Sulberto21 Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 (edited) Jonathan Bamba or Nanitamo Ikone , Baboucar Kamara or Kepheren Thuram Dani Olmo. (?) If not Bamba or Ikone. Bailey. We also need a captain or two. Let's see how ambitious NSWE really are. To replace Jack we need to find someone like the Sabre toothed diving knobend. (Fernandes).

sne Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 (edited) IF Grealish is indeed sold I'd be OK with a transition/rebuild season where we bring in players with a long term plan rather than "win now" players. We are never going to be able to replace Grealish with any player we can attract, but we can build a team with the money that makes us better than we currently are if we give it time and are smart. Even thou there are no doubt players in the PL that could improve us or help us I'd generally like us to look abroad for signings. Value in money is night and day but of course it means more job for the coaches to help these player integrate, settle and learn the league. It is a marathon not a sprint. Obviously I'd rather Grealish stayed and we built that team around him. Edited July 31, 2021 by sne 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He probably should be if a club doesn't want to sell him and I bet he is by their fans. I'd understand if that's what they asked for him. Do I believe if you wag £40m+ Infront of Mike Ashley he says no? Not really. Might take £50m but he's not holding out for £70m Edited July 31, 2021 by HalfTimePost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JWP is a freekick specialist who won't get many freekicks in dangerous positions without Jack. Sarr is 18 with only half a season behind him in France. How can that combined replace Jack Grealish. For a club like Villa, replacing Jack with one player is impossible. If we were Man City and Jack left us we would need to spend 150 to 200 million to buy Mbappe or Neymar. To replace Jack with 3 or 4 players it's still extremely difficult. We would need to get Bailey, Alvarez and Bissouma, Locatelli, and ESR! Bissouma is too expensive, far better buying abroad at his crazy price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is he a better bet for us than £35-40m on Ismaila Sarr? I think so. Is he a better bet than Todd Cantwell replacing Grealish? Yeah I think so too. Like I said £40m+ add ons is fair. We are going to get rinsed by every club for every player though. We're going to overpay for somebody (probably everybody) or end up with very little..

HalfTimePost Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 ASM -Buendia-Bailey Bailey-Buendia-Sarr Cantwell-Buendia-Bailey I know which id choose. I'd still like to play Buendia on the right to be honest but I'm struggling to think of a class #10 we can go and get to play Bailey-???-Buendia As it stands, out of all the options, I'd prefer ASM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what we pay scouts for, to find players who aren't overpriced Bailey for £35m for example looks alright After that rather than ASM for or Sarr for £40m+ I'd rather go deeper in to the scout reports, go unearth someone, don't over pay because someone else's scout has already done the work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we've said Prem experience is our number one goal this window. I'd love us to be going after Aouar, Cherki, Nkunku but we won't be. I'm surprised we've gone for Bailey tbh. Hopefully we pull something out of the bag but I can't see us looking to the continent 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PieFacE Posted July 31, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted July 31, 2021 I can honestly see us making a move for Cantwell if Jack moves on. And for where we are right now, I don't think it would be a bad replacement. Obviously keeping Jack is optimal but it's looking pretty unlikely to me. Though, not sure Norwich would want to sell him though. Wonder if we'll firm our interest in Arrascaeta if Jack goes and play him down the middle with Bailey & Buendia on the flanks?

jacketspuds Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Leeds linked with Damsgaard. Looked class at the Euro's. Would be a good option at the reported £22m, certainly better than Cantwell for the CAM role. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanted us to sign him all year, been really impressed with him at Sampdoria. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

De Arrascaeta and Cantwell as a backup, I'd take. Cantwell as a starting LW to replace Jack, absolutely not. But I could live with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
