rodders0223 Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Has Amavi improved since he left Villa I've not watched any game since? Be nice for him to come back and right some wrongs. Seemed a great lad and it was a tough rehab but I remember him coming back and getting absolutely rinsed by some really poor sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Champions league and cup runs they’ll all get plenty of opportunities. You can’t help but admire Leicester. Winning the league was unbelievable and a freak occurrence. But after that they could have sold all their better players and become a mid table team at best. Their recruitment really has been spot on. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather we signed a young prospect than a backup just to be a backup. Rico Henry fits the bill except he'd probably be too expensive. I too, would sooner sign players on the way up, not on the way down. fortunately, that is the club policy too.....my only exception, would be a midfield General, where experience is key. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been on fire recently, or could they keep all 3 strikers happy? Argument could be that Vardy is in the twilight of his career? Can't see him wanting to hang about the bench much longer. Still only 24 as well. I thought they were supposed to be signing Edouard? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair play, also the perks of being " up there " and involved in multiple competetions I guess. Which is what we are aiming for. Hopefully we can aim for longer cup runs and so on to give fringe players more game time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 (edited) What do you all think of Mario Lemina? He always seems quite a busy player when I watch Fulham. Probably not much better than what we have though to be fair. Edited May 6, 2021 by Vive_La_Villa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he can't find another professional football team willing to offer him a job then it's fair to say he isn't good enough for our bench. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 (edited) every club can want who they like, but the club they are registered to, has to want to sell. It might seem obvious, 'cause it is. all these players these news lines put through, have no evidence the selling club is happy to sell.

thabucks Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Amavi on a free initially sounds enticing but, you then need to factor in his wage demands which I would suggest be quite substantial and do you offer your back up LB more than the current incumbent ?

Their recruitment really has been spot on. Leicester have basically sold their best players, except Vardy. Its just not noticed because their recruitment is good. They sell 1 very good player for a very high fee each year chillwell, mahrez, Maguire, even drinkwater and reinvest in younger players like tielemans, Fofana, Justin etc. Our fans need to be realistic and understand that eventually a Grealish, mcginn, Konsa etc will be sold for a ridiculous sum then have confidence in the recruitment to replace with a younger alternative. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dean Smith had him at Walsall then signed him for Brentford, he knows exactly how he plays, until his recent injury he was the outstanding attacking full back in the Championship, he can step up to the Prem with ease, Hopefully with us, if we don't make it I can see DS coming in for him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 2 hours ago, Zhan_Zhuang said: Perhaps but what is too expensive? I'm firmly of the belief we need to start spending. Many thought the price we paid for Watkins was way too much. Cash was Player of the season for Forest and valued at £16million. How much would Henry be? Surely the Henry wants PL football, will he get it with Brentford? If he doesn't then a couple of PL clubs will be interested, maybe we will be one of them? I think we should be looking for a James Justin type persoanlly. Leicester signed him for about 8m and he bidded his time as backup for half a season before breaking in towards end of 19/20 when they got injuries to likes of Ricardo Peirera. Don't really see the point in spending 15m + on one as given how Targett's played this year he'll be starting 30 + games next season unless he gets an injury so 15-30m signings must be for starters in positions where we need them. I've mentioned him a few times but Conor Roberts at Swansea is one I'd seriously look at. Can play at RB or RWB so similar to Cash profile last summer, starts every game for Wales and given they may sign Hourihane for 4-5m then it seems a sensible deal if we propose him in return plus another 5-6m. The sort who could come in as back up first then would get his chances with Cash getting suspended or another 3-4 week injury. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-R Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Were bound to buy one Brentford player, without a doubt we've started a relationship with them and a player a season at least seems to be on the cards, question is who will that player be?

If I were Leicester or us for that matter I wouldn’t go near Edouard. Watched him a few times and seems clumsy, not that quick or physical. I can see why he might get goals in Scotland but not in the premier league and certainly not for £30 + million. If you compare him to Dembele who I think he replaced it’s like night and day 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
