pintpotvilla Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 9 minutes ago, VillaFaninLondon said: So quiet at the moment, no wonder people are restless because we still need 2 maybe 3 first team players and there are no links except to Bale which I am expecting and hoping to be complete bull. I see Manure fans planned to stage a protest at the CEO's house yesterday due to lack of transfer activity, they're similar to Everton fans. I think we still need four new signings, with 2 or 3 to go into the first team: CB (sell Hause and maybe even Mings although I know many won't like that) LB CM FW My picks would be any of the following: CB (left footed) - Ake, Botman, Lisandro Martinez (the last 2 linked heavily with Newcastle and Arsenal) LB - Merlin, Gomez or Hickey CM - Gallagher, Auoar, Koopmeiners, Sangare, Majer ST - David, Guedes If the club think we can go into next season with what we currently have, we'll do well to finish top 10 IMO. Those are the type of signings that can push us on to top 7 which is where we need to be next season. Bit worried about your choice for a striker. I think David Geddis may be past his best now 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No deal unless it’s a low transfer fee with add ons and pay as you play deal. I'm not doubting he's a quality player but is he really what we need? Unless McGinn was to leave that is.

VillaFaninLondon Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 2 minutes ago, duke313 said: I don’t think we need a CB, unless it’s someone like Bassey who can play LB or CB. Four CBs should be enough. Mings, Carlos, Konsa, Chambers. Presumably Hause will leave. If Bassey was available for 10-15m then yes, but Rangers are living in cloud cuckoo land and want 25m+ which is ridiculous for a player who's had one good season and not played outside Scotland. For me, I think we're at a stage where we could potentially upgrade Mings given what is currently available on the market and think we should pounce despite what Mings has done for us. Mings' contract is also up in 2024 so we could potentially get some decent dough for him if we cash in now. Just my opinion. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post VillaFaninLondon Posted June 19, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 19, 2022 Ox would be a pointless signing and is injury prone, getting on, and not actually very good. Hopefully more rubbish talk. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveAV1 Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 1 hour ago, Vive_La_Villa said: It seems good when it comes off but it’s actually the kind of transfer approach we did in Lerners later years. Great until we see them play. In our present situation we have two experienced PL goal scorers. Ok last season was disappointing but I think we were still 8th highest goal scorers. Our problems are well documented, we have already addressed that to some extent and seem to be keen to do more. For strikers we already have an extremely promising academy player and have just signed another in Rory Wilson. We can add in, the still virtually unknown, potential “new signing”, Leon Bailey. Brighton struggled for goals last season and have just spent £9m on a risky prospect. Their strength last season was ball retention but they’ve just sold their strongest midfielder for I’d imagine a disappointing fee. I think our approach is different, the investment starts younger, is bigger and gives more chance of finding true first team players or players that will bring reinvestment value in the market.

Agreed, although some think (including me) we need to improve the starting XI in the number 8 roles, McGinn and Ramsey are possibly Gerrards favourite players. More likely to go for a depth signing he trusts more than Sanson/Luiz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An 18 year old Paraguayan kid vs a16 year old Scottish kid but it’s not the same. Can’t see that the Paraguayan league is that good after doing some research on it just Or do you want to compare him to 20 year old Cameron Archer? Essentially we’ve just brought a young Scottish kid for peanuts with massive potential and they’ve spent a bundle on a South American kid with massive potential, certainly scope there for comparison. Odds are we have the better deal. Edited June 19, 2022 by nick76 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
