I’m not saying he’s not a decent player or could press for a place, but can’t see this position being a priority when we have players that can play there and more pressing requirements elsewhere. Also, I am suggesting we move on our two other forwards: AEG and Trez, not keep them, that’s why I mentioned them. I would rather see Martial or Sterling as they are clever, established PL players and would contribute immediately, however would think these are out of range. BTW, I just can’t see Alvarez going to Man Utd. I am not sure I see a DM unless it’s a big signing (established or big potential). I genuinely think we are going to add additional attacking intent from the wing back position and a more cultured, ball playing CB. These would allow our possession and attacks to push further up while maintaining a midfield/forward 5 to anchor the middle/last third areas. I think only after we establish this balance Gerrard will look to improve the forward 3 positions in a later window, which could even be summer 2024.

Kessie is not an aspiring midfielder. His next deal should take him to around 400k a week He wants 200k now to stay at Milan but if goes into the market PSG will blow teams away financially Edited December 22, 2021 by Zatman 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing in the U18s and sometimes U23s at Cov apparently, lads only 15 or 16 so is doing well. But definitely for the future 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No no no no no, sign him. See how the Neanderthals down the road react to seeing him in a Villa shirt. And then keep him on the bench. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we want real firepower up top that consistent hitman in front of goal we will need to try and swoop for that player between now and the summer, its a bonus having that CB you describe but also a luxury, so we need to try and find that in the middle of the pitch, LB will need to be strengthened as Targett doesn’t have a clue what to do with the ball when he gets into the opposition half , not saying he's terrible btw he has improved his form over the last few weeks, i agree martial or sterling would be way more effective, martial may not be out of our range , not at all actually the more i think about it but I wouldn’t him anyway tbf 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
