Both players are no better than our current back up players and block the development of our numerous youngsters. Cantwell to replace El Ghazi, Traore, Trezeguet or even Chukwuemeka and the Ramseys? No thank you. Even if you judge him to be a slight improvement on any of them, is he so much better it's worth paying millions for? Not in my opinion. Will Hughes vs Douglas Luiz, Nakamba, Sanson, McGinn, Hourihane, Chukwuemeka or the Ramseys? Same problem again. The only back up players we should be looking at are in central defence and maybe up front. In the middle of the park we need people who can displace our current first choices, like Buendia and Bailey do to poor Traore. I'm not that keen on either of them but both are sitting on contracts that expire next summer so might be smart signings when it comes to value for money.

HalfTimePost Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Here's what the Reddit guy said. Also says the guy he gets info from has said Jack is definitely staying in this. But similarly says he doesn't believe his own info and post. So I really wouldn't put much stock in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first 2 have been shown to be right though. Saying Leon Bailey is a definite and us signing him only one day later seems legit. And the JWP stuff had died down for a while before there was a sudden report we had a bid rejected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No thank you. I love Traore, but to suggest Cantwell isn’t a much better player than the other 4 you mention is just bonkers imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mind him he's just another one that I'd have concerns over cost and role that he'd have here, as a £20m+ squad player he starts to not sound so good If we'd signed him 2 years ago during the original promotion splurge id have been very happy Edited July 31, 2021 by villa4europe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love for us to sign someone like say, Nabil Fekir (27) in midfield and Sander Berge (23 ) for DM. For the flanks, we should sign Emi Buendia (24) and Leon Bailey (23). Both of them are comfortable playing on either sides so we can swap them around depending on the opposition. Im not sure who to add for left back maybe that brentford kid, Rico Henry (23) that the gaffer used to manage. All of them are quality footballers full of creativity & end product and would start in any top 10 PL sides. Im not suggesting we buy all of them but any 3 out of those options and we look a much better side. We need these type of players so that we can finally rotate the squad without looking clueless when Jack inevitably gets injured. I’ve been patiently waiting for the transfer to finally be official and say this, but I’m over the moon that we have signed both Emi Buendia and Leon Bailey. I first suggested the signing of both players back in May, way before either were linked to the club. Im very much delighted that the club has signed them as they were my top picks too! Cant wait to see them both play for the club. And here’s to hoping Jack stays and maybe one last push to signing JWP. Wow what a team that’ll be. Its a good time to be a Villan! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thabucks Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 (edited) If we do indeed sign Cantwell then the data must show he can come in make a mark and improve us overall. Rather have him than Trez and Conor tbh. Showed he can handle this league, is young and with a year left on his contract - a deal could be there to be done which could be too good not to look at.

Phil Silvers Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 (edited) If we do not sign Cantwell, could the mods change word removed to Todd Cantwell please. or preferably just Cantwell. Edited July 31, 2021 by Phil Silvers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
