useless Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 I've only just read the Telegraph article but given how a lot of the reaction is almost as if it's a done deal, I was surprised to see that it says we're unsure about his wages and whether at his age he can cope with the Premier League, and his preference is to stay in Spain. If anything the story makes it seem less likely to happen than happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God help us...... For me, it's more about us having more pressing issues around the pitch vs. forwards vs. thinking Ings/Watkins will be better with other areas strengthened vs. money. lol I think the past season was sort of a " false " representation of what Ings is capable of, and we already own him. I'm not for a second insinuating that they are better than Suarez, however I also haven't seen Suarez play for ages and he's 35. I leave it up to the board and Management judgement though obviously. I'll be happy with whatever decision they make on this. Edited May 28, 2022 by JAMAICAN-VILLAN 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't really know why people are acting as if it's done considering there's zero evidence of it. Edited May 28, 2022 by PieFacE 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post messi11 Posted May 28, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 28, 2022 I'm surprised Villa fans are turning their up noses over signing Suarez Man United are allowed Cavani and Ronaldo. AC Milan are allowed 40 year old Zlatan Ibrahimovic to fire them to their first league title for decades. Yet Villa fans don't want Luis Suarez one of the great strikers of our generation who still Uruguay star man. 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My gut feeling this morning is that given how quickly they've moved so far, if this was gonna get done, it'd have already been announced. My opinion is Suarez will not sign for Villa. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indigo Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 (edited) I think folk are getting too hung up on just lumping players together based on age and removing all other context. Just because Cavani or whoever made the move and was alright doesn't mean it'll work in other cases and vice versa. Suarez was a phenomenal player and no doubt still has heaps of quality in terms of his finishing and so forth, but I'd more than have reservations about a guy who by all accounts has largely lost his legs at La Liga level, never mind a completely more physically rigorous league such as the Premier League. Carlos and Kamara are signings that level us up in their respective areas of the pitch, I'm not sure Suarez is capable of doing so over the course of a season at this stage in his career as much as at one point he was comfortably better than Watkins and Ings combined.

I reckon we might actually be exploring other opportunities, and he might be a backup option lower down the pecking order if we can't get a couple of targets for whatever reason.

Keinan has scored one goal in the PL and Archer is still very young, I don’t think either can be compared with Suarez even at 34. I believe if he did come in and we sold Ings, then Archer would get plenty of opportunities and a hell of a striker to learn from. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P.S. we’ve been linked to other strikers such as Johnathan David, who I know nothing about other than some quick Google reading. On that basis he’s brilliant and we should immediately sign him!
