Vive_La_Villa Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Really not getting the Buendia love fest. But to be fair I haven’t seen him in this season, only last. He’s a tidy little player. But he seems to be really highly rated on here. Saying that I once get over excited by Benrahama and that didn’t really work out as well as West Ham would have thought. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d reckon they’d sell for around 30 million with loads of add ons if he pushed for a move. Can’t see anyone paying that though so it’s another season at Norwich.

Other targets much more likely as much as I like the player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveAV1 Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 We’re already lacking physical presence and pace, I’m not sure that Buendia gives us either of those things. For the money that we’d probably have to spend on him I’d like to thing our all singing all dancing recruitment team should be able to find us better value in the market.

Villastine Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Be interesting to see if we try to sign Ivan Toney. Our resident Brentford fan can give us the low down. I'm sure DS has the inside line. Looks like he could go on to be something special. Papers reckon we're after a CB to cover Engels moving on! Be a little surprised if we do but like the look of Collins at Stoke if DS doesn't trust our youth options Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s one of the most creative players in English football, proven at PL level and carried it on in the championship. Lacking that ability when Jack was out has cost us top 8 this season.

He didnt really tear up the league last season and picks up too many cards Is better players I feel than Buendia with better value, look at Benrahma, Maupay who tore up Championship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great piece of clickbait stab in the dark poor excuse for journalism ... Quote A Villa source has told Football Insiderthe club are planning to recruit a new centre-back capable of providing cover and competition for Tyrone Mings, Ezri Konza and Kourtney Hause. The profile the club are seeking is a defender with Premier League experience who has the potential to slot straight into their first team. This demonstrates the ambition of Villa, who are preparing for another summer of big spending. https://www.footballinsider247.com/sources-aston-villa-set-sights-on-signing-defender-from-rivals-to-replace-engels/ Take your pick?!

paul514 Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 (edited) 12 hours ago, Nicho said: It’s unrealistic to expect all our young players to step up next season but I would love to see Barry, Carney, JPA, B Young, Kessler, Ramsey, Raihky be the ones to bulk up our squad next season as back ups if we focus on strengthening first team places and match day squad. The outs will be current subs who’s replacements get in or directly challenge the first team. I also think we will sign a lot already in the UK. I’m not adding Luiz and Grealish to the outs. Out: Hourihane, Elmo, Taylor, Engels, Trez (injured) or El Ghazi, Nakamba, Wesley (loan), Barkley (bin) Seems pretty likely atleast 5 of that 8 will be leaving so I expect 5 in of better quality. In: Sander Berge, Emi Buendia, Tammy Abraham, Michael Olise, Dwight Mcneil Unknown: centre back, left back, right back. Happy with Scandinavian/Eastern European wonderkids as is my football manager style. On the above there is no way we have 8 out 9 in but we will have it targeted and make the hard decisions within our budget. Wingers, Defensive mid and back up defenders probably the priority. That lot are probably 180 million and that is without a left back or centre back……. Edited May 1, 2021 by paul514 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our main deficiency is chance creation and patterns of play. We have no one besides Jack who can offer much in that capacity. He could be gettable for 25-35m, has been at Norwich long enough and proven himself, he’s young and has the potential to become a genuine star player. Just needs to play in a better side with better players. He’s been one of the most creative players in both the Prem & Championship for the last few year, is superior to the likes of Barkley (even whenever he’s been on top form) and should hit the ground running. Let’s not miss out on such a player who can take us to the next level and beyond. That price when they went down yea…. Not anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
