Yes, I think he’s clear of his ACL, and yes he’s only 28 years old. But, I think the point about Wilson is he wants to leave / has a release clause. So for once I’d like us not to get fleeced in the transfer market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can guarantee that. My thoughts exactly. Could you imagine the uproar if we saw a team in and around us signing Wilson for under 20m, and we had signed no striker. He will get goals for us.

StewieGriffin Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 If we'd signed him last season, or more particularly in January, we'd have been pretty happy I'd have thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you not want better than that, just mid table obscurity for villa yeah that great, but I want to be mid table and raising. Not mid table and that’s our lot. these “prem experienced players” are not ambitious signings. They are fine for safety, but after that they are useless. Wasted signing if he’s he just brought in to keep us safe. Watkins will do the same job, and more likely improve as he’s doing it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the idea is to have both Watkins and Wilson so there’s not so much pressure on one player. If anything it’d help Watkins development not to be put under too much stress too early. I imagine the Holte End sounds pretty loud down there when you’re not playing too well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah no you're right, let's just shoot up straight to the top 4 after surviving on the last day last season. We're Aston Villa after all! Midtable "obscurity" would be a massive improvement on "our lot" over the past decade. 2011 was the last time we've achieved it and even that season we were battling relegation for the majority of it. Since then we spent 3 years in the Championship, only just coming up and once again almost getting relegated. Yes I'd absolutely take midtable obscurity if it were on offer. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not talking about this season. This season I’m happy with a safer safe, or better. However, I want it done with the sense of we are getting better. A team of players stepping up each season. that’s easier said than done, yet it’s harder when we signing players that ain’t going to get better. The “premier experience players” we get linked with is just that. They never going to get better and villa be midtable at best for the long haul. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At 28, he's hardly one for the future is he? If he leads us to midtable over the next couple of season, it's job done isn't it? If we improve on last season, doesn't that mean we're getting better? Experienced PL players are a damn sight better than most of what we have now, so why not make us better by bringing them in? It's a gradual process. It doesn't mean we're going to be buying this caliber of player forever, but you need to crawl before you can walk. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smith is getting hounded for results in the here and now, not for the future when last seasons signings will be better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerCollins29 Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 Ive warmed massively to the wilson deal. Lead the line in a shite b'muff team for 4 or 5 years when they had some decent PL finishes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
