Popular Post Delphinho123 Posted June 1, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 1, 2022 They’re not at all impressed with the Villa links on their forum…here’s my favourite two so far… One bad season from us and you really think our best player who loves the club would be excited by moving to Villa!? Is it because of the incredible managerial prowess of slippy or the fact you’ve blown 25-30m a piece on a few 30 year olds recently?

I do find it odd that they’re convinced we wouldn’t have a chance of getting him. If we can afford it, which we may not be able to without selling Luiz, Targett and one of Ings or Watkins, then we’d get him. We may not have European football, but that didn’t stop Carlos, Kamara and Coutinho joining - two of which are Brazilian. If we want Richarlison and have the means to do the deal, I could see it happening. Personally, I can’t see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaParkAvenue Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 Brentford showed the importance of a good backup keeper this season. When Raya got a long term injury it quickly became clear their nr 2 was nowhere near good enough, and they tried loans and things while falling down the table. Eriksen was obviously the biggest factor for turning their season around but Raya returning was huge too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martinez is managing a long term complaint and with the World Cup coming up, I can foresee that he will prioritise his fitness for Argentina over his fitness for Villa. The Man City game being an example of this, Gerrard said he would have played him, but the medical staff (presumably led by Emi’s own reports of pain) said he wasn’t fit. Yet I still think we’ll see him at this pointless finalissima game. My point being, I agree we need a good number 2 as I think we will see them used more than normal. I would like Foster.

Sulberto21 Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 Back up keeper? Patrick Gunnarsson - our goals will be smaller but a con of getting him would be the fact he’s got previous for getting one of his own players sent off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slovenian Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 no Benni McCarthy link yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalfTimePost Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 (edited) Hickey too expensive is a shame he was £15m the last couple Windows allegedly. Will end up at Arsenal now. Bassey has been quoted at £25m. So will be interesting to see how that fits in with us only really wanting a backup. Anyone got a subscription to see what other youngsters were mentioned?

CVByrne Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 3 minutes ago, PaulMcGrath_5 said: Yeah he basically says we need to look to move on attacking players now before getting a player in. Davis, Traore, Bailey, Ings all open to the right offers. AEG, Trez & Targett need moving on too. I think the club are right about Hickey being too expensive at £20+ for a player who will struggle to get ahead of Digne. This young Sergio Gomez has seriously good attacking stats for Anderlecht. Bissouma might still be a target but won't overpay. Seems like Brighton might wait till late in the window on that to get maximum value and hinder rival clubs a bit.

WallisFrizz Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 Also says we’re unlikely to get Phillips (think we all know that) but we like the idea of taking a top player off a rival. This could all be Gregg daydreaming in his bedroom though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just those three, Hickey now £20m+, Bassey still of interest as can play two positions. Sergio Gomez might be a cheaper option to Bassey. So seems like we're weighing up the cost of Bassey vs Gomez. Says Gerrard wants 3 more signings. A LB, a midfielder and a Forward. Won't overpay for Bissouma now CDM is solved with Kamara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 3 hours ago, Lerner's Driver said: He's being spoken about because he just said he would be happy to be a number 2 at a club like Villa or Arsenal because he could still mentor the younger number 1 at those clubs. Agree re: Olsen, personally it irks me when a keeper doesn't dive and just watches a goal go in, even if it is true that he had no chance of reaching or stopping it. He is close to Cutler as well since they worked together before and recently had separate interviews with him and Emi Could see people criticizing his podcast if results are bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We know from history that Gregg Evans knows very little and he just mugs a living about Villa. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point being if he’s going to prioritise Argentina over Villa (and history would say he is) then we need a reliable back up. That Evans article would suggest we’re set on Olsen.
