Captain_Townsend Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 One of the villa podcasts had hinted we were considering a bid that came in for Carlos. This is one of the reasons I was cursing our luck yesterday. With FFP we prob need to get someone off the books to get in a player we want. But now we absolutely need Carlos to cover Mings while he is out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adams would be a good signing if Dendoncker left. We really need to trim the squad a bit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thabucks Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 After watching both our midfield and Tonali yesterday I’d be on the phone to Sociedad and paying Martin Zubimendi release clause… Zaniolo loan to buy option and see from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkeypuzzle Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 (edited) One third of our senior players (including Philogene-Bidace, Archer, Iroegbunam and Duran) are currently injured. 9 out of 28 (that's including Hause and Davis). We are struggling with injuries right now so page 911 seems to be the place to mention this! Mings, Hause, Moreno, Dendoncker, Iroegbunam, Traore, Buendia, Ramsey and Duran all out at the moment.

Sure doesn’t ever seem like it… After your criticism of Luiz…. It’s hard to take much of what you say all that seriously. A midfielders are great.. one bad performance or result doesn’t change that… Leagues ahead of whatever Everton have to offer… No problem but I am very proud to say that I am a Villa fan. In fact wanting the best for your team or teams is a sure sign that you care and no team or player should be above fan criticism. The debate is about opinion and I will continue to voice that opinion while accepting other’s who think differently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Villa’s midfield is so great then why have Villa been without a trophy for many years now? OK. How about - Tielemans only signed this summer. Kind of difficult for him to help us win things before he joined. Kamara only signed last summer. Again kind of difficult for him to help us win things from another country. Ramsey - only really broke into the team properly last season (i.e. first time he's looked like a first team player rather than a young prospect). Dougas Luiz was being played in the wrong position and with little / no support. That meant he had few options on the ball and was outnumbered off the ball. McGinn - see Doug. But he also wasn't told often enough what he was doing wrong / not doing. As he has said himself - Emery has told him exactly what he needs him to do. He's a much better player as a result. Ultimately, the main difference is balance. Emery has given us a better balance in midfield that allows each of the players to play to the strengths and for the midfield to be better than the sum of its parts. Unfortunately, yesterday we lost the midfield battle to another team with a very good midfield. That will happen every now and again. As it did to Newcastle last time they came to Villa Park. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VILLAMARV Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 We haven't replaced Young and we sent KKH out on loan for the season. The plus side for me is the only real sniffs we've had about an incoming RB have been good players - I'm thinking Meunier and Montiel. But we need a RB in ASAP imo. Not bringing in another body at CB between now and the end of the window would mean quite a few minutes for Chambers over the seaon and I can't see that ending well if I'm honest. Him and Hause leaving and another body through the door would be ideal really at this point. Carlos staying fit just became crucial. If Digne is happy to hang around that saves us the trouble of finding a new LB but if reports are to be believed he might yet be off and we need another LB all of a sudden Mental really, this time last week I thought we were a RB away from the most solid defensive unit we've seen in many a year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thabucks Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 If do look to replace Mings with another LCB then David Hancko is a beast of a player … https://fbref.com/en/players/4fac8f81/scout/365_m2/David-Hancko-Scouting-Report Or if we’re just looking to add another CB as Carlos play play either side then Josip Sutalo from Dinamo Zagreb is an upgrade on Konsa and Is destined to join a big European club - been linked to Ajax & Arsenal this summer. Neither would break the bank. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I know, you've said already, but in the post you're quoting there I was talking about getting another RB in and Mings's injury making him 4th choice CB again - where he's played the majority of games for us I think. I've said in the Chambers thread I think he's a nice guy and been a shrewd signing. I just don't see him and Cash as options propelling us towards European Qualification or the Conference League Trophy and I'm not sure him as second string CB will work out in the cups Extra utility guy? sure, but I'm not sure we can afford that luxury, Dignes wages dont pay themselves and etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither would break the bank. What we'd need to replace is his physical presence as well as his organisational skills. Hancko's numbers for aerial duels, blocks, clearances etc. are very low. He doesn't look like a suitable replacement whatsoever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
