Clearly we were going to start messing about trying to overpay for an injury-prone Liverpool reserve. Sorry for the lad it is a bad one. Not sure an injury can keep us from signing him. Could possibly be an argument to lower the fee to 30m if we’re lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, who is the best and worst from that lot?! Well Kamara and Sangare are the only two in that list who are CDM's the other two are double pivot players who play next to the CDM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's also the youngest. If we can convince him to sign, which we probably can't, he'll be much more valuable in a few years. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still like the look of Bissouma and Phillips. Those two in a double holding pivot with three players in front and one striker would be magic in my opinion. I do struggle with some of the popular names across Europe, purely because I’ve hardly seen them play. Kamara (Marseilles) and Koopmeiners (Atalanta) Both of them can play as centre backs, both play CDM, both are good at passing and you could get both for less than 30 million combined. I practically led a one man campaign last summer to sign Koopmeiners from AZ and he was eventually sold for 11m. My idea would be to play them in a double pivot, if we could get Luiz to sign a new deal he would be perfect to rotate with them as he would be playing next to an actual CDM. They would make us much more defensively solid, got a right and left foot in there, can ping balls from deep with them, Koopmeiners is a captain, they can drop deep into central defence so it is like you have 4 centre backs at times. Honestly it would be perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume this has come from the use of the word ‘entice’ which occasionally makes an appearance. Looking forward to more sexy transfer language emerging: ‘Virile Villa to seduce Mbappe’ ’Villa bat eyelids at stunner’ ‘Gerrard beds transfer target’ ’NSWE whisper into the ear of wonderkid. Supporters aroused’ ‘Villa manager hard on Suarez’ Sherwood getting a facial off Nantes when we signed Veretout was my favourite a few years back! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post jacketspuds Posted May 17, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 17, 2022 If we go after Gomez in the summer I will start to question Gerrard.

Is he injured yet again or just out of favour at Liverpool? He's been around for well over a decade so must be close to 30 now so certainly one to avoid. Promoted team will probably take a chance on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know exactly what we need, in my mind and I feel, I know when we have players playing there, that are not right......finding a player to fit that role is not so easy, for a layman. Isn’t it the managers job to identify type of and sign off on players and isn’t the scouts job to identify players the manager wants ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 I really think Tyler Adams would be a good signing if we're looking for an 8 aswell which you'd assume with Sanson going and McGinn really needing some serious competition. Been consistant for Leipzig for last few seasons in Bundesliga and CL and still only 23. That would be ambitious signing imo. Was going to say he also chips in with goals as remember him scoring v Atletico Madrid in CL....but that's his only goal in last 3 seasons! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
