useless Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 I think we can take it as a given that we will be sging a right-back it's the most obvious thing ever. Chambers will probably go if someone comes in with an offer regardless of whether we sign a right-back or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have brought in millions in overinflated fees this summer. Gallagher might be going for 40-50m!! Yeah but one bad season out of 5 wont deplete the value yet. If it was 5 years of flopping than id expect their prices to go down. We had one top 7 season cant expect squad to go up in value just yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be an awkward reunion with Matija Sarkic after Villa (and presumably Cutler) decided he wasn't good enough for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marka Ragnos Posted July 31, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted July 31, 2023 (edited) Genuinely confused about why we'd ever be interested in Ferran Torres. Is there some parallel universe where he's scored lots of goals? I'd even favor the overrated Felix over him. What am I missing here? We still have a glaring lack of a second keeper option. There is utterly no question that's what we should be sorting urgently. We have a glut of strikers, midfielders and CBs. We could probably use a fast RB. Why are ****-ing around with striker talk?

He might not look that good in a Man City or Barcelona team, and he might not be the best attacker in Europe… but for Aston Villa he’s a coup, we’d probably be punching up to get him, and he’d improve our squad massively. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cutler seemed to do well here but I think Unai having his own GK coach (Javi Garcia) is important for the way he wants the goalkeepers to play. Cutler did work with Olsen for around 10 months too. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWARLEY2 Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 Just like Felix Emery seems to have had him on his radar from day 1. If he sees something in him then i trust his judgement. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a good move to change the backroom staff after the progress we've made in less than 12 months under Unai 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barcelona is desperate to move Torres on, that means that it could be possible to get him on the cheap. It have been reported is that Torres want to stay in Spain, so most likely he would stay and try to fight for his place. If we sign Torres or Felix it would improve our attack and possible we would score more goals, if that enough to cover over the lack of depth in the GK and RB positions, is maybe questionable.

Hey, you may be right. But where's the evidence? That's all I'm after. We need evidence, don't we? Just because someone played for Barça or Man City -- I know you realise -- surely isn't enough. We're not silly enough to fall for that sort of brand allure, I know. Not saying he might not be great, but I'm not seeing any persuasive arguments for Ferran Torres other than where he played and that Emery apparently admires him.

obanken Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 I think we have come a long way when we are discussing about our reserve keeper being our weak link. There always seem to be a fall guy amongst the fans though, but I’m sure it’s like that at all clubs. The fans want their team to improve and changing a player is an easy solution.
