It’s the club is a joke, we’re a laughing stock, we could relegated etc type posts that get targeted. A bit of perspective please! Indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t care about the selling Ings part. I totally get why we had to act now even if we don’t land a replacement. Ollie can continue to lead the line with the new lad getting minutes here and there. Worst case maybe Archer can be recalled ? Edited January 19, 2023 by Vive_La_Villa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On thsi basis Ings to WHU is good business for us given he is not quite delivering what we hoped in two seasons, and a dimishing asset. Its also worth remembering that most team top goal scorers are not their strikers/centre forwards these days, just look at the top 20 goals scorers in our division. We need more goals from across the board. I dont expect any of our forwards to score more than 15 goals a season max, but I do expect 3 or 4 players getting or close to getting double figures. We do need a forward who can contribute in areas other than just goals scored, I dont think Ings was doing that. All very sensible... But... imagine the meltdown if Purslow now comes out with a statement that we will use the funds from the Ings transfer to bring in 3 players that together will replace his output 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rustibrooks Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 I don’t know about you guys but I see Dembele as a short term fix until the summer. He would be a good option to have even for next season. Watkins/Duran/Bailey/New striker/ Dembele wouldn’t be bad options to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Emery has anything to prove, at least not to Villa fans. His record speaks for itself. As for Danjuma, I just don't rate him at all. I'd rather see us go and get a statement striker, no more half or ridiculous short term measures. Similar to getting a proper manager instead of the charlatans we've hired at times. Or the many 10-25m players that have just turned out pants and not worth the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a shambles. Interesting wording in the tweet about proven PL striker. Who could we realistically from a rival that would be (relatively) decent value for money? Tobey, Mitrovic? Or would it be someone that has done it in the past but had struggled with injury or poor form? E.g. Martial, Bamford (yuk). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
