Hank Scorpio Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 You can't sell something if there isn't a willing buyer. We all know how this goes. Bombed out for 2/3 seasons on loan to Turkey while we pay the vast majority of their wages. It's the repeating cycle of villa and it's signings. Everyone is amazing. Then they sign for villa. Flop. Loaned out until contract expiry as we have ruined their value/careers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mazrim Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 Cash is top of the list for me. Hopeless. Olsen if we can get anybody in. Augustinsson., Chambers... Actually it's easier to say what's right. We have a good young midfield 3 I wouldn't tinker with, bring Tim into that group, completely overhaul the full back and winger positions depth chart and one top striker comes in. Watkins can watch from the bench and work on his finishing. I'd keep Buendia. Digne can fight it out with Moreno. We need a dynamic right back as a priority. Oh and if we got any kind of offer for Phil, take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 Olsen has to be the first. We are one bad Martinez injury away from total disaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

striker Posted January 9, 2023 Visiting Supporter Share Posted January 9, 2023 Luiz, Ramsey, Sanson, Marvellous, Watkins, McGinn, Digne, Olsen, Bailey, Chambers, Dendoncker, Coutinho and Buendia. Cash has also gone downhill. Its a major squad rebuild for Emery. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite all the transfer **** ups. He's not laying the bricks. He's done nothing a competent CEO wouldn't have done with really good funding. He's disappointed really because the first team recruitment is still a mess. Edited January 9, 2023 by Tomaszk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QldVilla Posted January 9, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted January 9, 2023 (Keep) Kamara, Luiz, McGinn, Martinez, Ramsey, Carlos, Mings, Konsa (back up), Ings.... I'm struggling with the rest, maybe Cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the problem, the ones that we need to get rid of the most are those that offer least value for money and are the biggest drain on resources. They are also the ones that we are stuck with because nobody will pay them what we do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delphinho123 Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 I’d love us to be brutal and move Buendia and Bailey on. Both do my f***** head in and they’re both crap. Nobody will buy them though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with this, sadly. Even Carlos position could be at risk going forward depending on how his rehabilitation goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
