VillaJay Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Controversial, but I don't see much difference in quality between him and Emile Smith Rowe. I was never sold on ESR, never been particularly sold on Cantwell either though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketspuds Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 If we do sign Cantwell it will be interesting to see how much Norwich fleece us for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaAlex Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 If we sign him can he lose his goal celebration. Not a massive fan of his but trust our backroom team if they think he's good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHY Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 (edited) Seen quite a bit of him and have always been underwhelmed by him. He isn’t going to improve our midfield that much imo and we would have to massively over pay for him. It’s annoying that we seem to be getting most positions correct but midfield is still our biggest problem and this kid isn’t solving it.

Aston_Villan4 Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 What a terrible signing this would be. Especially if this is meant to be some sort of a replacement for Grealish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

picicata Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Will have to trust our scouts on this one if we are genuinely after him as he's always seemed a bit of a nothing midfielder to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveAV1 Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 I know nothing about him but most seem underwhelmed. There seems some concern about his character too. Is this drivel from people who have never watched him and largely based on newspaper nonesense? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MachoFantastico Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Saw a bit of him last season, was massively overshadowed by Emi but he looked lively and worked well in the Norwich team. Depends on how much he'd cost though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness, if you want a Grealish replacement (and I don’t think we do), every version is a poor man’s one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your not gonna bring in another player that plays like Jack Grealish. That's just the reality. Looking through an honest lens though, Villa are so poor without Grealish. It brings into focus the depth and quality we need to bring in throughout the team. Not just Grealish. Cantwell is a good talent. I wouldn't mind him at all. We need to improve the squad all over. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Your Round Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 I can’t pretend to have seen Cantwell much outside of the times Villa have played Norwich and the Buendia highlights videos. He has some spectacular moments and it seems he can dribble and pass well, but he’s far behind Buendia in terms of goal contributions. He only played 30 games last season, scoring 6 and 6 assists. Not amazing stats, was he injured? I’m not against the signing, I trust our scouts, but it doesn’t excite me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
