DevonIsAPlaceOnEarth Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 £6.5m for a league one player. That is insane if remotely true. Worth bearing in mind we paid a similar fee for Delph. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not saying u don't have any but any I have seen has Webster as better I think Webster would be the kind of player I'd actually like us to sign as the medium term successor to Mings. He is good, I was actually starting that paragraph to say he'd be the one I wanted if we went for an English CB. And went to get his stats to show why he'd be better than Mings at what we're trying to build and they were similar. Admittedly he's done it in less games so it probably is better but his short passing is a touch better and he completes more per game so keeps the ball moving more than Mings does. Long balls are worse though. And Maupay/Trossard are similarish in stature to Ollie/Buendia in terms of how they'd deal with long balls, so Mings is a touch better there.

I wanted us to sign Webster when he signed for Brighton and we wouldn't/couldn't pay the extra. I think he would be ideal for Villa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A suggestion that Gerrard may want to clear out Dougie who won’t sign a new contract and Targett who he can’t guarantee game time to. In addition, we need a destructive midfielder and a CB??
