WHY Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 8 hours ago, DCJonah said: This way of thinking confuses me so much. Seriously, there seems to be this idea that football is over this year. Leeds were in the championship 2 years ago. West Ham barely survived a couple of years ago. Everton have spent millions to build over the last few years. There's always going to be different teams fighting for those top spots. Wolves were there not long back, Southampton have had their moments. Where has the lack of patience come from? We haven't been a consistent midtable team since MON left. Why don't we try and achieve that before we panic that we'll never achieve anything if we don't spent another £50 million on one player this summer. So you are confused by why of thinking? You don’t agree with it, is what you mean. That’s fair enough, football is about opinions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Willard Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 So now we know aren't signing JWP. Now what? We done? I think the squad is more imbalanced than last year. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villabromsgrove Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Well done to Southampton as they may just have secured their Premier survival. Key players in key positions are hugely important. I hope Dean and co realise that centre midfield will be key to whether we flourish or struggle this season. I'd love to know what they're really thinking behind the scenes this transfer window. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delphinho123 Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 A bad result against Newcastle and you’ll start to see a few people getting more anxious about losing Grealish. It’s clear to see that we’re a couple short still. Another loss will confirm that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MWARLEY2 Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Welcome Will Hughes . To be fair i think he is a very good player who got stuck at the wrong club at the wrong time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Just trying to catch up. I've skimmed the last ten or so pages. My summary as follows: JWP is both a fantastic player who will improve us in many ways but he's also no better than Westwood and will offer nothing different. Sanson is either a pressing midfielder, a box to box midfielder with defensive skills or an attacking midfielder McKennie is either similar to Sanson or nothing like him at all. He's also like JWP or nothing like him at all. No mention of Bissouma at all. Not acceptable. He must be mentioned on every page despite us never being linked. Some people prefer untested African players from France to proven Premier league players. Some people prefer proven Premier league players to untested African players form France. ...and random posters like me and you know what Villa need more than the manager, coaching staff and analysts at the club 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Scorpio Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 I cannot see any new signings. Maybe a few outgoings but that assumes teams will pay to have Wesley and Hourihane etc. Loans do not help us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
