Either we're about to completely change our style which makes the whole of pre-season a joke. Or we're signing a player for big money that has no role to play in our team. Either way, it makes little sense. We're a circus, simple as that. This is the Ings signing all over again. "Oh shit, the fans aren't happy, buy someone, anyone". Purslow, the owners. They haven't got a **** clue what they're doing, it's just throw money at it, and when it fails, it's the fans who'll pick up the pieces of a broken club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villabromsgrove Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 I'm strangely relieved now that Percy has spoken. It's not all about Ismaila though .... I asked my daughter to get me something alcoholic from Iceland when she went freezer shopping earlier, and she came back with a large jug of "Old Rosie"! I can recommend it to all of you out there who are feeling 'Villa stress' !!!!!! UTV 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ejvilla Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 The last winger we signed from Watford worked out okay. Doesn't fit the way we have been playing, but we might be playing that way due to lack of options. Bailey and Traore were not Gerrard signings, and neither have looked top 10 quality. Few moments of magic, but inconsistent and weak. Hopeful on this one. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarr is an excellent player by anyone’s standards and I am glad to see him join the squad. It just seems like petulance to criticise the signing because you don’t like the manager. I agree that we shouldn’t criticise a signing because of the manager. What I would say though is that some of the criticism is because we don’t actually need him as much as other areas of the team. Most notably a CM and possibly a CB. However, I’d much rather have Sarr in the squad than not as he can cause problems that most of our other players can’t.

Genuine question as I don’t know much about his strengths In any normal team he'd be a right winger. In our team I guess he'd play as a striker? or a 10? I don't even now what we try and do anymore really so... unsure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Out of interest, do people who've seen him play much think he's a noticeable upgrade on Traore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genuine question as I don’t know much about his strengths He’s not a midfielder. He’s played across the front but his primarily a right winger. The same way Bailey is a right winger. No real clue how he’ll be used outside of rotation with Bailey. They could push Bailey to the left but that’s not his best position either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely nothing to worry about when our manager feels the need to rethink their playstyle 3 games into the season. The man's a joke, but you go down with the ship if you insist.
