He’s also said we’ve no intention of selling Ings. And personally I just think between Ollie Ings and now archer Gerrard will be content with those options. Centre mid and left back cover are more important imo Didn’t Percy also mention we are interested in a forward position. So a couple of credible journos say we are interested suggests we are. Priority was always a DM but now that’s done it may now be priority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaFaninLondon Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 If Fulham sign Palhinha for €18m I will be seriously annoyed. At that price we should be all over it, pair him with Kamara in midfield with Ramsey/McGinn just ahead of them. After a great start to the window it just seems nothing is really happening at Villa despite still needing reinforcements, all a bit depressing. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said before but NWSE should through £120m and whatever wages he wants at him, plus “the project” story of course. The man would score about 50 goals a season playing all his home games at Villa Park. He bloody loves the place! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of those was Philippe Coutinho to be fair, hardly dull or a forgone conclusion. And we’ve filled two areas of relatively desperate need with potential quality. We’ve only really got one absolute must have to go, in my opinion. Everything else is gravy from there. Signing 7/8 players of the quality we need to push on every summer isn’t sustainable. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hasn’t become a bad player overnight, he looks knackered to me, it’s understandable, he’s been playing regular first team football since he was 16 years old, it’s bound to take it’s toll on his body and consequently his performances on the pitch. I remember fondly his performances when he was on loan at WBA and Everton from Chelsea, he was outstanding, he has proven he can perform in this league in the past in my opinion 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they pay more than £20m for him they've been had. I wish we had somebody with that lack of production on our team. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketspuds Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Maybe we are waiting to see what Chelsea want to do with Gallagher. We are in no rush to bring in more players, especially when the manager is on holiday. I would imagine this will be quiet for another week or so, then we’ll see some movement in terms of inbound players. Priority for now has to be shipping some out if they’re not going to player for us under Gerrard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depressing was the wrong word, but it's definitely quiet/flat/boring. Just no tangible links to anyone at all since we signed Carlos, I hope they don't make the mistake they made last summer of thinking what we have is enough.

useless Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 From what I've read Palhinha is an old fashioned all out defensively minded DM, almost like having another defender that sits in front of the back four, Wolves linked to him as well as a replacement for Neves, but he and Neves are seemingly different kind of players although they both play the No.6 role. From the descriptions he doesn't sound what we need. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
