But if a player becomes available at a reduced rate due to the pandemics impact who could take you to the next level (hopefully) and it is within your budget it’s tricky situation and call to make.

OxfordVillan Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 It’s very straightforward to me. If there’s a selling club and a willing buyer then business continues as normal. The costs involved are irrelevant to anyone other than the buying and selling club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been on loan at Villareal but hardly played as they've got plenty of good players in final third. Did well at Mallorca last year so they'd certainly loan him out somewhere else.

I think he's a good player tbh. Hasn't worked out for him at West Ham but he'll be fine elsewhere imo. I would have liked to have seen him in a Villa shirt at that price tbh. :hides: 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think he's proven to be a good player elsewhere, and will go on to continue being a good player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 I've no idea who's the better, have only seen highlights of Caleb, he looks a good player. I haven't seen heaps of our U23's games but from what I have seen Carney looks like our most naturally gifted player at that level since Grealish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Had a look on twitter before and saw him being linked to us and Southampton, as well as those mentioned. Seems to be well rated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyh29 Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 So now we have Wesley close to returning and Barry showing he can offer something at this level , guess we can tick strikers off the list and decide if we spunk £40m on a midfielder or a defender in Jan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sulberto21 Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Callum Rowe looked very very very good at LB too. Held his own against Salah for large periods of the game. Mings guiding him and SJM and Luiz protecting him and Jack in front he can definitely do an excellent job deputising for Targett. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, tbh, i thought Rowe looked very good tonight, although he is 21 so its not like he's an u18 or even young u23 player, but if Rowe can step up to replace Taylor as left back backup, then Kesler at RB as as Cash's backup, that will be a couple of squad slots we dont need to invest in immediately tbh. Will give us more money to spend elsewhere, where its really needed. I know there is a lot of hype around Barry after his goal, but i think he probably needs another 12 months development, although the talent is obviously there, i think he would benefit from a championship loan in the same way Elliot has this season at Blackburn, Mount did at Derby etc, i would loan Barry out to a champ club for 1 season, then look to integrate him in to the squad. I also think Sylla looked like a bit of a player, and his physical attributes are already there, would loan him out also tbh for a season. Obviously both would have to get the right loan clubs though, where they get ample game time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
