But I don’t rate him and would prefer to give Feeney his shot over this guy. A loan is acceptable but if we pay money for this guy I would seriously question the transfer strategy. That's fair enough, if he signs then he has my support. Sometimes players need a change and the right team around them to get. Better, this could be 1 of them for me.

Popular Post ferguson1 Posted August 26, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 26, 2022 A lot f us were very underwhelmed by Chambers when he signed and quite honestly he’s been fantastic for us since he arrived. If it is Bednarek then so be it, but let’s judge his performances in a Villa shirt rather than someone else’s. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshVilla Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 1 minute ago, Made In Aston said: Whoever comes in is effectively cover for Hause. I'm pretty sure Mings and Konsa were the first choice pairing when we kept 16 clean sheets two years ago and in the team last season that was comfortably away from relegation. I can't see how signing bednarek would suddenly cause Mings and Konsa to become massively worse than they currently are and send us spiralling into relegation. Your implying that Konsa is still the same as he was two years ago. He has regressed and is our worst defender by a wide margin. We need someone who is an upgrade not a sidegrade or downgrade and Bednarek is not the answer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerrard needs to get more out of the squad but our business in the market this summer is not reflective of the clubs stated ambitions. Yet … you can spin it two ways. You can think the club are content and happy with the squad and the purse strings have been tightened. Or. You can look it another way and that the level of players we are targeting means it will be very difficult and. We won’t settle for second best. Nothing the club has done make me think they are not frantically trying to secure our main targets quietly in the background. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Bednarek comes, he’s not coming from game time at Southampton to sitting on our bench in a World Cup year. He’ll be getting reassurances from Gerrard he’ll get plenty of game time ie starting a lot, otherwise can you see him coming and potentially risking his WC place? Nope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But UEFA rules only effect certain teams, just look at Barca. Billions in debt but still spending like its going out of fashion, while at same time not paying what they owe to other teams and some of there current players. So I believe UEFA rules mean nothing and if they try to use them against any team then if I was them I'd bring up Barca as an example of 1 rule for 1 and 1 for the rest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing the club has done make me think they are not frantically trying to secure our main targets quietly in the background. I think it’s the second one but at the same time we aren’t in the elite teams so we must have a couple of players on the list in several positions and since signing Carlos at the beginning of June, so three months, we haven’t signed a impactful player. I understand your point and I get it but I think it’s an easy excuse if we don’t sign anybody. I’m not a fan of Gerrard but it’s tying one of his hands behind his back with some of the holes in the squad and it’s another season wasted and teams around us move away and big teams running away. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarkowski was " nailed on " Well I suppose it was nailed on in as much as Gerrard went to his house to ask him to sign for us, same as he did with Kamara. Difference is Tarkowski said no!

He told Hause he would get game time just before he signed his new contract. Little did Kortney know it would be 12 months later on loan to Watford!
