MaVilla Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 We have Buendia, if Grealish is off, i would spunk the rest on (130m): Bailey (LW) - 35m, Kamada (CAM) - 35m?, Alvarez (CAM/SS) - 15m, Anguissa (DM) - 20m?, Andersen (DC) - 15m. that leaves 10m to add to Jan or next summer, or to pay a little more for the above as required. If we could genuinely get JWP tho, i would prob do that over Kamada & Alvarez (ie: 50m), not sure! Martinez Cash - Konsa - Mings - Targett Anguissa - Luiz Buendia - Kamada - Bailey Watkins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And for where we are right now, I don't think it would be a bad replacement. Obviously keeping Jack is optimal but it's looking pretty unlikely to me. Though, not sure Norwich would want to sell him though. Wonder if we'll firm our interest in Arrascaeta if Jack goes and play him down the middle with Bailey & Buendia on the flanks? Cantwell is not very good. Seriously, why do ppl keep toting Cantwell. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indigo Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Not trying to sound like a misery merchant but please not Cantwell. He's fine but it's the opposite of "ambitious" to have him as part of an attacking line up that attempts to replace Jack. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We cant replace jack, but we can improve the first 11, to make the first team "better" - hopefully. i noted it above in another post, i would spend the money on Bailey, Kamada, Anguissa, Alvarez & Andersen.

ferguson1 Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 1 hour ago, Philosopher said: Cantwell is Can't well! He is average, he can't help propel us into Europe. JWP is a freekick specialist who won't get many freekicks in dangerous positions without Jack. Sarr is 18 with only half a season behind him in France. How can that combined replace Jack Grealish. For a club like Villa, replacing Jack with one player is impossible. If we were Man City and Jack left us we would need to spend 150 to 200 million to buy Mbappe or Neymar. To replace Jack with 3 or 4 players it's still extremely difficult. We would need to get Bailey, Alvarez and Bissouma, Locatelli, and ESR! Wrong Sarr! We’re currently linked with the Watford Sarr. I trust our management to get the right players in and balance the squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't bother even trying to replace Jack with one player I would fill the squad out in a bid to replace what Jack offers and improve on what others offer to not only stop us moving backward but improve in all departments. I will assume we will sign Bailey for 30m........ Out El Ghazi 15m Hourihane 3m Nakamba 8m Samatta 7m (Already gone) Grealish 100m (In this scenario) Guilbert 4m Engels 3m Taylor 0m Elmo 0m Heaton 0m Total - 140m In Tammy Abraham 30m - Chelsea CF Leon Bailey 30m - Leverkusen WF Emiliano Buendia 35m - Norwich WF Giorgian de Arrascaeta 15m - Flamengo ACM/WF Daichi Kamada 20m - Frankfurt ACM Teun Koopmeiners! 15m - Az Alkmaar DCM Aurelien Tchouameni 30m - Monaco DCM Nikola Milenkovic 20m - Fiorentina CB Max Aarons 30m - Norwich RB Ashley Young 0m - Inter Milan LB Total 225m Net 85m I would also have anyone they deem to be good enough to be a backup keeper. So 10 out (not including loans) and 10 in. A left back aside I would consider that our entire squad filled out with quality for years to come and future windows would be for guaranteed first team starters with far fewer signings. I think that would shit up the teams we are looking to over take seeing that happen. Guaranteed relegation battle. You never churn that many players in one window. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
