IrishVilla10 Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 I would be disappointed with JWP, don’t think he’s the answer when we have McGinn, Doug and Sanson. I don’t think he fixes our midfield issues 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a balancing act isn’t it. You want to develop our talent but you need to know when to cut your losses and recognise a real weakness. I still think a lot of our midfield problems came when accommodating Barkley. But someone like JWP would instantly improve the engine room. I would be very comfortable going into the season if he signed. I’ve seen big improvements in Naka, since his first season. Mainly his ball retention. I think he should have had more game time last season if I’m honest. McGinn had it tough last season, but I think that was because he was happy to play roles not suited to him as a sacrifice for the team, also seems to be hitting a stretch of fitness, and I think he have a better season coming. On ligue 1 showing Sanson seems like a player with the right attributes and character. He’s now settled into the squad and area, just frustrating with injury setbacks. Doug is young, but by all accounts if having a good Olympics. I cannot workout whether he is too weak defensively or whether he’s exposed because of the balance we’ve had in midfield. For players like Ramsey, do you afford them minutes to develop? Or do they have to take the little opportunities by the scruff of the neck and put themselves in the forefront of Smith’s mind?

It sounds like you have, he looks great on YouTube and in his brief appearances for our first team French colleague (General nerd about European football) states he's definitely a CL quality midfielder. Worth 30million and we basically stole him for 14m with the French TV deal in tatters. Edited August 6, 2021 by pas5898 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Ramsey is the perfect candidate to be sent off to a championship team where he can get all the minutes he needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 (edited) BALLER Aston Villa to replace Grealish with Correa? - Football Italia (football-italia.net) Quote ASTON VILLA TO REPLACE GREALISH WITH CORREA? According to Il Messaggero, Aston Villa have joined the race to sign Lazio striker Joaquin Correa who could potentially replace Jack Grealish. The England star has joined Manchester City for €117m and The Claret & Blue are now looking for a replacement for their former captain. According to the Rome-based paper, Il Messaggero, the Premier League side have set their sights on Lazio wantaway striker Correa. Everton and Leicester City have also been linked with a move for the Argentina international who wants to leave the Stadio Olimpico in the summer. During his unveiling press conference, new Lazio coach Maurizio Sarri confirmed that the player is seeking an escape route from the Biancocelesti. Inter are also monitoring the 26-year-old and could sign him if Romelu Lukaku joins Chelsea. The Blues need to put €130m on the table to sell the former Manchester United hitman and Inter’s plan is to sign two strikers if Lukaku returns to London. One of them would be Correa, who worked with Inter coach Simone Inzaghi at Lazio. Edited August 6, 2021 by JAMAICAN-VILLAN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRO, like myself, has been calling for some height in that DM role for quite some time now. For me, that would be the final ingredient. We need a combative unit to compliment the energy of John McGinn. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of the names that get thrown about I like the look of Nkunku the most but he'd be mega expensive so probably unobtanium. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think the price is the issue as much as him being on a Champions League team is. I’d love to have him and could be yet another incredible facilitator but it would take some special convincing to get him to leave a CL team. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not really a DCM in the style people are clamoring for but he's young, big strong with a great engine and I think he'd be a solid option. Not that aggressive or combative but a good passer and really, really tall. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he could be very good in a better side. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
