He will have money to spend, no doubt. And though Targett played OK on Saturday, he'll need to be amazing from here on in to balance how poor he's been. We need a new left back regardless as there's only Young and centre halves to fill in, even if Targett keeps his place. Ideally, we need two full backs, and so why not better ones than we have? Then let them fight it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would take 50m + though. That is sort of statement signing that would get others sitting up and taking notice anyway. Imagine the meltdown when we sign a 50 mill Left back, and no CM/CDM Would be " The most Villa thing to do " 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 Thing is, we definitely have good enough fringe players, to be able to generate funds towards, or to cover at least 1 top player IMO. We need less these days, just pure quality injection. If we could get a couple more players the levels of Martinez in a their respective positions, we are flying . 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Left footed. He turned down a move to Spurs in the summer (he was their preferred target) as he wanted Champions League football. Spurs got Romero on loan last minute instead with an option to buy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every great team seems to have top class spine and I could see him investing heavily in a Torres,, a new Steve Gerrard, I think Ollie and Emi1 complete a great spine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barisic is supposed to be pretty crap. KWP is right footed, so not the best choice if we're going for overlapping fbs crossing in. Henry is a decent player, but I'm not convinced he's that much better than Targett. If we go for a new LB I think it would have to be someone at a different level to any of our current fbs.

People are blinded currently by United's woeful form. Fact is that he's class and had an unbelievable season in 20/21. Still only 26 as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Silvers Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 Not for me, not consistent enough, plus we do not have someone of the magnitude of slabhead to play along side him, he's fat and foolish 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KWP has done well on the left to date, this season nevertheless, and could offer cover for both back positions. I agree that we would likely need to set a higher bar for any new signing, and for that reason, I doubt we are currently in the market to replace Targett. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is not a rampaging full back like Robertson or Tierney. He gets forward purely because Rangers usually had the ball far up the field most of the time. He was pretty solid defensively. Nothing startling. His main attribute is his wand of a left foot. Fantastic delivery even on the run without taking touch. Croatian international with good number of caps. Maybe there is better out there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 Wonder if we'll go for Hickey in the Summer? There has been quite a few links but I've not seen much of him. We basically need the left back version of Mateusz Cash. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
