VillaChris Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Bit unrelated to this but was flicking through Oliver Giroud's book yesterday and he confirmed we were in for him on last day of 2020 transfer window but he chose to stay at Chelsea instead. We signed Borja Baston instead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Defensive midfielder and left back should be priority. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_eristic Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 They'll probably say we need a different kind of striker with some height to give us options, like the option to just lump the ball forward at every opportunity... oh, wait.

AshVilla Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 We all know were going to end up with either Harry Winks or Oliver Skipp. With Conte going there i expect a clearout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like Aaron Ramsey then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has also bossed it with Genk in the last couple of seasons in the absence of a certain Tanzanian great and we love a Belgium-based striker so I'm guessing all of that is where the link has come from rather than anything based in truth. Or this is an extreme response to us now seemingly playing Pulis ball. Lange should know about him as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said it god knows how times that Targett 8s a limited player and we needed a player with the potential to relegated him to the bench. I Also said Ash is just too old and not cut out to be the marauding modern fullback we require. I would still start Ash ahead of Targett mind.

We NEED someone to break up play and start attacks for Dougie/McGinn. Personally I'd bring in Bissouma and bench Mcginn. I'm rating him less and less. His technique measn he can only be a supportive box2box at the most. His technique, and intelligence aren't sufficient to boss the midfield. I rate Doug and Ramsey to have higher potential and are already superior in terms of technique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rossco76 Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 I had a look through all the premier league squads yesterday searching for an established physically strong DM that might not be getting much game time somewhere else but couldn't find one. Unless we have a massive surge up the table it's not going to be easy and we may have to buy from championship or overseas again which comes with it's own risks.

I’m hoping it’s a mistake, otherwise I will need to question myself about how much I actually know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
