This a fan forum to discuss things. If everyone stfu, may as well close the site I'd quite happily read fewer whining posts about players who'd clearly improve the side tbh. There might be quite a lot but I don't you need to abandon ship when there are plenty of other things to talk about. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suppose it depends on opinion whether you think Lo Celso improves the side…some people like me don’t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 Lo Celso would be an OK signing but centre midfield is the strongest part of our team now. I don't think any new signing is replacing Kamara, Luiz and a rejuvenated McGinn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the answer is yes, then fans need to stfu, defer to a man who knows a damn sight more than we do, and cheer him on. Yes but unless Emery signs up to VillaTalk we’re not going to know that until he signs so in the meantime we have to argue between ourselves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam2003 Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 What I’m taking from this thread is that Jimmy Greaves’ international pedigree doesn’t count because injury meant he missed the key part of the 1966 World Cup 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
est1874 Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 Are we saying there's going to be an individual thread here for every player we're credibly linked to? It's going to be a big window with lots of names, even coming from credible sources. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul514 Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 If he is being signed to play central midfield...... I don't see the point? I thought people thought that he was going to be playing one of the Ramsey/McGinn roles? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was @JAMAICAN-VILLAN who posted something really interesting about Emery's views on formations. And I don't think 442 is always his preference, depending on the players/ability levels he has at his disposal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example I would love us to sign Wan Bissaka this summer as a defensive right back, something that we supposedly need for the current system. However moving to a 433 requires someone better going forward, in effect a different player. I thought we were set with this system under emery bar a few tweeks?

AshVilla Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 (edited) Levy probably wants 40 - 50m for him I wouldn't pay more than 15m for him. No deal. Edited May 15, 2023 by AshVilla 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
