skarroki Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 has anyone discussed Antonio? Think he'd fit our style well, good striker that's also good at drifting wide. Injury problems of course but we have the indestructible Watkins and Duran ready to feature occasionally. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swapping Ings for Antonio would be peak Villa. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People look at the wording used by the manager and come to a conclusion that we may not sign anyone else. Wether you consider that a good thing or not is a matter of personal opinion. Any idea where I can get a business hammock? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will be a bit light but i guess it makes us ready for the summer. Exactly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dubbs Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 We always get moody when we don't sign someone every other day but that's not how we do business anymore. No more squad fillers, just players who will improve the first team. And when we do sign someone it'll be a name we've hardly (if at all) been linked to. Keep the faith guys 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Brazilian club have wanted to bring him back to his homeland in January. But the 30-year-old will continue with Aston Villa until at least the end of the season. Corinthians are expected to maintain their interest into the summer transfer window. Their president Duilio Monteiro Alves recently stated “the desire is there, but it is a very difficult deal to do”. Coutinho is still contracted at Villa until 2026. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The results seem to be secondary. Once a player signs, he is forgotten about and people move onto the next position that needs 'upgrading'. No interest in seeing existing players improve or being coached better. Just need that hit of a signing like a skag head needs his fix. Apologies for the dramatic post - been a tough day! 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just need that hit of a signing like a skag head needs his fix. Apologies for the dramatic post - been a tough day! I understand your point and while some fans might be like that, I’m not. I see weaknesses in the team that have been there and we’ve all complained about for almost 2 years now and those issues mostly haven’t gone away. Emery is an elite coach and making us play above our level at the moment imo after that clown Gerrard. Emery’s coaching is superb but then there are limits to it with the quality of players we have and we have seen some of those. This window is an opportunity to add quality and/or options for Emery to use. We are 3 points from a European place, however unlikely the chance we have of it. So it’s not about buying a player for the sake of it. It’s not about getting the current squad playing better or not giving them a chance. It’s about addressing weaknesses and adding options for Emery, in this opportunity we have called the transfer window. If no more transfers then that’s fine, it’s a missed opportunity in my mind but sometimes deals don’t happen but we then go forward with the second half of the season and see what we can do.

The Fun Factory Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 I understand we need to wait for the right players to bring in (and god knows we have failed in that in past) but they did seem a sudden rush to trim the squad so I did expect a couple of new signings. Still plenty of time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes more sense to try and get a tune out of him than take a huge loss at the minute as the squad is light on attackers as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
