Hence tiny sample and toughest games Here is the whoscored summary for Otavio, which includes domestic games. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romano obviously has no clue whatsoever who Gerrard does or doesn't like as a player. Gallagher good player, but not worth the money we'd need to spend IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philosopher Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 4 hours ago, striker said: See my above post while Soucek was constantly mentioned by pundits as being a very good player in season 20-21. Last season he’s apparently had a major fall out with the manager which can happen. Statistics can be very misleading as there are so many variables to each stat. We’ve all seen how moneyball systems can fall flat on it’s face! I tend to judge players with my eyes and Soucek is the type of powerful physical midfield player Villa have been lacking. That's strange as I see a powerful, but slow and cumbersome player that finishes well but passes poorly! Definitely not what we need. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I then came across a couple of Podcasts, articles and breakdowns which actually make him seem more like a very versatile EMI Buendia. Can play all across midfield /forward areas, tenacious, defensive pressure etc and technically good. He's a bit of a midget though lol. Sorry: " Little person " Young and Downing were both good defensively in a 442, but I wouldn't have wanted them playing as 8's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post jacketspuds Posted June 27, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 27, 2022 (edited) I look at Soucek and I just feel that he was the sort of player Fellaini was for Everton under Moyes. Great for aerial duels, but stick him in a team that wants to play and he goes to shit. Definitely not the athletic CM that we need.

Mazrim Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 I really like the look of Otavio. He looks like a Coutinho clone that's more suited to play CM. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomC Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 5 hours ago, Zatman said: Its a financially doped league yes but last time I checked no English teams won any of the 3 Euro trophies which is an indication of league strength Real Madrid has won 5 of the last 9 Champions Leagues...but has won the Spanish League in only 3 of those 9 years. In the old days, they wouldn't even have qualified for the CL to win it 5 times. They're a cup team; they get up for the big games but can't sustain it over a season. If they were playing in England, they'd have won a bunch of FA Cups but not many PLs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would imagine we were never interested in Richarlison and it’s Gabriel Barbosa that we are looking at if we are actually after a Brazilian striker.

Marka Ragnos Posted June 27, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted June 27, 2022 (edited) Not always sure if it's more Taty's skills or disorganized defenses at times, but he does seem dangerous. He's very cool-headed. He had 22 last year. But it's sounding like he may go to Leeds. I promise -- my last Castellanos post!

danceoftheshamen Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 I can see Gerrards idea clearly now..... It's to sign all the small players and have such a low centre of gravity that the opposition will have no clue how to get the ball off us with it being the equivalent of inbetween foot level & head level much of the time. So we head it about & win loads of hand balls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
