If it was a simple choice, Isak or Abraham?

I really wouldn’t know who’s the better player or fit for a team like us?

Tammy!

Should’ve brought him last summer.

I think that type of forward would be a really good fit in our team given what we're going to go with next season and big doubts over our main two CFs in pushing us on.

I like Firmino but he absolutely doesn’t fit into the system we play. Couldn’t be further from it actually. 

Glad I can always count on VT to settle an enquiry for me.

I think some people believe gerrard ultimately wants to replicate Liverpool, in which case firmino would work well, however not so well if we want to implement the dual 10 formation as we likely need someone who makes runs in behind

Define much. He's still scoring at a very good rate for City, he just doesn't play that much for them due to rotation and their wealth of attacking options. He's easily a 10-15 goal player if he was the main man. 

I mean Firmino. He scored nine goals last season.

Imagine Firmino playing in his false 9 role with two 10s behind him. Would just be Digne and Cash overlapping to whip it into the box for...absolutely nobody. 

I'd genuinely like to see Ramsey pushed up at times next season, he makes some clever runs, is reasonably quick and has a decent finish on him.

If we're really signing two CMs then he's going to continue playing at the third attacker but would like him to swop with Buendia for some games.

Talking of Isak, could we tempt him if we sell Ollie? He 'only' has a £64m release clause and if we got a good fee for Ollie then he'd be a great replacement. 

There was talk he was destined for Barca but seems they're going big on Lewandowski now and also have Aubameyang for next season.

Amazed Arsenal haven't gone for him.

I actually think 40m or so would get Isak as he's cooled a bit in terms of scoring recently but so much potential with how he plays. Only issue is he plays for side in Spain who consistently qualifies for europa so would he trade that to go to mid table team?

That's the issue with more ambitious targets that haven't worked with Gerrard before....we'd be a long way down rhe list for someone like Isak.

Watkins

For what? Finishing 11th every season.

In fairness to Ollie if he can score twice v Burnley and get one v Palace he'd have pretty much matched his goal tally from last season in less games and having a poorer general second season at this level.

However his all round game has massively declined for whatever reason. If people think he can massively bounce back next year and fire us to 7th then fair enough but I have my doubts. Even at his best he's simply not that clinical a finisher.

Tammy seems to only get goals when he plays for a dominant team in the league. If he went to a mid table club, he would probably get exposed as pretty average.  Also, Steven is trying to build a high pressing side. Tammy is not giving you the necessary running for 90 minutes a game. Unless he is coming on the cheap, and cool with not starting then I'm going to pass.

who??? Tried Googling this and found nothing

Chico Monteiro was born in Goa in 1918. He refused to take an Indian passport when they annexed Goa. In a court battle over 5 years, despite being represented by the Queen’s personal council he was finally convicted. 
 

Whilst in prison he represented E wing’s 5 a side team and now is of interest to SG as he tries to raise the average age of the team.

Based on what? He’s 24 years old and the last 4 years played for Roma, Chelsea and Villa in the Championship.  You’re surely not basing it on before that?

Probably? But also probably not.  I don’t know even how you are guessing this.

Have you watched him? When he was with us, when he was with Chelsea and now Roma.  Yes not quite at Ollie’s level but not that short of it plus he brings goals.

He would easily start for us, would be the best striker in our squad.

This summer could be amazing. 

The new season starts on the 6th August - so there are only 76 days between Villa Premier League games - and in that time we'll get:

  • New signings and players leaving - including what's almost an expectation that we'll break our transfer record and some really juicy targets being rumoured to come in.
  • A series of friendlies in Australia, starting on the 14th July, plus one at the Bescot and a European one before we go which means we'll be playing friendlies within 7 weeks of the end of the season.
  • A reveal on plans for the North Stand and a timeline for construction.
  • Launch of the new kits - presumably before pre-season games start - so I'd hope they'll be on sale at the end of June.
  • Ground being broken on the new urban academy.

It's a shorter than usual summer and one that could be a real statement one for the club - if we make good signings, it's going to feel like there's something good happening every week.

You missed out going 3 down at Bournemouth within sixty minutes on the opening day.😉
