smg Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Haven’t read much of the thread but love the fact that some posters hope that ‘Dean has seen the same as me ‘ he’s the head coach, you are a fan than thinks you know better, guess what you really don’t , that’s why he is head coach and you are typing on a fan forum. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just had a look at a YT video and he seems very similar to Jack. Wide left, great touch, can slow the play down and score the occasional goal. He's pretty much been a regular for Seville and Lazio the last 5 years. He must be decent! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are at risk of very quickly becoming a bloated squad. I am a little fearful we could return to the bad old days of having a bomb squad of highly paid players that not only don't get in the starting 11 but don't even see the bench. Any more forward players and surely El Ghazi is off. Trez is finished here as well I feel. Can't sell him obviously but don't see him having a future here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xela Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 (edited) No rumours on any players going? We seem to be shit at selling players (aside from Jack!) Surely some Championship team sees Hourihane as a good bet. Edited August 9, 2021 by Xela 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xela Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 We were linked with Carney's older bother again today, Caleb, from Northampton. Spurs linked as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWARLEY2 Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 If and its a huge if Correa is a target then i see him as a huge El Ghazi upgrade. He is press resistant and on his day can do those Jack runs from deep on toast. But he has played full seasons when fit for Sevilla and Lazio as someone else just said . He is a very very good player . Sad to say but we need that increase in quality in the squad now and we will have to start being merciless and sell those who arent up to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bent as ****. Would be a really stupid sporting decision but **** it, if it hurts Lazio I'm all for it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dont_do_it_doug. Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 We were linked with Chieck Doucoure last summer, for what it's worth. It could be the agent/media plucking the same name out of the hat, or it could be another of those Sanson situations where it's second time lucky. Anguissa is a very interesting one. I didn't watch much of Fulham last season, but statistically he stands out as the type of player we should want. Good defensive numbers with the ability to carry the ball and pick a pass, oh and he's not a dwarf. Plus he has the Premier League experience we seem to be targeting this summer. In essence he sounds like a backup prize to Bissouma, which I am absolutely fine with if the price for the latter is £50m+. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HKP90 Posted August 9, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted August 9, 2021 45 minutes ago, jackbauer24 said: My issue with Dean Smith is I've never seen him adequately deal with Plan A not working. And basically Plan A was get the ball to HWSNBN. This season is basically one big Plan B. So it's sink or swim time. Could Terry be back by Christmas?! If you have the weapon you use it. Now we don’t we’ll set up differently. I have no doubt we’ll be decent this year once we’re up to speed, although as has already been discussed our pre season has been shite. Without Jack I think a year of consolidation and similar position to last year beckons, before we really see what a properly assembled squad is capable of. I’m happy to be in the mix and competing in the PL again at the moment. These are good times to be a Villa fan, last two weeks notwithstanding.
