This guy or Kamara? Definitely Kamara. He will need this six months to get up to speed if we sign him. Ill-suited to PL football at the moment. He'd have been steamrolled today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted January 22, 2022 Author Share Posted January 22, 2022 It does slightly worry me that their fans aren’t exactly worried about losing him. The last player we signed that the fans hated (Traore) turned out not good enough so hope this doesn’t happen again. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So when he has a bad game, it feels really bad because they never look bothered. Surprised at the link because he certainly isn't the bit of steel we lack in there. He's more of a passer.

Bertrand turned out pretty good been injured this season so it’s impossible to judge his second season improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can’t be as poor as those few Juve fans said, I need a lot more of their fans views to be accepting he’s that poor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your hatred of Traore is bizzare Our two most expensive buys of the summer under Smith were players to replace him on the right hand side. We'll see if Gerrard fancies him but I strongly suspect he won't. Don't care how many goals he scored, I care about Villa goals, not player goals. So yeah, not good enough I'd say.

They're comparing Bentancur to Pirlo, Deschamps, Zidane etc in the same way Man Utd think players like Fred are rubbish because he isnt a reincarnation of Roy Keane or Paul Scholes. If we compare Bentancur to some of the absolute dross we've had in our midfield and even to our current players in that DM area then he is a vast improvement. He'll have his faults, but so do all the current players we love (apart from Martinez of course...). If Steven Gerrard thinks this central midfielder is a good player then Im prepared to take his word on it Would you take Fred at Villa then if we was linked to him?

It’s amazing people forget we literally went and spent £70m on two right sided forwards because the club knew Traore wasn’t good enough. And that was before they knew Grealish was leaving.

PieFacE Posted January 22, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted January 22, 2022 We're not exactly going to be signing players form Juventus that their fans want to keep, are we? I'm sure AC Milan fans were happy when we signed Laursen from them too. Don't know why that transfer came to mind, maybe Italy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
