Sangaré seems tall and strong, but no guarantee that he is that good defensively and copes with the tempo in the PL. If we want to move up the table I think we need a CM who is both good defensively and is a really good passer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imo the midfield is our weak spot. I wouldn’t want to put too much pressure on Kamara, he’s just made his debut for France, so he must have something about him. Don’t forget about Iroegbunam and Aaron Ramsey too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we interpret tweets how we want to interpret them rather than looking at the bigger picture. He is without doubt the journalist with the most information on our dealings and it sounds to me like he’s saying we’re done. Gerrard saying we’re looking to strengthen the midfield - fine - but I don’t think we’re actively pressing any leads - certainly not until Sanson, Luiz, Traore have left etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did he successfully call the Kamara, Carlos and Augustinsson transfers before anyone else? If he did then fair play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVTuco Posted July 16, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted July 16, 2022 I knew it. We're done. But, that's ok. We have a good squad now, even if no-one else comes in. Time for Steven to show what he can do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, and I think we release information to certain journalists as and when the club wants to get a message across. I could be wrong but I feel like they’ve done that a few times in recent windows. We’re paying the price for a few bad transfers. Bailey, Sanson and Ings are probably taking home a combined £225k a week and cost £70m. You can’t afford too many transfers that don’t work out otherwise you’re stuck, especially in the PL. There are only a handful of clubs across Europe that could offer our players anything near to what they earn here so you have to accept they’re not going to go anywhere. If, and it’s a big If, we can get rid of Sanson, Traore and Luiz doesn’t sign, we may see one more through before the end of the window but I certainly can’t see us signing another striker. We won’t qualify for Europe next season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indigo Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 What Collomosse tweeted and Gerrard said the other day don't necessarily contradict one another to he fair. I think Gerrard - like all of us - would like an 8 of real quality to come in and potentially take Villa up another level, but it's probably not realistic until some space in the squad is cleared up in that area of the pitch.

So we waste a season because we can’t get an 8 in because we have players that will never get minutes are sitting there that we can’t get rid of? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Follyfoot Posted July 16, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted July 16, 2022 If we are done we are done, we have the best squad of players we have had for many a year, last year‘s big signings have not stepped up to the plate and I expect them to this year, that coupled with the new arrivals and young talent puts us in a very good position if the manager manages them properly. If that happens I predict top 8 possibly knocking door on 6th 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These kind of comments never make sense… Transfer windows don’t win games, leagues or cups. if they did, then the season would be over 1st September.. It’s what teams do with what they got that makes the difference. We got some tidy signings, refreshed and reinvigorated players, a new “tactical genius” and a chance to move dougie up the pitch, Things could rapidly change for Villa fortunes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
