Sam-AVFC Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 (edited) I wonder what Derby would take for Bielik in the summer. Scrap that, I'd seen he was getting rave reviews and incorrectly assumed he was still playing CB. Edited January 19, 2021 by Sam-AVFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My FM 6 would be Grealish, Rashica, Brooks, Traore, Barkley/Olise and Ramsey. I can but dream!! Make it happen Deano! I didn't take Ramsey into account so I will agree on the numbers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keener window-cleaner Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 I read that Crystal Palace are bringing in Mateta from Mainz for only 15M, think that will be a very good deal. I would have liked to have him here to compete with Watkins and Wesley. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A'Villan Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Quote Real Madrid's Norway midfielder Martin Odegaard, 22, has asked to leave the club There has been a radical turn with regards to Martin Odegaard's situation at Real Madrid, with the Norwegian international having sensationally requested to leave the Spanish giants. Having shone with Real Sociedad last season and being recalled early by Los Blancos, his lack of minutes under Zinedine Zidane has been a huge source of frustration for the player, and he isn't willing to put up with it any longer. After Odegaard was ruled out of the Copa del Rey tie with Alcoyano, it appeared as though the writing was on the wall for the gifted playmaker. Over the course of the entire 2020/21 season to this point, Odegaard has been on the pitch for a paltry total of 367 minutes, which has forced him to demand a new loan move. https://www.marca.com/en/football/real-madrid/2021/01/19/6007169122601d4b238b45d0.html Anyone? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IF and its a big IF he is available to purchase we would be stupid not to have a go this is a player who for years is supposed to be a world star and just needs to play in a top league every week at a club he will be staying at for a few years. Edit - Just looked up his stats he played 32 full games worth of minutes last year for Real Sociedad and got a mix of 16 goals and assists The year before for Vitesse he played 37 and got a mix of 23 goals and assists. He turned 22 last month.... Edited January 20, 2021 by paul514 Adding stats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 13 hours ago, VillaChris said: Pretty surprised we weren't in for Mateta given we were seriously considering signing him 18 months back. On loan at Palace now for rest of this season and next season aswell so would've thought that sort of deal would've been good for us to get round FFP aswell. Interested to see what we come up with next two weeks for striker. Didnt he get a bad injury last season then think we moved onto Watkins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PussEKatt Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 We seem to be concentrating on midfielders.What happened to getting a striker in ?! If Watkins gets injured we are right up the creek without a paddle ( we could even go down ) there is half a season to go yet,thats a lot of points we could get or drop. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can wait till summer in my view. Also gives us a few months to gauge if the ones currently on the books will come good. If not, then summer is the right time to start making big moves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 the other thing is do we leave it for as long as possible anticipating one of the yoof breaking through next year we do need someone as back up now but this time next year we could be sat with ollie, wes, barry, davis and a.n.other and be overloaded, its a nicer problem to have but still a problem anyone we sign now has an impact further down the line meaning that "the right deal" means a few different things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam-AVFC Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 I can't believe I have to say this, but we definitely aren't going down even if we do have to play Davis. I've watched every team play at least 5 times this year and I've never been more confident of anything. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon based on the data as well that they would consider Traore to be back up based on his numbers as a striker (I know there’s mixed opinions on here about whether he should be but that’s my thinking of it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
