Popular Post PieFacE Posted January 20, 2023 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted January 20, 2023 Fully trust Emery with this one. If reports are true that Emery wanted him at both PSG and Villarreal then he must be very confident in his ability. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
striker Posted January 20, 2023 Visiting Supporter Share Posted January 20, 2023 This would definitely be a good signing for Villa. More clinical than Watkins. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks to have a turn of pace as well, we need a striker and hes Emery's choice. Would have preferred to have brought him before we let Ings go , his price may now suddenly be inflated but it ain't my money. Swings and roundabouts. We don’t sell Ings first and clubs will try to get him for less as he’s effectively a third choice striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biskitt Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 I watch the weekly highlights for Ligue 1 and he seemed to score or contribute every week last season and looked like one of the best players in the league. I've always liked him and if we can get him back to that level for a minimal outlay, it's a no brainer for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was tongue in cheek really….little dig at the ‘YouTube Compilation’ phenomenon However, joking aside I do actually think he would be a good fit and give us something we haven’t really had since CB in regards to profile and apparent strengths. One can hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevonIsAPlaceOnEarth Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Ings out for £15m and Dembele in for potentially £5m would represent excellent business, with Duran picking it up for the next couple of season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshVilla Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 So looking at Dembele's stats in his "good" season. He did score 21 goals but he was also supplied with 40+ chances finishing most from inside the box. Do people really think he's going to come here and get that level of service also in a higher standard of league? I think he will struggle to hit double figures.

I think Emery’s career has been based on finding underperforming players and making them great in his system. I don’t think Dembele is great but I didn’t think Capoue or Foyth or Coquelin were great either and he still turned them into Europa League champions. Fine to think he’s underwhelming but most Emery signings will be. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not about individuals though its making the team better at scoring and creating goals. Look at United with Ronaldo everyone waas focused with feeding Ronaldo everyone else stopped scoring. Its almost echoing at city to a ceartain degree where Arsenal have a forward like that share the workload and goals. Its why Ings was ultimatly shipped out, his team play wasnt what Emery wanted. 3 players with 10 goals is better than one with 15 and a couple with 5. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do people really think he's going to come here and get that level of service also in a higher standard of league? I think he will struggle to hit double figures. In his "good" season. Do the seasons where he scored 32, 16 (less good of course), 23, 24 goals not count, or do we only look at the season where he scored 22 goals? (don't forget he's 26 and has had one bad injury too I think, so missed a fair few games one season). Of course, some of those seasons he was scoring in cups too, but I'm confused, do we not need a striker who scores in cups too? And are you expecting strikers to have a 100% conversion rate or something? Because I'm not sure we'll find one. Conversion rates aren't normally that high a percentage, 25/30%.

Can you explain what these are, I’m not familiar with these. I don’t think Villa partake in cup competition do they? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
