And of course they have Ronaldo who will always play when he's 100% fit so just feels like stockpiling for no reason. Actuallly feel Dzeko to Milan would be the start move as Ibra has missed a few games in recent weeks and they lack a backup striker with that type of profile. Milan wanted him from Wolfsburg years ago I don't think they're in for him now though. Milik to Roma looks pretty much done regardless of whether Dzeko stays or goes. Dzeko is 35 so maybe he stays till the summer and then looks for a last contract somewhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turvontour Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 I wish there was a thread mid way between this and the ones that are started for the individual player links. Could there be like a transfer chat thread and a firm links to villa thread? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romavillan Posted January 5, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted January 5, 2021 1 hour ago, VillaChris said: Dzeko has scored pretty much 80 goals in 150 games for Roma so he's been a big hit there. Was a decent striker at Man. City aswell although more in rotation with the others as said. If he was out of favour at Roma and they were looking to move him on he'd be an amazing pick up on an 18 month deal although many clubs would be after him. Waiting to see who Wolves pick up as the short term Jimenez replacement so that should give indication as to level of player we can target this window. First couple of years he missed a lot of chances and didn't immediately win people over here, I can remember saying it was weird as he was lethal at City off the bench to try and prove he was worth a start and people not thinking he was much cop. He's not out of favour, I think Roma have been aware since Schick didn't work out that they need a plan for after Dzeko. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think thats Dzeko though, he will always get a good goal tally but misses a lot of easy chances as well. He should have got Lewandowski numbers regularly 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Roma is pretty good rehab place for players who've lost their way in premier league. Veretout been excellent there as we know and every game I've seen them play this season Mikhitayran has either been scoring or assisting. Smalling did well last season but been injured since they got him permanetly and Pedro also there although not sure how well he's done. They've changed their model as 3-4 years before it was all about finding players under 25 from around the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right age, worked with Smith twice, links up well with Watkins judging from the clips, competition for Targett. Seems like a very good fit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New owner is more serious, I like Fonseca he has got the best out of Mikhitayran who has been awesome. Veretout is the heartbeat of the team, lovely player. Smalling I was well dubious about but he has been outstanding mostly. They've been unlucky with the Zanaiolo injury as well as Smalling, Zanaiolo if he can stay injury free will be quite the player. If the new owners don't fall down the mafia and new stadium building hole and get the football side right first things are looking up. On Rico Henry, I think that would be a great signing, and something (if Guilbert is going) we should look to do on the right as well in terms of age and potential. Then we'd have the keeper and back four (minus one CB if Engles goes) pretty well sorted out longish term. That would be **** amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loxstock92 Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Apparently we’ve been linked with Eriksen according to some on Twitter (yeah I know) I was wondering when this was all the silliness was going to start. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
