pintpotvilla Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 Some of the rumours of Villa players leaving are hilarious. The London press are best at it. Martinez and Watkins to Chelsea, Luiz to Spurs or Arsenal coupled with Kamara to Liverpool. All utterly ridiculous suggestions! It shows they are now very worried about little Villa!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We coped ok when he was out for a while. The only real priceless players now are Martinez and Watkins. We need better cover for both.

We’ve currently got cover for Kamara. Not Ollie. At the moment Ollie is more important to us than Kamara in my opinion. Last season we even saw proof of this.

There's simply nobody, arguably not a single player, that we could realiatically get that could come in and do a better job.

Zero7 Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 I really like Kamara, think he breaks up the play very well and also reads the game. However I watched the first half yesterday and whilst it's only a pre-season game, he was by far our worst performer on the pitched, looks miles off (yes yes I know it's what preseason is for). He dispossessed so easily and just goes to ground looking for a free kick. Who is our natural backup player in this area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dendoncker who imo is OK, keeps it simpler, less risk but obviously less reward too, get the ball give the ball 5 to 10 yards at a time, perfectly capable of it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knutserov13 Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 The club will not entertain bids for Kamara. The only chance he will go to Liverpool is if there is a release clause in his contract. I sure as hell hope not. Hes a Rolls Royce midfielder that will only get better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's good for him to try and have these mistakes in a preseason. Glad we gifted them goals and not won the game. I slept so wasn't able to watch, but I was worried for us to lose in bad way, or to win it at anycase. I wanted more mistakes from us mixed with good things to add on. Which all happened. Hopefully he'll be ready once the season start. It's also good that Newcastle might think he's a weak link as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other thing is we'd hope for once to keep our spine of the team once we're moving in the right direction and had the huge step. Last time Grealish left we had to build again. Just see what can we do now, then next season we can see who to transfer and who to keep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knutserov13 Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 I do think hes probably one that we'll have to sell down the line due to FFP. With him coming on a free and selling on for a big fee should do wonders with FFP. I dont want to sell him (I just want to add), but I do see that as a possibilty next summer or the summer after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinRichardsonsMoustache Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 He's the difference between us getting comfortably in the top six or being an also-ran. We've struggled for so long to find a player who can play that role. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd cut my holiday short, fly home and pack for him for that. Obscene money for a player of his ability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
