Jas10 Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 The thing is, if we want to do even better next season, we need players that are likely to hit the ground running. Which is another reason why signing someone like Buendia is appealing. It makes sense for us to focus on the strongest European leagues too, you’re more likely to get better performing players and there’s more assurance - doesn’t always work out though. Signing players from more obscure leagues is always a risk but can also be a masterstroke if you get the right one in. Plus, we’ve also seen how “lesser players” perform better in a confident and successful team. On the other hand, we’re not the most patient fanbase either. The scouting has to be spot on really. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We must prioritise getting more and better service to Ollie and lessening the reliance on Jack. Hopefully, Wesley will be fine and can be an asset to the team. Barry is an exciting prospect. Don’t mind if we sell or loan Davies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t mind if we sell or loan Davies. Me too. I think that strikers are the last thing that we need. Give me a midfielder like Kante. You know the type, like a wasp when you're trying to enjoy your drink in a beer garden that just will not p*** off regardless of what you do. And then someone to do a bit more creating and take the pressure off of Grealish. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beastmix Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 1 hour ago, gwi1890 said: McNeil would cost a fortune though, he’s a good player yes but he’s only scored 2 goals this season imagine the stick everyone on here would give Traore and Elghazi if they only scored 2 goals and yes I know it’s not all about goals, but if Traore was playing for another premier league club we’d all be saying “oh that Traore at Burnley looks excellent I hope we sign him”. I hear what you're saying, but McNeil is the only bright spark in a team full of absolute sh*tehouses (roughing us up is largely how they beat us - like most of the teams who've beat us this season, actually. On this note, I'd like to see us get a Van Bommel-esq player this summer too). There's barely any creativity at Burnley so two goals from a 21 year old ain't all too bad. At Villa he'd get so many more opportunities to score/develop. I think he'd take his game to the next level at Villa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And nobody said we have to play one at a time. Wesley / Davies / Barry could be a great supporting cast. Or it could be that one never recovers fully, one struggles to score and the other isn't fully ready yet. I'd be very happy with another one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If however Villa intend to spend big in the summer I’d offer Leeds 50m for Kalvin Philips who is exactly what Villa are missing in midfield. To get him Villa would need to hold onto Grealish. Think for need to follow your own advice man. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
