Traore is the most flamboyant player we've had in ages. In my 8 a side team he's the guy that does nothing off the ball and I'm raging at him then he scores a worldie. Hence why I wear ear muffs in my 8 a side games lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then let competition for places work it's magic. Ideally at least one of them should be able to play anywhere, left, right or centrally. If we only get one then they should definitely be OK either side or through the middle. No idea who these players are mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HanoiVillan Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 Just sat here idly thinking that what would be really good would be a promising young full-back who can cover both full-back positions, ie James Justin but from two (?) years ago. Is there anyone out there who would fit that description? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ll see, maybe we’ll play Jack as a 10 or Buendia if we manage to sign him… It’s just exciting to be linked to a higher calibre of player and I can’t resist a bit of flair and style… we certainly need to enhance our creative ability (and reduce the burden and over-reliance on Jack). We need an expert set piece taker too and some of these players fit the bill. We’ve gone over it countless times but that is our priority (and Dean has recently stated so also) and we could do with some strength and ability to dominate the ball in midfield, make it easier for us to mix it with the big teams and not be outmuscled or overpowered. Felt for Watkins, he works so hard, but we couldn’t consistently get him quality service - if we solve that problem, we’ll be scoring for fun… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is But he's also mardy, wouldn't be cheap with little resale value The worry would be that his face wouldn't fit and we could do better elsewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy is a cancer within football, a cheat, would want astronomical wages, could likely disrupt a close knit changing room and is almost 29 so outside our usual model. I don't want that prick anywhere near Villa. Everytime I've watched Zaha he's always throwing his toys out of the pram or looks like he's about to cry. Yes he has talent but not worth the hassle, would be like having a 29 year old teenager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 If Zaha was younger I'd sign him pas de problème, as he's very good, but not for the money it would cost for a player nearing his thirties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t write him off, I said I wanted a better player to replace him as a starter. Also Matt Targett isn’t a different player from the season before he is just more effective.

Don't think I've ever seen a player as bad in defence as him, and just witnessed Barkley for a full season. Difference is Ross wasn't trying. Bertie tries and somehow manages to make things worse. His technique on the ball and the things he can do with it are insane sometimes though. Just needs more consistency. 2 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CVByrne Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 He can, but we don't want to have a right footed 2nd choice right back filling in at left back for any prolonged period. Especially how we need the full backs providing the width and crosses from that side. We need a left back at some point and with no Kesler level player coming through it needs to be a new signing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
