Laughable Chimp Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 (edited) 6 hours ago, Kiwivillan said: He isn't. He's played more games at RM in a 442 and 1 less at LM in 442 than he has at CF. He's played at RB 19 times I think that was one season several seasons ago. He's no more a striker than lots of our attacking forwards he's just plugged a gap because Haller was a flop The guy had 24 starts last season all at the striker position. I think he was playing there at the end of the season before too. Literally hasn't played at RM, LM and RB in at least an entire season. I can believe that he was originally only a makeshift striker when he started playing there but its clear they see him as a proper striker now. Especially considering he's doing pretty good for them playing up front. Edited August 3, 2021 by Laughable Chimp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's been my point for months 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aston_Villan4 Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Old news but this would’ve been a nice one to bring in. Wonder how much Raiola is fleecing them for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nnock1984 Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Imagine keeping Grealish spending 100m on Buendia, Bailey and JWP and getting a couple of experienced free heads like Young and Cahill - what a team and squad we’d have!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know we had a similar thing with sarr earlier but is this just too random? We have probably left him hanging and haven't told him we have signed Bailey instead. Poor lad thinks he still has a chance of coming to the mighty Villa! Edited August 3, 2021 by Made In Aston Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like he's got a similar positional game to Alvarez, SS or Striker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thabucks Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Yes please to Johnathan David, not that his liking a post means diddly squat but he is the sort Of player who’ll take us up a level. I now don’t really fear Jack leaving us. It would solve FFP with an injection of £100 mill pure profit and a attacking collective of; Watkins, Bailey, Buendia, Traore, El Ghazi, & say JDavid is class. Obviously rather he stayed, but sacrifice one in order to improve the 25 does have its merits. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we keep Jack and get Bailey and JWP, Dean really will have lived up to his comments about wanting more creativity this window. We should definitely be able to break the teams down that just sat back against us and went for a smash and grab. It was brilliant watching us do well against the “big” teams last season but we also dropped points in games that were there for the taking and fortunately it looks like we are trying to address this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thabucks Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Jonathan David is the kinda stealth Jedi move out of nowhere I’ve been anticipating us to make. With Wesley out for so long and now Davis injured be interesting couple of weeks ahead on the striker front. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
