HKP90 Posted May 30, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted May 30, 2023 So if we did get Asensio, I take it that means no Guendouzi? Isn't he a right sided midfielder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted May 30, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted May 30, 2023 This has the distinct whiff of a classic 'Villa linked, goes to CL club' saga about it. If he was set on joining us and holding talks with us, we wouldn't know about it. The paper talk and signal boosting is at best wrangling for more money to sign, and more likely to flag up the opportunity to fancier names. I'll be astonished if he is wearing our colours come August - he'll be headed to a CL team or a super high prestige club like Milan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 1 minute ago, HKP90 said: So if we did get Asensio, I take it that means no Guendouzi? Isn't he a right sided midfielder? Not at all. Asensio would come here to play the second striker/right sided forward position. That's what he wants to play, and also where he best fits Emery's current system he puts out. Alongside the money and almost guaranteed gametime, it's probably why we have such a good chance of getting him over PSG etc. Guendouzi can play any of the midfield positions. Central and wide. One does not preclude the other. Similiarly, signing Asensio does not mean we wouldn't still be in for Williams, Goncalves, Barnes and others talked about for other forward minded positions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winger/support striker/ Attacking Midfielder. More so competition for Buendia and Bailey. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guendouzi is more competition for CM and LM. Asensio is a forward or RM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect Emery is the only reason he took the call from us in the first place. The money we could offer probably kept the call going. But realistically this is the kind of guy who is going to want to playing for title challengers and elite sides. If we can get him on board, we've pulled off an enormous coup.
