I would be very surprised that Brighton are still picking him if that’s the alleged offence Reports say so. I wasn't there obviously but most are reporting that it is. It is of course alleged and the investigation is ongoing. The more reputable outlets reported that a Brighton player was arrested for alleged sexual assault. The Sun/Marca and outlets of similar ilk named the player. True or not, I wouldn't be looking to sign a player who is currently facing such allegations. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, don't think there aren't women, who actually target footballers and celebrities, for a pay day and some notoriety. I'm not assuming that he is guilty. However there is a very wide spectrum between guilty and innocent, but that discussion is definitely not for the transfer window thread. The above post was in poor taste. Essentially I meant I wouldn't be looking to buy him with the current allegations (allegations which were deemed serious enough to be investigated) hanging around. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's one of the absolute worst things you can accuse someone of. Even if/when they are exonerated, they will always be known as " The rapist " or " The Paedo " etc. If I'm honest, from what I've seen of English tabloids, they can be quite disgusting. They will lead with the " accused headline " in bold, and stuff the exoneration in fine print somewhere in the " article " I genuinely think false accusers should face jail time themselves.

Indigo Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 (edited) Can't profess to know a huge amount about Sosa but feels a weird fit because I know Stuttgart play this extremely specific style of play with a back 3 where their wing backs are essentially wingers. Like if you were to look at his stats it would appear he's immense going forward and comically bad defensively but that is largely due to their style of play/shape. Would be hugely different for him to then play in a back four but I suppose Gerrard does want much of the build up to go through his full backs...

villa4europe Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 Owen Wijndal... Failing that katterbach at koln should be gettable and young enough to not come straight in and demand to start, compete with Targett and eventually overtake him 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 What do we reckon will become of Guibert? Would anyone take Lamptey as backup to Matteus Cateshka? I reckon Lamptey could even possibly be deployed as a winger at times. Only concern about his size though, and we already have a relatively tiny side.

I would take him in a heartbeat but I just don’t think we need him. Hopefully Guilbert can have a new lease of life under Gerrard as I do think there’s a player in there. Assuming funds are limited and given the Jan transfer window is a nightmare, RB would be very very low down my list. Priority for me would be a central midfielder, LB and a centre back (in that order). I rate Targett but we just need competition there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I brought it up, as I saw a social media post, saying he is again having an excellent season at Strasbourg, and is pretty much in the top tier of almost every stat, in the top 5 Leagues in Europe!

Phil Silvers Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 Pau Torres linked from Villareal, apparently SG is a fan, wouldn't be cheap. If this is an indication of the standard he is looking to bring in I'm happy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 Depends what Gerrard wants from the full backs. Seems he dosen't rate Targett going forward from those twitter posts. I'd actually suggest someone like Tagliafico, been at Ajax a few years now and pretty steady although seen him loads for Argentina and he's not the best going forward but good defender and leader. Probably the sort Newcastle will target in January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holy shit there's not a hope in hell that will happen. It's from sport witness, they've never got anything right and this is highly unlikely, therefore there is something to it and is probably happening. One of the things that will have impressed the board during SG's interview is his winning mentality, he will have explained that getting where we want to go needs top players, if he cannot improve existing players to a certain standard then we have to buy it. Maybe NWSE think it's time to get the gold card out and start spending some real money. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
