It woudln't make sense to sign Tammy when we have Ollie, when we have a glaring need for a player like Buendia in our midfield Again i ask what happens if ollie gets injured ? Or hits a bad patch of form? Who do you suggest can step in? No one seems to be able to answer this question. At the moment the options are davis and wesley We wont ever challenge for europe if we are not lookjng for quality additions all over the pitch. For me i think if we can get both keep guilbert or have kelsser ar back right to cash then not invest too much on backup left back. That would loan one spot in cm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose he gives us a great option in both positions. I think I would prefer him centrally but feel our weaknesses (or inconsistent performers) are on the flanks - so I hope we are still looking at improvements in those areas. Grealish - Buendia - Traore El Ghazi - Grealish - Buendia Would be our two main options I would think, assuming we added him and not another attacking mid. And I guess we would use a mix of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me a striker and wider player are the ones we need to spend big on if the budget is there. Cover for left back definitely Right back i think keep guilbert or promote kessler to cover cash save some money there We need a cm most likely to cover void for barkley. So i think four players - unless engels leaves then we need another cb. But i would keep him. Steer should be no 2 to martinez im happy with that 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steer should be no 2 to martinez im happy with that I guess we are kinda similar, except I believe its more importance to strengthen the DM position, while you deem striker as more pressing. When I write CAM -> basically someone like Grealish who can pair with him in one of the CAM or AML (and be a creative force). A direct replacement of Barkley. We need cover and competition for LB. Targett is awesome, but he needs to be kept on toes (and has been injured alot previous to this season). RB is more if Guibert is sold or not, if he is we need another there as we need on LB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're saying that in the hypothetical scenario that you suggested, that we could spend 40m on Buendia or 40m on Tammy Abraham, it wouldn't make sense to spend that on Tammy when we have a first team quality player in that position, but don't have a first team quality player in Buendia's position 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone like Buendia should be the priority this summer and the majority of the budget can be used for that position but I'll be worried if we aren't looking for a striker too. Doesn't have to be a mega signing but we need to bridge the gap in quality between Watkins and Davis/Wesley. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not my money but i think tammys better value for 40m None of us know the budget but lets say its 80-90m I think get both of them in and spend less of the budget on defenders Promote chuk amd kesler Then just sign a left back to compete with targett. Three signings and we would have improved massively If tammys available i really do hope we go for him as i think we will regret it later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalfTimePost Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 Just now, Demitri_C said: No way would i. Why do people keep saying this? Competition for places if ollie performs he will stay in the team of he doesnt then his place will be under threat If ollie gets a 2-3 month injury touch wood wont happen who we wgot davis who has scored a mighty one goal all sesson or wesley who has been out for 18 months. We need another striker in my view as well. If thw grealish injury has taight us something we need to ensure we can cope with injuries to key players Not saying I wouldn't like to sign Tammy but there are priorities and a £40m striker isn't one of them for me. The idea that you need two £40m+ top level strikers is outdated imo. Leicester - Vardy & Iheanacho - who only really came good this year Spurs - Kane & Janssen/Llorente/Vinicius Liverpool - Firmino & Origi Arsenal - Auba & Lacazette United had Ighalo last year Arsenal there probably have the best on paper lineup but perform the worst. Chelsea have a great line up of Strikers. City are an outlier but even there, they've had times where they'd rather play no striker than Jesus. We're better off investing behind Ollie, Wes and Davis will be fine for me. I'd love another striker but it's not a priority to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomaszk Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 Quote Villa are focusing on recruiting players who have already played in English football, with a creative midfielder - or a No 10 - emerging as a priority. The involvement of Villa, who hope to complete their business early in this window, could force Arsenal into action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
