However I’m still aware that our analytical team hasn’t been put in place to asses goal and assist stats. I’m sure you’re right in that the data analysis conducted at the club is a tad more sophisticated than us bunch of chancers are looking at. I bloody hope so anyway! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbcuk Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 How about Patson Daka from Salzburg, as we need another striker, he’s young and scores a fair few from what I’ve seen he looks like he’s only going to get better 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d agree our entrance into the modern football world is definitely a new experience. Deadly was still lauding the old BMH even when it was 30 years old. Finally NSWE have kicked us into 2020, bypassing the end of the last millennium and the first 20 years of this one. Better late than never. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really wouldn't want him at Villa! @Zatman just mentioned in other football that Mendes is his agent. They have the young kid they spent on big on, and I'm sure no-one really knows yet when/if Jimenez will return, so a short term deal for someone would make a lot of sense. As I've said before though, I don't follow European football so I'd have no idea at all what sort of player he is these days.

est1874 Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 (edited) I can't think of many active players less representative of what Aston Villa are trying to be in the current era than Diego Costa...

Tyler Adams Krystian Bielik Possibly Emile Smith Rowe (I mention him a lot... I don't know if Arsenal would sell but he is one whom definitely interests me) This one is probably unrealistic, but rumors are that Lampard could get sacked -- Mason Mount (or one of the many other "attacking mids" they have. Left Back is a very tough position for us imo. We definitely need someone who can cover (maybe a full fledged backup). Someone mentioned it (i forget who) but we shouldn't be going out to sign backups, we should be signing players to first team roles that knock the current player to the bench. I just don't know who would buy for a 'reasonable' price that is an immediate upgrade. Rico Henry gets mentioned a lot but I don't know if 1. He's an immediate upgrade on Targett, and 2. would be worth the price that Brentford would want for him. (i also have mentioned a few times that he is a SHA fan as well) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which will finish 2nd and then get cherry picked by bayern... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
