Phil Silvers Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Buendia, Young and Bailey in, if we add JWP, good CB and GK cover and Jack's stays, I'd be fairly happy with this window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To provide high level backup to Emi would probably cost more then what we paid for Emi. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interestingly I think Cutler wants another development project behind Emi, but someone further along than Sinisalo. The Oxford manager confirmed they rejected a bid from us last month so I don't see us targeting an established or high profile keeper. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knutserov13 Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 I would like to get an GK in to be second or third choice so we could let Sinisalo out on a years loan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Names? Who is achievable that would be willing to be no2 because Emi is practically untouchable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO we still need a full blooded defensive midfielder and not IMO but fact we need a centre back. IMO as Davis is injured for a few months and Wesley is still unknown a striker should be higher on the list of priorities now. IMO our midfielders are all good but I don’t think the balance is there at all. Maybe an out and out DCM fixes that, maybe it just improves the current situation but we need to be thinking seriously what Luis, McGinn and Sanson’s role is in the team and make some ‘difficult’ decision on them. Unfortunately it isn’t football manager, if you can improve even 4 of your squad each season then you are doing well. And the 2 (3) we have signed are major upgrades. Villa are obviously ambitious and I agree now is the time to strike, with or without Jack. Its a weird situation at the moment that If we only sign Bailey, Buendia, Young and I think we will definately sign someone else I could be disappointed. If we get another 3 in of the quality of Buendia and Bailey we I’ll obviously be delighted. A centre back is priority for me, hopefully a top prospect who can stand in for Mings and Konsa. It is now where we are weakest in my option. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is now where we are weakest in my option. you seen our central midfield? id even put back up striker before CB, CB to me is where we can now have a play, we can go in to FM mode and try and snap up the next konsa wherever he's coming from, 20 year old with bags of potential and a bit of excitement about him...thats not tuanzebe on loan... the links that we have at the moment, tuanzebe, abraham, JWP, cantwell, i think they're all ok but not knicker wetting stuff, fairly easy safe scouting IMO and id like something more, especially for the back up / development players, i still hope we sign alvarez and that he's a diamond Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Let’s hope we get it right, it will literally either make or break the upcoming season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 With it being so close to the start of the new season and our record pretty poor without Grealish my guess is we will go for PL experience and being so late will most certainly overpay for players too.

jacketspuds Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 £60m for Maddison? No thanks. We should not be taking Leicester’s cast offs so that they can spend the money on the likes of Camavinga and Gravenberch. Let him go to Arsenal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wainy316 Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Go hell for leather for JWP first although if I was Southampton I wouldn't sell for anything short of the ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Would be terrible value for money to spend the Grealish money on players from other PL-teams. Look abroad and think long term. IF there are deals to be had in the PL then by all means go for it but don't go spend over the odds for the likes of Tammy, JWP or Lingard just becuase we have money and have to show ambition now if Grealish is sold. Damsgaard, David, Brandt and so on makes so much more sense. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
