Suarez is old but still has a good goal scoring record. I haven't seen much of him lately, but remember him having exceptional movement in and around the box. We will be guaranteed goals galore. My question is why the big push for short term success this season, when the is nothing to play for in league or Cup? I'm starting to suspect Gerrard may be looking for this so everyone thinks he has done a great job, which will help him get another job with Liverpool or another champion's league team. The problem for us will be that it leaves us in a mess with lots of older, high wage players who have no resale value. You can't build with that strategy, as a club like ours needs to be make good profits on our playing staff and reinvesting it wisely. As we can't loan him, purchasing a 34 year old on a 2-3 year contract with large wages isn't good business imo.

Beastmix Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 I love Suarez's 'win at any cost' mentality combined with his 'get nasty if losing' slant. My favourite striker since R9 retired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the conspiracy is that Gerrard wants Villa to finish as high as possible in the league he can get us so that he looks good and he can then leave for another job.

deeps Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Don’t see anyone like Ings leave this window. Not a chance. And Arsenal will try a fancier name than Ollie come the summer too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a cunning plan by a football manager You are missing the point. It's about what position it leaves us in when he moves on, with an aging playing staff who are not adding value and the club can't shift. If the club stuck to buying high potential younger players we would have a better chance of building sustainable success, instead of a short term fix, where we finish 6th one season and then spend a few more in the bottom half of the table, while we rebuild an aging team.

I said at the start of the season I thought Uefa Cup spot was the mandate. Explains the decision to drop Dean and go big on January signings. Long shot, but the downside of not making it is that we probably lose good players in the Summer as big clubs poach. Upside of making it is we keep everyone we want to keep, sign coutinho on perm, have enough games to blood youngsters next season (keeping them happy), attract bigger players, launch assault on top 4. Feels like Newcastle acquisition might be speeding up plans. Act now or risk being overtaken. European Conference League easier to achieve assuming teams from top 6 win both cups. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rinse and repeat. Its a tough one, but eventually we get to a point where we need to be successful now, not in 3 years time. In order to do that you need "now" players and not relying on Archer, Iroegbunam, Chukwumeka, Ramsey x 2, etc. If you buy the very best 23-27 year olds, they cost money we probably cant spend yet and we'd be competing against the very elite for those players 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
