in 2021. He's just not good enough to do what we require at the highest levels of the league, which is fine. He will need to be upgraded (Nedeljkovic?) if we want to progress. Exactly this. A victim of our improvement and more technical set up. He genuinely loves Villa and does his very best. I thought he was much better last night and if you are moaning because he constantly comes back infield it is because that is what he is asked to do. If there isnt a good ball on then recycle and start again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he’s going to be a part of this squad for the foreseeable future and will improve under Emery in the next 12-24 months. He’s regressed under Emery, one of the only players to do so. It’s absolutely crazy to me that you think he’ll now start magically improving. Emery played Young over him for a reason. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he has, he is the same player he was two season's ago. The difference is that the rest of the team are better now so he stands out more as the worst player in the team. Two or three years ago he definitely wasn't in our top 3 worst players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StefanAVFC Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 (edited) How on earth does he stand out like that coming on in a 5-0 win? A CB playing RB outplayed him. Tactical instructions my arse Edited February 3 by StefanAVFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tactical instructions my arse i wonder sometimes, say...during the week if im a little harsh on him at times. then it comes to the weekend, i watch him play, and i slap myself in the chops for ever doubting myself. tbh, this is how i feel when i see him with the ball at his feet: then, whatever he does next, i think: Edited February 4 by MaVilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBlack Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 He has the very odd good game, and seems to score just often enough to keep him from being competely useless. I think he's the most obvious player to sell from our first team, if we can find a willing buyer. And we really do need to find a right back that suits our system. Wonder if they're hoping Ned will fulfil the role next season or we'll go looking for a more experienced option in the summer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DakotaVilla Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Plan will be to sell cash I suspect and replace with a first teamer with the Serbian kid being the back up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His value on the books in the summer will be about £5m, as he turns 27. He’s signed up until 2027 too. You’d like to think you could bank a decent profit with an experienced PL Right Back just hitting his peak (in age terms). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't mean he's doing it perfectly. Emery stands next to him shouting at him for 45 mins of every game he plays. If the lack of forward passing was an issue, he wouldn't be getting any game time at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeroy Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Kosta will most likely come in as backup as still very young and doesn't know the league. In 4-5 years time I reckon he'll be first choice but will obviously get game time in cups, Europe etc. I like Cash's effort but time to sell I think, reckon we could get £20m this summer as he's obviously better than when we signed him from Forest and we paid around £14m. Sign Molina for £35-40m and we've got a huge upgrade and a first choice right back for the next 5 years. And it means Konsa can go back to centre back alongside Torres.

I still think Cash is a decent player and certainly Premier League standard, just not top 4 level which is where we're trying to get to. People saying he's a Championship player are way off the mark, they must be confusing him with Chambers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
