If not then either Luiz, McGinn or Barkley (or Grealish ) sits on the bench because we can't really afford to bring in £100k/ + bonuses and loan fee Dele Alli as a rotation player. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. I also have thought Tyrese Campbell (Kevin's son) has looked good every time I've seen him. A Prem team will take a punt on both soon, I hope it's us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure if we have room for any more party animals to be honest. Gotta be very careful about the sorts of characters we bring in. Jack is a ticking time bomb as it is without surrounding him with like minded individuals. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Posted December 23, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted December 23, 2020 14 minutes ago, ender4 said: Its actually getting hard to upgrade this first 11 now without spending £40 million on a player. And those sort of players don't want to come to Villa if we aren't in the Champions League/Europe. This is where every team that challenges the top 6 hits the glass ceiling - how to find better players on lower wages than the big 6 will pay and who will come to your team. I'd be surprised if this were the route we took atm; we dont have the money, or the ffp leeway, to allow for mistakes at that level. It's far more likely we will buy young players to mould, then sell the current incumbent to stay on top of finances; At least until we can build the club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could perhaps even let him stay at Reading for the rest of the season on loan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Salad Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 (edited) I think Adam Armstrong would be a great signing.Banging in last season and already has 15 this season.Would be a good one to have until Wesley is back and give us something a bit different up front. Maybe though out of our price range for January at least? Edited December 23, 2020 by Big Salad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HKP90 Posted December 23, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted December 23, 2020 I’ll admit, I like Alli, and what’s more I think DS could get a tune out of him, but as someone above said he would be putting one of our better players on the bench. The only reason I would go for him would be if we are certain that we couldn’t get Barkley on a permanent when his loan ends. I think we’re desperate for quality options from the bench, so i’d perhaps go for younger players who have significant potential to improve- particularly ones with pace.

VillaChris Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 9 hours ago, MaVilla said: the loan fee for Barkley was 11m?....bajeesus I think he was a great marquee signing for where we are, but also im trying to look at it constructively, he has only played 6 games for us, got injured, and due to being unavailable for the Chelsea game might not get another start until Jan. My heart says he would be worth a 25-35m punt in Jan or the summer, my head says that although he has done pretty well in the games he has played for us, he maybe hasnt warranted us splurging 35m on him....yet. We're paying a decent amount of his wages I think so that accounts for much of 11m spread over the season as he'll be in 80-100k bracket at Chelsea.

KenjiOgiwara Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 I wouldn't touch Brandon Williams. In fact I wouldn't touch any of Manchester United's players. I'm intrigued what we can find in Europe and the championship. Eduardo Camavingo could be a good punt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Ole looks a little out of his depth when it comes to man management. The culture there looks poor. With a proper manager, I think we could forge some good squad players. Yes for Williams for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazrim Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Alli could be amazing. Barkley isnt our player yet either remember. Not sure whats happened to Alli as he was quickly becoming one of the elite midfielders up to a year or 2 ago. So, yes its risky, but potentially massive rewarding. We'll have to move away from this notion of thinking we cant sign players if we already have 11 settled starters soon. Thats a good way to get a squad with no depth or versatility. Buy the best players we can, let them fight it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes for Williams for me. I'm kinda leaning the other way, he's a pretty decent man manager, but was found out tactically for a while. And the bigger problem is that man utd got a lot of shite deadwood on enormous wages. Not a place to go shopping. Williams is probably the pick of the litter of the unwanted there, but we can do better than that. Still annoys me Justin went to Leicester Edited December 23, 2020 by KenjiOgiwara 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
