villan-scott Posted September 24, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted September 24, 2020 I’m salivating at the prospect of the link up between Barkley and Grealish 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jas10 Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 He’ll be a major improvement on Hourihane, just wonder how this affects Jack... will he get to play in the centre and will we get a LW (Rashica) in? Can Barkley excel in a more disciplined role and how good is he defensively? It will be good to have options & I’d like to see us make as many signings as possible because we barely have any squad depth & flexibility. We need to mix it up & tinker with the side in certain games instead of simply playing the same first XI in the same positions for every game (barring injuries & suspensions).

Keyblade Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Wonder if this means Jack will be our first choice left winger or if he's been brought in to challenge/replace McGinn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack is already our first choice left winger. He played left wing last season more than anywhere else and he played left wing against Sheffield a couple of days ago. I think he's not really a direct replacement to anybody in the midfield. Its more that he's another option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then they would've been forced to get out a bit more from their box to stop him from shooting, creating space inside the box. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtkinsonWonderGoal Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 I'd take a hungry barkley all day long. Not so much if he's just payday hunting like drinkwater was though. What I can't understand is how I can't put an image on any chats unless it's smaller than a flys bits, but others can post umpteen videos... What am I doing wrong?

He’ll have to be hungry and play well to be selected for the Euros. Targeting players in similar situations will be an intelligent strategy (not first choice, need game time to be selected by their countries).

tinker Posted September 24, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted September 24, 2020 2 hours ago, TrentVilla said: I don't quite get this view, we've not done this since these owners have arrived and Purslow has specificially said our policy is to not do this. Sure we signed Reina and Drinkwater in January as temporary stop gaps but that is it. I actually agree with your point re loans I just don't think its applicable to Villa. The devil's in the detail, I hope he signs, I just know if we have him on loan he will be irreplaceable and unavoidable for us next season.

The 25 or so games Hourihane started last year Barkley will be starting instead. Conor has already started the opening games and will likely do so at Fulham aswell. That's how you improve the first team and squad. I get the feeling though McGinn's place will become under threat before too long, I have sympathy for him coming back from a bad injury but we can't be waiting another six months for him to get up to speed.

Sorry not sure what you mean re unavoidable. As for irreplaceable if we have the option to buy then there isn’t an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotoMkali Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 1 hour ago, TrentVilla said: No, I didn’t. Totally understand what Purslow said and I was pointing out Reina and Drinkwater sat outside of that. I know Purslow’s stance, my point was I don’t see the point the poster was making as being relevant under the current owners. Sorry I said wrong but your post did not imply that and instead we were completely against all loans. And drinkwater and reina were merely stop gaps due to ffp.

It’ll allow him time to work on his fitness and get back in the best shape, will be no need to rush or force him back into the side. And John’ll be a major asset once he hits form again. We need options & rotation too. Conor should not be getting starts at this level unless he massively improves his game, more competition may enable that.
