I think he would be a great signing for us. Him and Sanson either side of Dougie would work well in my view. Much better energy, quality and ball carrying capability in centre mid. They were happy with him so signed him, that ship sailed last season. Should do Koopmeiners this summer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's this guy in France who's meant to be pretty decent Mbappe or something. Keep an eye out for him. Aston Villa are never signing a player of Mbappe’s standing. What I’m alluding to is that with Jack Grealish, Aston Villa have a player of the type of talent that they could never ordinarily sign. And homegrown players like Grealish really are produced very rarely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise he can piss off and stay at the club that welcomes that sort of behaviour. I find myself dribbling with laughter at someone getting so worked up about a football player “liking” something on a social media platform Imagine having the opportunity to sign a prime Ronaldo, but turning it down because Ronaldo once “liked” something that someone thought unpalatable! **** hilarious stupidity 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People could all have beers, banter, and heavy debate etc, then that was that. Anyway, if I see ONE more Daily Mail " article " on my social media timelines about Meghan - Harry - Oprah - Queen - Royal gate, I just might Jump out a window.

Vive_La_Villa Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 Don’t want to go off topic so I’ll say how much I’d love it if we signed him but he is linked to Bayern, Liverpool and United so just isn’t going to happen. But then I would have said the same thing about Barkley. So who’s post did he like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as you highlighted, those stats would be the only reason we would be in the (hypothetical) race for his signature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave-R Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 I'd still like to see Takefuso Kubo here and although his club knocked us back on a loan and Smith wanted him, maybe now is the right time to revisit the idea of him joining us. He's a youngster. Kubo is an amazing talent, lightning quick and very skillful and in years could be the RW version of Grealish. They do play similar just that Kubo doesn't slow down the play and he uses speed an advantage which is what we need some of in the final third. Do not know if Leon Bailey ever got his move to the German league, he's another I'dstill love to see at this club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put my picks a couple of pages back. For that left back and DCM positions I put Sosa from Stuttgart and Koopmeiners from AZ for example. Edit. It’s easier to copy and paste it.

Look, I'm all for healthy, heavy debate but I draw the line at extremes on either side of the argument such as threatening to shoot any other humans regardless of their political beliefs. I would then as such have a problem signing a player who thinks it's ok to endorse such threats. As you say signing Pulisic is about as likely to happen as Harry and Meghan being welcomed back to Buckingham Palace with open arms (special reference just for you) so it probably won't be worrying us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt he would leave a team where he sits on the bench to play for another team where he will sit on the bench. I suppose he would move one place up the pecking order.

To be fair I don't even know what posts etc are being referred to. I'd prefer to have more context. Yes the extremes of both sides are equally as ridiculous IMO. Think I'm just tired of it all in general. Especially when it starts bleeding into and taking away from our relative ' escape ' of Football.

If he can get back to his best, which I think that he can, then for me he is a keeper. I agree with this but I do think he needs to do some work on his physique. If you look at how Jack's physique has developed through working with Ollie Stevenson over the last couple of years, SJM's appears to me to have gone backwards over that same period. He is definitely heavier now than when he joined and this can't help his mobility/energy? Targett is another who, whilst having had an awesome season, just doesn't look like an athlete to me - maybe that's just the way with England left backs because Shaw is obviously similar? I feel if he could get himself fitter/more like Grealish in physical terms, he could be as good a left back as any in world football given what I have seen of him this season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
