burchy Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 Are we thinking Bailey plays right or left? Genuine question as I’m thinking a left winger is need but all you lot keep mentioning right wingers instead. Hasn’t Bailey played predominantly RW/RF for us?

Mainly played RW/right inside forward under Gerrard. Has mainly played as a Left wing inside forward striker for Emery tbh, he can play left or right, depending if you want his stronger foot on the outside or inside. So i suppose depending on how Emery see's him, we kinda need the opposite? He has basically played Left(ish) under Emery, which is why ppl are saying a right winger/right inside forward is needed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure we will do well this time round. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HolteExile Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 Aston Villa boss Unai Emery wants to sign two players from Real Madrid - Belgium winger Eden Hazard, 31, and Spain defender Nacho Fernandez, 32.

HolteExile Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 Unless we're offloading Coutinho I don't think we'll be taking a punt that Hazard's fitness is still up to it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not looking to point score but I'm not really seeing evidence that he rates Sanson. Its his 2nd week as manager and he got off the bench last week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought he was just a RWB but he came on the left today so would make sense given Young may retire end of the season and Digne is hitting 30 soon. This Pau Torres link isn't going away, 18 months left on his Villareal deal so you never know although we'll probably need to qualify for europe for him to seriously consider us.

I’d have said the same for Diego Carlos before he came to us. Presuming he heals up okay, a CB pairing of Torres and Carlos could be Melberg - Laursen levels (and no I don’t have a problem with Mings, just commenting on the link). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Difference with Diego is he's coming up to 30 so I imagine it was healthy wage increase at that age that was also very tempting. Torres is mid 20s so different dynamic and he has played for Villareal in CL so once a players gets a taste of that competition they don't want to drop too far down the league table. Get the feeling it might be a bit like Bentancur, we'd make a move but at last minute a Spurs will come in for him who can offer CL and that's difficult to turn down as he's certainly an upgrade on Eric Dier. I've always like Skinrar at Inter Milan, that could be ambitious move we could pull off I reckon as Inter finances aren't great. Tomori at AC Milan might be another option.

Delphinho123 Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 I tell you who's a good player. Moises Caicedo. I watched him closely at the match yesterday and he's a very accomplished player for his age. No way we could afford him but someone is getting a very good player there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duke313 Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 I hope the Hazard rumours are just that, rumours. I want us to sign young and hungry players, not just hungry. Hazard looks like he's had a few extra portions of paella. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A midfield of Kamara, Luiz, Dendoncker and Kessie would be amazing with all four rotating, but not sure we have enough games for that as we aren't in Europe. But we would need to shift Sanson and Nakamba on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
