Vancvillan Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 Fernandinho would be worth whatever bonus and wage it took. Probably not tall enough for a defensive midfielder according to some on here though. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaAlex Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 Victor Nelsson has had a great Euro U21 campaign and was linked before to us and is well known by Lange. Would not be surprised to see us sign him. We were linked last summer too. He'd provide good competition for Mings and Konsa and we love Scandinavian defenders here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 Mentioned him before but Gabriel Gudmundsson who had a breakthrough season for Groningen this year when he was moved to LB would be a interesting signing for competition for Targett. (He can also fill in at LW) Apparently Atalanta are favorites if Gosens is sold but no deals in place yet. Ludwig Augustinsson is another one I've been wanting us to sign for years and with Bremen relegated he'd likely be available for a acceptable fee. But he's been injured a lot and I think he want's a regular starting spot which we would not be able to guarantee. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have Beundia on the right, Grealish attacking midfield, Dwight McNeil on the left and Pereira sitting behind Grealish with Watkins in his usual place and he's certainly surrounded by a creative tricky bunch.. Also have Ghazi, Mcginn, Traore on the bench and the squad and bench is starting to sound like a treat I believe. I do want Chuk and couple others to see gametime with the first team next season still but it has to be done at stages and to rejuvenate first team players. For me, McNeil would be the one to drop out of this - Jack at LW with Pereira at 10 - and spend on a strong DCM. Olise and/or Rashica as back up/rotation/sub.

If we aren’t successful in getting him in who will the club look at as an alternative? There's a real chance. Villa have one of the best players on their books, brilliant owners and a young, exciting side who's on the up. It's toxic at Arsenal at present. I'm not sold over Arteta's credentials. The fans are in uproar... Villa have a brilliant chance and Emi Martinez will have a say in Buendia's decision, I'm sure of it. As for alternatives: McNeill, Pereira are two. SpartanAVFC: If we can beat AFC to Emi B it sends a huge message of intent across the entire football world, reading through the Twitter feed is frustrating reading at the moment with Arsenal fans optimising the arrogance and entitled attitude that summed up the greedy Super League teams. Aston Villa are a team on the up with plans to become a dominant force in world football again. AFC are a team in decline... Arsenal would be foolish to write off Villa's chances of overtaking them this season, that's for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olise and/or Rashica as back up/rotation/sub. DM would do fine on the left. Pereira seems good at pressure and intercepting but can also move a ball forward which he did numerous times for WBA and that is why I chose him to be behind Grealish who would be our CAM again. No to Rashica, you just spoilt the lot by mentioning his name lol. Why does everything have to include Rashica around here? Get some new trainers have a Rashica face logo on, get a ham sandwich get a Rashica shaped ham slice in between the bread, have a glass of Milk have Rashica (well you know where that one is leading right), have a Cream Bun, no that's going to the same place as well. Hurry up transfer window, Villa just announce the signings already, I am unsure I will survive for another 11 weeks on VT.

Jas10 Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 Both Romero and Gazzaniga have been released, available on frees but no idea on wage demands. If Steer leaves on loan we would need a backup GK… How about we increase our Argentine contingent and further persuade Buendia to join? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post John Posted June 5, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 5, 2021 The "Daily Mail" have linked us today as being the front runners to sign Fleetwood Town's England U16 captain Josh Feeney. He is a 16 year old central defender and becomes a free agent at the end of this month. He is a product of their academy system and it is thought that the fee would be likely to be "a significant six-figure sum" should it be determined by a tribunal. Newton Heath are now said to be keen to hijack the deal and have made contact with Fleetwood themselves. Sounds to be just the sort of player, we would be looking to add to our ever increasing bunch of promising youngsters. Hopefully he won't have his head turned by the prospect of joining that lot and will prefer a move to the current FA Youth Cup holders. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skarroki Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 Having looked at the release list I think it would be good to bring in Romero from Man Utd to swap with Heaton, give Martinez some decent competition from a compatriot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skarroki Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 Would also think Gibbs, Bertrand or Rose would be better LB cover than Taylor. Whichever of those demands the least wages and has the best attitude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smg Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 Don’t think Rose has a very good attitude and Bertrand probably sees himself as more than back up. Not sure about Gibbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 I don't think we will have released Taylor just to then replace him with another ageing left-back. More likely to go for a youngster, Nathanael Ogbeta at Shrewsbury has been getting rave reviews, they only signed him in from Man City in January but he's already being linked with a move to the championship, maybe not him in particular, but wouldn't be surprised if went for someone with a similar profile, like when Leicester signed Justin from Luton when they were in league one. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villan4Life Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 (edited) Thomas Hamer is doing really well at Burton. He is a 21 year versatile player and can play (Right Back, Left Back, Centre Back and Defensive Midfield) He's played mainly at Right Back for Burton. 3 goals and 2 assists this season for Burton since signing in January from Oldham Athletic.

He was at AS Cannes as youth player and was also at Basingstoke Town and Fulham earlier in his career. . He's had a really good season named in the League One team of the season. Looks a promising player. Edited June 5, 2021 by Villan4Life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jas10 Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 Yeah, a young up and coming LB would appear to be the best option. Someone who could potentially & eventually succeed Targett but provide decent cover in the short term. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
