They’re barely a vague afterthought to what we consider as “rivals” They don't have any closer local rivals, we signed a load of their best players (Dublin, Boateng, Hadji) and relegated them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indigo Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 Of the three signings made thus far under Emery you've got 1) Duran who by all accounts was more of a Lange/scouting department choice 2) a left back in Moreno that many were surprised to see us linked to in the first place given Villa already having two senior players in that position and had supposed more pressing needs elsewhere in the squad to address, and 3) Tielemans, who so many were writing off as a "lazy link" that was apparently never going to happen. I don't really get why folk are so confident about exactly what Emery and Monchi are going to want and not want in this window when there's such a limited sample size of track record at the club to work with. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This! We don’t have a real clue who we are after…and people asserting assumptions as fact might be left with egg on their face over the coming months. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a little odd, but he’s a very young player with a high ceiling, so low risk for potentially a high reward. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RicRic Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 (edited) Quick question lets say we do sign Pau Torres what happens with Carlos and Konsa ( assuming mingsy keeps his spot) i don’t see konsa and carlos both as bench players so it does appear unsettling in some regard. As centre back positions are not areas that you swap and change regularly despite the extra competitions you are in.

Jono62 Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 If we do sign him, there is most likely to be rotation, plus Konsa could play the right back role. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could make two of them starting in cups and Europe. As the season goes those who showed better form will start more regularly. For now Mings and Konsa are doing great so let’s see how things goes.

He doesn't score as much because he doesn't take as many shots. Has shown anything in the Premier League for the money and wages he will warrant.
