thunderball Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Everyone is talking about “a difficult market”, it is seemingly slow, and I have to,assume that we need to off load a few before we move again? interesting we have no loans at the moment. With Wesley, Trez, Philogene-Bidace and Aziz confirmed outs, I would guess we would want to sell or at worst loan out: Davis, Guilbert, El Ghazi, Hause and possibly Nakamba and Traore before we add. In this case Ashley Young looks an odd signing unless we see him as joining the Management team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Made In Aston Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 23 minutes ago, Vive_La_Villa said: Why isn’t this getting more discussion. Old Villan has been around here forever! Would a midfield of Kamara, Sangare, McGinn work well? We had three main midfield problems last season- a lack of a quality defensive player who could tackle and Intercept, an inability to keep possession under pressure and limited passing vision. Kamara improves those three areas to some degree, but I think a genuine defensive midfielder, without as many limitations as Nakamba, would provide a better foundation for defense and attack. Sangare could be that player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would send a shiver down my spine! He will probably end up at Everton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maqroll Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 8 hours ago, WallisFrizz said: Whilst the info is believable, it’s so very dependent on the conditions of player sales and contract situations. We haven’t sold any midfielders and looks like we’re keeping Luiz (which is good). I just don’t see us bringing in another midfielder as much as I’d like us to. McGinn being appointed captain is the writing on the wall. And Ings being given the #9 as well. No more signings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet you £5 payable to VillaTalk that we make at least one more first team squad signing before the end of the transfer window, 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So along with being a winger it’s also seen as a second striker position similar to a No.10 but yeah No.7 is a winger for traditionalists. Number 7 is the second best player in the team, after number 10. Everyone who has ever played footy knows that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was always 11 and again I was definitely the best player in our team and won my Player of the Season award every season. Now we just need another nine players and we'll have a class team! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately it would be a monumental gamble for anyone to assume that they could keep him in that form for a full season. Because his form for the rest of his stay was dreadful. Certainly nowhere near the level needed to drop Couts or Emi2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
