Villa Gaffa Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 We are playing a dangerous game letting all these players leave before the new ones have arrived. If we had the new deals done then they would be announced already ? 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guilbert who also never plays? or just Ings who we have signed another forward and everyone expects another to come through the door? Not very dangerous to me 16 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean a player that doesn’t mind dropping into the gap between the midfield and Watkins. Watkins is better playing off the last man and running the channels. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freeing up wages and getting rid of the deadwood, something we have been very poor at in the past. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything, we haven’t let enough go! I swear some posters think we’re in a European competition playing every other Thursday. We don’t need a big squad. Not get anyway. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaTalk cries every window about why we can't shift deadwood, but when we actually start doing it the complaints start about lack of depth. Glad to see Emery is being ruthless here with the team. Basically telling everyone if you want to go, go (Ings). If I don't think you're good enough to be a part of the team this season (Guilbert, Sanson, Bednarak, Nakamba, etc.) you're out the door as soon as an offer comes in, otherwise you'll continue to not play. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For once, I agree with you! hahaha I think this summer is where the rework will kick into high gear and we see some current starters being sold or dropped to the bench with replacements coming in ahead of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This and the fact he’s given each player an opportunity to prove they’ve improved before leaving. Bar Guilbert and Nakamba they all featured in league games and had and started vs Stevenage which sends a better message to the rest of the squad than just bombing then out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not very dangerous to me I'm talking about the whole transfer window so far. Its good that the players that have left so far are gone. The dangerous part is if the deals for the new players aren't already signed off or agreed and they change their mind about coming to villa, we will be left with no depth. IN - Alex Moreno, Jhon Duran OUT - Guilbert, Ings, Sanson, Bednarak, Archer. I didn't say I was unhappy about the players leaving. At the moment its 2 in and 5 out ! "everyone expects another to come through the door" Does every transfer that fans expect to happen always happen ?

The_Steve Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 We don’t play Leicester until Feb 4. There’s so much time to bring in players still. Trust the process. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst our squad is smaller on paper it’s not as weaker as many seem to be making out. The biggest weakness we have is actually cover for Emi. edit: sorry just realised the post you replied to said the same thing.

My post was based on the actual facts of what has currently happened in the transfer window ! I don't agree with the "no depth" argument... Guilbert wasn't even training with the first team squad - Wasn't even considered a part of the team, TBH Archer needed 1st team footy and minutes to continue his development. Honestly should have never stayed in the 1st team this season to begin with Sanson got more minutes under Emery than Smith and Gerrard combined but even still, he was never considered more than a fringe player Bednarak was a temporary stop gap until Diego Carlos returned to the squad... Barely played for us and Diego Carlos is due back to the 1st team next month, so Bednarak is no longer needed Ings is the only one which I think was not initially planned to be let go this January, but West Ham came in with a good offer and Ings himself asked to leave because he wanted to start more games. Emery decided to let him go and continue to try for someone like Thuram or Dembele this window as a replacement. Otherwise, we'll have to get creative with a loan until this summer when we can go for a striker who really improves us. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KMitch Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 I honestly think we have offers out there to the 1st choice targets right now and we're waiting to hear back from them on their decisions. For example, Marcus Thuram still hasn't moved to another club yet even though he's been "close to signing" for half the clubs in Europe since the World Cup.

Villarocker Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 We will do business. If we don't we will be left an injury or two away from squeaky bum times. But, I trust that those in charge know what they're doing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
