All I know is the board need to get to spending some serious money, an not spend it on players that might be, although I doubt we can pay the salaries of anyone decent. I really think football success is moving further away for us. Brighton 2 main strikers are free transfer Danny Welbeck and youth prospect Evan Ferguson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He isnt good in the air for a tall guy and his discipline is really poor this season We have Carlos to already play that role, Carlos/Torres combination would be very poor together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is also exceptional with the ball at his feet. Quick and reads the game well. Him ans carlos would make a dynamic cb pairing in my opinion Edited February 5, 2023 by Demitri_C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least according to English fans A fair number of them seen to actually have it too but most grow out of it. Guendouzi was 18 when he went to Arsenal, Aouar is still only 24. But according to gossip he's already agreed to sign for Real Betis. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HalfTimePost Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 I'd like Robin Le Normand from Real Sociedad if we're looking at CBs. Not exactly a ball playing CB (plays 3.3 long balls a game, exactly the same as Mings, though he has a pass completion of 90% which would be the highest of any Villa player) so not sure he'd fit what we're after but he's very good in the air (winning over 70% of aerial duels, as opposed to 60% for Konsa and Mings this year). Playing well in a Sociedad side who are 3rd in the league 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 For me being a ball playing CB doesn't mean that they don't hit long balls, quite the opposite. Even a donkey like Maguire can hit a short pass. It's the medium and long range passing along with being comfortable on the ball that makes a ball playing CB for me.
