We really need to look in the Argentine league. cannot agree more strongly with this. there is a ton of untapped quality in both the Argentine & Brazilian leagues, we have to get better at scouting these leagues for high quality youngsters who have the ability to make an impact with the first team squad. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What we may gain in possession, we lose too much from set-pieces IMO. Ty is massive for us. if we are going with our current lineup, I think it would be Torres in for Konsa, which would probably be harsh on Ezri. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leaving Carlos on the bench? I know he’s injured now but in the future leave him out in favour of Mings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burchy Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 Didn’t Emi suggest both Enzo Fernandez and Alvarez when he first joined Villa. I think he’s also mentioned Almada too, perhaps we need to have him on an agent retainer or something as he can obviously pick em. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
messi11 Posted November 26, 2022 Author Share Posted November 26, 2022 Brighton picked up another young argentine player highly rated recently Brazil youngsters are getting expensive. Should look elsewhere like Argentina, Ecuador, Japan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burchy Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 I quite like Alan Velasco at FC Dallas, crazy LW dribbling skills but a bit light weight. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to believe Carlos is better, but until I see it, Mings is one of the first names on the teamsheet. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burchy Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 My pick of the Argentinians/Brazilians (that aren’t already going to Chelsea/PSG/Madrid) Matheus Nascimento (De Paula)*, Alejo Véliz, Marcos Leonardo*, Angelo Gabriel, Yuri Alberto, Carlos Albarez*, Facundo Farias, Gianlucca Prestianni * picks of the bunch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sanson and Nakamba could easily be moved out in that month, McGinn probably more likely in the summer as he has still started two of Emery's three in charge so far. Even with Tim coming back next season that still gives us scope for one more midfielder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even with Tim coming back next season that still gives us scope for one more midfielder. tbf i think McGinn only started the second league game as Bailey and Watkins were sick, so the players had to be juggled. I think if that hadnt happened, he would have only started the B Team run-out in the cup. I agree that he wont be sold in jan tho. not sure i can see us offloading nakamba for a fee, and i can only see Sanson as a loan, as again, who is going to pay the wages he is on with us permanently when he hasnt played hardly in the last 2 years?

I’m no expert but isn’t it harder to get work permits unless they play for their national sides? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea. It’s why there aren’t any youngsters which come straight to the UK from those leagues. They nearly always go via Spain, or even Italy, i think. The only one I can think of who has come straight over in recent times is Alvarez at City. Edited November 27, 2022 by Tayls 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thabucks Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 Work permit rules are different now and it is easier to sign players from South America than previously, and more difficult to sign them from Scandinavia for example. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that mean Schjelderup is a no go then? I think he has two U21 caps but mainly plays for Norways U19 side at the minute, does that count?

Didn’t Kayky do that as well with City too or did they do a weird sort of loan with him with one of their sister clubs to get around the loop holes?

Roony Bardghji might be possible since he plays for FCK in Europe and I think that gives you extra credits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why we need to get our satellite clubs set up, and links with other clubs to get these players into the Villa machine so when ready we can bring them into our PL team. The likes of the Las Vegas team will help once set up. Edited November 27, 2022 by nick76 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
