We need to be careful and not confuse the cost of something with its true value. we have been canny with our purchases and hopefully still have money in the bank. some of Villa’s best players have not been big ticket buys. McGrath, Withe, Platt & Yorke ( plenty more examples) onwards & upwards! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeroy Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 If we were to sign Acuna and Montiel as our full backs, we'd potentially have three World Cup winners in our starting 11. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thabucks Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Ernest Nuamah is a player we should be looking at for sure IMO… Versatile and can play acruss the front 3 with room to develop and should be easily attainable. Quote FC Nordsjaelland’s talent factory has delivered once again. The Danish club that brought the world Kamaldeen Sulemana (Southampton), Mohammed Kudus (Ajax) and Andreas Schjelderup (Benfica) is one of Scandinavia’s top talent producers, mainly thanks to their great connections in Africa… The 19-year-old Ghanaian is a multi-functional forward, having played on the left, right and through the middle https://theanalyst.com/eu/2023/06/ernest-nuamah-the-danish-superligas-next-star/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't quite get those valuations. I do think Johnson is a more well rounded player but the other argument would be that Johnson has proven himself in the Premier League whereas Archer hasn't. I think if Archer isn't going to play regularly here then I would like to see him go to a Sheff Utd/Luton type team and get 30 PL matches under his belt and then we can make a proper judgement on him.

Yeah, I get that. but Archer hasn't proved he can't score in the premier league either. Its just unfortunate, for him, we don't see our way clear of proving it one way or the other.

Yeah that's how I see it too, which is why I think a sale (to a PL club) with a buy back might be best for all 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thabucks Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 Josip Stanisic Croatian international at Bayern is reportedly available and can play RB/LB/CB and with Pavard now reported to be staying he won’t get much of a look in this season. https://bulinews.com/news/18353/bayern-updates-pavard-stay-stanisic-allowed-leave-sky Quote With Pavard set to stay, one of his teammates could now be on the move, as the German media outlet also claim that Josip Stanisic has been told he's free to go. According to Sky Germany, the Croatian defender has already held talks with a number of clubs from England and Germany, with Bayer Leverkusen and Eintracht Frankfurt said to be interested. https://fbref.com/en/players/7ed08d5c/scout/365_m1/Josip-Stanisic-Scouting-Report Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
