If you can’t get enjoyment out of a total maverick then I feel sorry for you all.

skarroki Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Just gone through 3 pages of people arguing whether we should replace a player we've already replaced a month ago for a club record fee. Slow news day? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The amount of times Traore beat a man and could put someone through, but instead chose to beat them again, and again, and again then lose the ball. Mega Frustrating. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last season for Villa 11th most minutes was El Ghazi on 1600 mins and we didn't have European games and hardly any cup games. Liverpool won the league with less rotation than us last season However, they had more quality players, and more strength in depth. Something we didn't have.

Plus the absolute Villa Talk classic of calling him "rubbish", which he very demonstrably is not. State of this place 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we want to be a top team that is what we’ll need. Unless you’re right and the rest of the football world is wrong and NSWE are just chucking money away for the fun of it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jas10 Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Don’t write my boy BT off, he’s our most entertaining player. Give him a chance, he will improve (exciting). We’ve put up with comparative shit in El Ghazi & Trez, can’t we afford this lad some patience? He’s way better and has made a contribution in his first season for us. He scores and assists, that’s his priority. And he’s won us games, thrilling us at the same time with some absurd skills . His technique and elegance on the ball is more than welcome. Defensive discipline is something that can be worked on. Talent and ability, not so much… Sometimes it just seems like so many of us are quick to shit on our own players, give them a chance. Just look at how much better Targett was this season… Oh and Buendia is going to be class, don’t you dare…. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thabucks Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 (edited) Does anyone know much about James Garner from Man Utd? Last year on his contract and obvs a cheaper alternative to winks and co we’ve been linked with. We should to be targeting players on the peripheries of the 1st team squad but not quite there with PSG where I’d be looking most ( Edouard, Soumare, Diaby, Nkunku, Ikone all let go by PSG ) They have just released Kays Ruiz-Atil - though he is Barca bound according to reports… Chelsea are another obvious team to target.

TheStagMan Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 So Bertie.... I think he will improve this season as he settles in more. A good pre-season for Dean to work his magic on him and we will have a hell of a player on our hands. Jas - how's that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
