We would be a difficult destination for any striker with something to prove, he is unlikely to get many minutes if he doesnt start banging them in at his first chance, the premier league and our expectation (due to spending) doesnt allow for it. Smith will start feeling the heat next season if the project stutters, and if our most recent season was repeated but back to front, Smith would run the risk of being gone by January. It’s small margins at this level and this ambition, every position above where we are stakes some reeling in and consistencty. I don’t see any problem with that. Any striker coming in will have to back themselves to be number one and be better than the person in possession of the shirt. That’s how you grow as a club. It will also push Watkins to improve. Man Utd had Cole Sheringham and Solksjaer, they still went out and took Yorke from us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It used to be free on FOX sports but how often did you get a Villa game live?? only against the top teams, so far better than before. Yeah their browser web application sucks - on mobile it’s okay but they also have an Xbox app which I use Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He still had 4 forwards for two positions. We could easily have 2 (I think Wesley needs a loan to get fully fit) quality forwards for 1 position Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southgate is a confused mess at the moment. I thought his World Cup was a real emergence of an intelligent if limited manager working with what he had. He now has probably the best squad of players for a competition we have had in my memory, with at least 3 world class players which is about as good as it gets. Yet he cannot play to our strengths. Shaw in the starting 11 is a no brainier whether playing 4 of 5 at the back. I rate Chilwell ahead if Shaw. Shaw makes some poor decisions, I don't trust him. Chilwell has better delivery. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jas10 Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 Anyone seen much of Sinisalo? Was on loan at Ayr United. Could he be involved in the squad, become our 3rd choice? Onodi looks promising too… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
