Popular Post duke313 Posted August 16, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 16, 2023 Thoughts? Would be a decent option to come in as back up and learn under more experienced players, then eventually overtake them. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably more developed than a Bogarde or Feeney. Then looking long term a successor to a Carlos or Mings. I liked what I saw of him at U21 Euros.

Monkeypuzzle Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 A Man City youth player with no League or cup experience at senior level? He would be at least £20 million by their standard, with a buy back clause. Pass! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offered absolutely nothing and Emery rightfully hooked him. Wouldn't be surprised if he ends up leaving before the deadline I agree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 We need an experienced marshall in to cover Mings for the season. He's not that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nnock1984 Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 There was a guy on Twitter who mentioned Acuna around 5-6 days ago, before anybody else. At the time I thought he was talking rubbish but now he seems worth a follow - anybody know who that was? It was in the same post about Zaniolo and the guy wasn’t a journalist - just a fan.

I guess we should send Luiz back to City then, he had less experience and also had a buy back clause. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously I hope they crash and burn horrifically. Also, every time I see Chelsea on this thread, I keep reading Chiesa. Wishful thinking Unfortunately the latest rumours in Italy are that PSG are looking at signing Chiesa to replace Neymar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think we need an experienced one, we already have couple. We need depth and possibly pacey defender. If we can get a good young one then we’d have done very well.

delboy54 Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 Are Villa sending out signals that they are desperate to buy players to cover injuries or is this part of the grand plan during the Summer, having identified and to bring in new players before the window shuts? Just feels like a slight panic going on, I may be wrong (usually am!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teams don't plan that far ahead with Youth team players. If one of them happens to make it like Grealish, JJ or Chuck it's a bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
