DM we don't necessarily need to sort until the summer, but would be great if we could get one of our main targets in. Thought they were recalling axel so we dont have a choice?

I know what you mean but let’s not forget how well we have done already. I’m actually looking forward to February 1st so I can start to focus on getting excited about watching Coutinho again. In a Villa shirt no less! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the podcast had the Irish guy I think we all remember from the 7-2 plus another irish guy ( as another Irish man this was highly embarrassing to realise our education system had produced these two gentlemen), so it began how it's probably a good move for all three parties, ok ya I'm agreeing. Then they say he walks into villa team as best CB at club, hmm I'm not sure. But then they started quoting price, get ready, 50million No didn't make mistake he said, 50 million. They are bloody deluded. Maybe 2 seasons ago but not now when he can’t even get in to the Liverpool match day squad. If we could loan him with an option to buy I think it would be good business.

We've had it better since NSWE than for a decade before Disappointment will be more about possibly not signing a DM. It's been a priority for ages. Wouldn't be so bad if Nakamba wasn't injured for so long but if we don't sign one then we are going to see the same frustrations in midfield for the rest of the season.

It's the same load of need a DM obsession rubbish on here constantly. Our 433 looks great with several options for the middle 3. Luiz Mcginn Ramsey Sanson Chuk.

Nothing to do with lacking this mythical VT DM I agree with the attack not putting away the chances but also felt the team looked a lot more solid when Nakamba started Gerrards first 5 games. If Nakamba was still fit I don't think Luiz is getting much game time (although he would have gone to the AFCON). With the current midfield I can still see a few more Brentford away type of performances in the second half of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delphinho123 Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 I think Gomez would be a very good signing if we're confident he has recovered properly from his injuries. He's had a couple of nasty ones, but there was a time back in 18/19 I think it was, when he was absolutely superb alongside Van Dijk. He certainly fits the profile with regards to age, just not sure if he'd get much game time here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Evening Standard - Arsenal considering Douglas Luiz. Villa have already turned down a £30m bid from a Premier League team (not Arsenal) for him this window. Related to our search for a Centre Mid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
