lexicon Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Dobra of Ipswich looks good (if you'll pardon the relatively obscure pun). Might be worth keeping an eye on him as we keep up with Barry's performances there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delphinho123 Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Smith: "Watkins hasn't played wide for couple of years. I didn't bring him in to play there. He scored 26 goals for Brentford playing as a centre-forward in the Championship & came to us & got 16 goals also as a centre-forward - so no, I don't envisage him out there." Good. And so he shouldn't be. Let him fight it out with Ings for the forward spot and bring in a quality left sided forward. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wilko154 Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Not sure if this has been shared but it's a pretty good description of Anguissa and exactly why I want us to sign him. He's effectively a defensive midfielder but could also play in central midfield next to another player allowing them to push forward. I would be all over this if we are unable to go for Bissouma who I imagine is out of our reach. Ā Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. Also JPB > Cantwell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel we jump the gun a bit with the kids based on a few friendly performances against only weak opposition. I think JPB needs a loan. Cantwell is ready.Ā Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think people are getting too caught up in the JPB hype here. The guy barely has any minutes of senior PL football, it's way too soon to compare him to players who have been somewhat successful in this league.Ā Reminded of last season when people wanted to ship Guilbert out because they thought he'd only get in the way of Kesler's progress next season. When right now he's on loan at a league 2 team, still a bit away from making our first team. Just, temper your expectations for players who've basically haven't even played any senior football.

Ideally, they'd both be out on loan playing 40 games of senior football in the Championship but we're not in a position to do that. Ā Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're walking your dog and it gets grabbed nastily by a vicious dog that will not let go for love or money, this is how you save your dog. That's a serious tip. Back OT, sign Anguisa and JWP and we are done. Sell AEG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure there is a worse one but they must be up there with the worst run clubs in the country. I think Everton are giving them a run for their money. They have spent 500m in the last 5 years and have virtually nothing to show for it, (DCL and Richy aside) other than an ex Liverpool manager and a heap of over paid players they can't offload. Brings back nasty memories for most Villa fansĀ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
