Monchi will not be buying from the PL, it's the antithesis to the Villa (Monchi) philosophy. I agree, just hope he finds better than Zaniolo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to see Pau and Konsa as our CB pairing with someone more cool, calm and collected than Cash at RB. No i can’t watch ramsey and zaniolo start on that left side of midfield any longer they are not good enough right now… we need a a RB too nahuel molina hopefully from atletico after that not too fussed. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharkyvilla Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 I thought Wan Bissaka was really good in a Emery right back type role last night. That boat must have sailed now though, he ain't going anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wict01 Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 Right back and another wide forward/striker please. Sacha Boey &.....I dunno. Definitely not Timo Werner as the papers seem to think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROTTERDAM1982 Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 Uni was trying to sign Ugarte apparently, which suggests to me he is after a more robust midfielder to play alongside Kamara. Wouldn't surprise me if we go for Paulinha from Fulham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyVillans Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 Priority list 1. RB (Start ahead of cash and let konsa play CB more) 2. CDM (To challenge kamara) 3. FWD/ST (An experienced alternative to watkins. Possibly means duran goes out on loan) 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRO Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 15 hours ago, DJBOB said: RB high priority. Konsa has played almost every league minute and was completely gassed in the second half against United and he’s a CB. CM is not great but we will hardly see Dendoncker that many times this season. We need Diaby to get firing again so we can move him to the second striker spot and rotate McGinn at CMM. I think Konsa was gassed, because he was having to do too much.....Him and McGinn was looking around, to see who was doing what...and it wasn't a pretty sight.

Rosch Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 5 hours ago, jacketspuds said: I think we're missing the options that Buendia gives us. We need a number 10 that can open up stubborn defences when they sit back. Yeah. Seems we've got scorers who want to net the goal, but not a hold-up playmaker who wants to create it. Ollie is excellent when he's already in motion and has runway. Bailey and Diaby are great when they can breathe. But in traffic, they just can't dig it out and their exterior passes are short ditches which are less about creation than about setting up their own run. Those lovely long passes of Pau's need a target who can receive, protect, and create space before finding the scorer. Buendia's as close as we've got, but he does seem to get knocked off the ball easily. If you don't have Bernardo's feet, you need McGinn's arse. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

United triggered an extension but he's got roughly 18 months left on his deal so will probably be offered around in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJBOB Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 Some RB’s we should have as targets. Some of them are more wingbacks but I would still take them.
