Demitri_C Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 Think we have had bad luck with Scandinavian keepers. Enkleman nyland and now olsen. Only sorensen was decent that i acn think of in my lifetime. With a keeper, i fail to believe there is not better no 2s than him. All you need is someone that can do more than shot stop to be better than olsen as thats all he seems to be capable of. Id try go for Dubravka he ia a decent keeper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhan_Zhuang Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 If Villa are top four in January I think we will really kick on... Players will be keen to be part of the project and I think we could attract a real top player in January. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I doubt Newcastle would let Dubravka go considering he's their no.2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJBOB Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 A RB is a must for January. I would like either one of a CM or a left-sided attacker but the chances there are slim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pongo Waring Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 Most of the signings I would make in Jan would be potential. Signing the new Douglas Luiz is important. Someone with potential to control a game. 18-22 year old ideally. When Luiz isn't playing we lack that. Doesn't have to be the finished article yet and doesn't mind being a squad player. Upgrade on Dendonker but I think Tim Iroegbunam could be that. So maybe wait on that. Younger talented RB also important. Someone with big potential in a few years to be better than Cash. We can ease him in for now. Spain seem to have a load of this players. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young GK and RB with high potential who are happy to play second fiddle for a season or so, but who can do a job, and a CM who is at or around first team level who is comfortable on the ball with great distribution. I think the CM and RB need some pace too, as we are lacking a bit in that department, especially given our high line.

Tielemans is the backup to Luiz, people might not be bought into him yet (and I definitely get that after Everton) but thats the role he's been brought in to do. I dont think that is a role we will be looking at filling, though I get your point that the team drops several levels without Luiz in it. Hopefully Tielemans can get up to speed in time. Didnt think he was all bad last night, few sloppy moments but plenty of good mixed in with the bad at least. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
