Bit worried we missed out on Bentancur in Jan, also bid for Bissouma that month and linked a bit with Kalvin Phillips and Gerrard will just conclude he'll stick with existing options now Kamara is in. I think that's a big error for a few reasons unless Luiz and Carney sort their contracts out and even then it dosen't really feel good enough if we want to seriously challenge for europe. Kamara isnt a number 8 neither is bentancur well they may play there now and then but their original position would be number 6 holding. We need a balanced CM asap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should get some of those posts later in the evening. Stated agenda of the club is to sign first team players as as one of the current first team players now becomes a squad player.

CVByrne Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 (edited) Tifo’s Sensible Transfers: Aston Villa – seeking a safe haven for the ball in midfield - The Athletic Quote Our focus, though, is going to be on rounding off the midfield. Kamara will become the deepest player in that unit and he’s the kind of press-resistant passer required in that role. Either side of him, Jacob Ramsey and John McGinn will be the No 8s, with Douglas Luiz another likely to leave the club and Morgan Sanson still a bit of an odd man out. Ball-security would be a nice addition to that group. Ramsey is a phenomenal player in the making and he’ll drive Villa forward with the ball at his feet. There’s also plenty of creativity and ambition ahead of him, with Philippe Coutinho and Emi Buendia. But we’re after a safe haven; someone who can start in, or support the midfield, and improve its passing quality — with any other attributes a welcome bonus. Depending on how ambitious the owners are willing to be, they could take advantage of Georginio Wijnaldum’s tenuous situation at Paris Saint-Germain. PSG are embarking upon a technical and cultural reset at the moment and Wijnaldum, who’ll turn 32 later this year, might be a victim of that. Using smarterscout data, which gives players a rating from 0-99, relating to either how often they do a given action compared with others playing in their position (such as the ball recoveries and interceptions), or how effective they are (such as how well they progress the ball upfield) we can look at Wijnaldum’s quality in each metric. It would be hard to argue with that option: his passing is conservative but reliable, keeping it secure at an exceptional rate (93, as shown in the char below) but also able to move it forwards and link-up quickly with forwards (95) and he possesses a 90 per cent+ completion rate across short and medium distances and in the mid-80 per cent over longer range. He makes an attacking contribution too with his receptions in the opposition box (the blue bars below), so would be eminently sensible. Seems he's available for loan as he has 2 years left at PSG on big wages. I think we should be in the mix for him as we can give him guarantees on playing time he won't get at Champions League clubs and his preference is for a return to the Premier League.

Wijnaldum would be a really good shout. He knows Gerrard from his time at Liverpool. More importantly Stevie G knows where he lives so let's hope he will be inviting himself over for a cupper and 'pulling' Wijnaldum off for afters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wes Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Just now, Rustibrooks said: I’m clinging on to anything at this point Some murmurs that Atletico Madrid need to sell, and rapidly. I would not be surprised if their 21yo left back Manu Sanchez is on our shortlist for that backup position behind Digne. Not as highly rated as Sergio Gomez I would say, but still could be a good understudy. Might see some links thrown together with the likes of Thomas Lemar to Premier League sides too as he only has a year left on his contract. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
