Pez1974 Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 1 hour ago, sne said: I'd probably blame that more on Villa and our previous scouting departments than on Ligue 1 and France. Just have to look at the never ending stream of extremely talented players that they produce year after year after year. Exactly this. Same can be said for a lot of leagues, including the Championship. Get the right players with the right coaches in the right system, and it all works. The right players, with the wrong coach (sometimes) in the wrong system - England national team over the past 25 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Just now, Phil Silvers said: Yh brandt, Bellingham and the main man, that's it probably for what we're after, not happening though sadly. i think brandt we could if im honest, he's said that he wants to play as a 10 but we could see him interchanging with jack, im not sure who goes in for him, especially with draxler available too (who i hope we avoid like the plague) he'll be linked with arsenal as the cheaper option to odegaard but he's also the type of player who will do not a fat lot in arsenals current set up and they have smith rowe coming through Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thabucks Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 (edited) Brandt reportedly has a release clause of £22 million according the ever reliable Sun and other sources... Bargain if true and the sort of player I see us starting to target. imagine a midfield next season with Brandt, Grealish, Giorgian de Arrascaeta, with Sanson/McGinn & Luiz behind them.

Steero113 Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Are these links in any way credible to Arrascaeta? He's an absolute baller and would be a massive upgrade on Barkley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No link, id like him, he's leaving dortmund this summer as he's struggling for game time and stated that he wants to be a 10, arsenal are kean on him and his fee would be relatively low Hes a German international, started out on the left wing for leverkusen but they had havertz, Bailey and bought Diaby so sold him to dortmund where they didn't really need him either plus seemingly rotate a lot so he's never settled there 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exeter Fan Too Posted May 18, 2021 Visiting Supporter Share Posted May 18, 2021 On 01/05/2021 at 15:21, jacketspuds said: Ampadu has always looked good in the CDM role. Would be a decent signing as can cover either position. Last weekend's game showed how the signing of Ampadu on loan next season would provide much needed depth in a number of positions with just one (loan) signing. With Mings missing he can cover at centre half, where he has successfully played in a Champions League quarter final. With e need for a CDM (and/or midfielders out of form) he could play there as he has done in Euro/World Cup qualifiers. And has played right back for Chelsea too, so useful cover for Cash injury/suspensions. Still only 20 (and will still be 20 at the start of next season) is unlikely to get a regular first team spot at Chelsea but has enough promise/time on his side for Chelsea to prefer a loan to a sale. And Smith/Villa tried to sign him two summers ago. Makes sense to me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Paulie Posted May 18, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 18, 2021 Arrascaeta would be a phenomenal purchase. You want to talk about bringing in another creative force to take the pressure off Jack... the guy is loved at Flamengo and is a magician. Bicycle kicks, megs, incredible ball control, distribution, and finishing. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
