Get McGinn back on the right and get an alternative to Bailey. Job done. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aston_Villan4 Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 Just now, The_Steve said: Aaron Ramsey can play out wide but let's do a random loan instead. He has a decent scoring record, but it feels like someone we don't massively need either. They clearly must feel he isn’t ready though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Farlz Posted August 13, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 13, 2023 This is a good signing. Delivers numbers to go with his hard work, something our current wingers do not do. English and from Leeds so he's been written off as shit already Pleased with this. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dillon66 Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 Has anyone taken note of the fact that he's actually supposed to be out until September with an ongoing injury ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted August 13, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted August 13, 2023 As others have said, this is about how Unai wants to play - if anything it looks like Bailey has lost Unais confidence. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAuthority Posted August 13, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted August 13, 2023 1 minute ago, UpTheVilla26 said: To be fair, I've just had a Google of him and his stats. Not half bad. What I like most is people seem to say he works hard, something Buendia gave us. He obviously lacks the technical ability of Emi but as a squad addition, he will be very useful. Also, he's played in the Prem, so won't need to 'adjust'. Exactly all this 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaParkAvenue Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 Wouldn’t be too happy for us to pay a big fee, but as a loan to provide cover it’s perfectly fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaVilla Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 he's better than Bailey overall imo, works hard too, not a flashy signing, but he is decent technically, puts himself about and works hard, would be a good squad player for sure. He wont displace Ramsey, Diaby, McGinn (when he's finally fit), but more than passable and competent as a squad player along with Philogene and Bailey.

useless Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 Harrison end product isn't as good as Barnes' but he has a much better workrate, plus Harrison will be more of a squad option, Barnes wouldn't come to us to sit on the bench and we wouldn't have paid the £40m for that.

jacketspuds Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 Unai spoke to him directly and convinced him to join. Ok, I’m sold. If Emery will go that far to try to nab a signing at the last minute then he must be better than I think he is. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 12 minutes ago, villan95 said: Was excellent a couple of seasons ago but went off the boil a little bit. Maybe Unai thinks he can recapture it. He was effective under Biesla's style of basketball matches. Very much less so in Jesse Marsch's formation without much width so don't really see him being that effective. Seems injuries have spooked us and we're suddenly falling into the trap of signing squad players to be starters when we need to be signing top level players who can push inconsistent players to the bench e.g. Diaby obviously would've benched Bailey but for the injuries we've had in last month.

Although, wouldnt be happy if this was instead of Zaniolo, i hope we are after both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
