CVByrne Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 I think we lack a right footed left winger of right quality now Jack has left. El Ghazi not good enough. I think that needs to be priority now as much as I want us to add Ward Prowse too. Cantwell, Ward Prowse and Axel in. Wesley, Guilbert and El Ghazi out would be a dream window.

Popular Post pintpotvilla Posted August 5, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 5, 2021 Really good interview with Kaveh Solekol on Sky Sports just now showing Villa in a great light. He talked of Jack leaving with a heavy heart and that he has mixed emotions today and then of Villas ambition to be a Champions league side soon. He says they have great people at the club with ambitious owners and that in 12 months we could be looking back on Jacks departure as the spark that ignited our jump to the very top Do you know what? He just might be right UTV 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Axel can play right back, but he's not exactly the fittest of individuals, and if we're using him there becasue Cash is unavailable we are back to three centre backs again. Madness. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Changed you list, we're missing the left wing as we've lost Jack and need another winger now who is left sided and right footed like Cantwell or McNeil 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the cash you'd get I really don't see the point in selling Guilbert. He's good back up until Kesler returns next summer hopefully ready to push Cash.

useless Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Unless Buendia is playing centrally and I'm not sure why he would be as that's not his position, then we need another attacking midfielder, from last season we've lost Barkley, Grealish and Hourihane, I think that's why we were trying to sign Smith Rowe; that Tom Collomosse who broke the Leon Bailey story says that we want a 'versatile attacking midfielder' and that's what I think will happen, with Buendia and Bailey playing wide. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s a right footer, very good on the left, but still scored most goals with his right. Under Smith he will either play centrally as you say or on the LW. We need another player who can also do both. Although, I would also imagine Ings or Watkins will rotate through LW pretty significantly too, Smith may not see it as a need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 He hasn't gone yet but he's likely to, and even if he stays he will rarely play and almost certainly won't be a starter for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Conor, but if he gets anywhere near starting for us, especiually with the funds we now have available to strengthen, I'd be petrified. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too fussed about LW we have plenty of options going forward for the moment. I won't feel at ease until midfield is sorted. Do agree. Our midfield (centrally) was our weakest part of the squad last season and didn't offer enough protection for our defence. I really want us to address this as a priority.

Yep. Has played a big part for us but a time for a new chapter of both of us. No hard feelings. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulMcGrath_5 Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Manuel Locatelli would be perfect--maybe slightly too ambitious but at the rumoured price of £35m, seems worth a look. Juventus apparently interested but don't seem to be able to afford him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
