Maybe I'm being a bit ignorant but this guy seems to get touted around everywhere each window but still is playing in a poor league, can he really be that good? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the FIFA generation look at anyone over 27 who's not Linford Christie (Google it) as totally useless. I think he could do a job as cover at CM and would be positive for the dressing room. I'd only be behind it if we could do it on the cheap though Henderson is finished and is struggling in the mighty Saudi Pro League and is also an absolute dickhead we dont need in our squad. I couldnt support him if he signed Dendoncker would probably outpace him as it is 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he’d do well in the premier league but people are just put off with regards to the price that Lille would want for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said earlier entering the last 18 months of his contract so maybe they’ll look to cash in whilst he retains some value. Think he would be a great asset to any team like ours with his pace and obvious quality. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 From the bits I've read and seen from people who've watched him more, they describe him as similar to Ollie, but with a higher ceiling? Jonathan David that is. If true, having two Ollie's would be pretty 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jas10 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Ahem… Quote But Emery, who rejected the chance to sign another striker last January after selling Danny Ings, yesterday claimed to be happy with the existing dynamic up front while also stressing the difficulty of signing a player to compete with Watkins, who has started every league match in 2023.“ Quote To improve on these two strikers, with the circumstances we have, is very, very difficult,” he said. “Who is (the) striker? Tell me names. I am trying to make sense of the circumstances and how we can improve because Ollie Watkins is playing well and improving. “We have another young player who is very good for the management with Ollie because he is progressively getting better, can play when not Watkins and can also play with him. Quote “How we can add another player and manage with the circumstances we have now, is very difficult.” The boss continued: “When I arrived here one year ago his position was in doubt. A lot of people had doubts about Ollie Watkins. "He was working, working, working, was very demanding with himself and now he has ended any doubts about him. "We added one young player, Jhon Duran, but of course he needs time. Quote "We are trying to support and help him. I speak a lot to him because I know it is not easy to add something to improve on Ollie Watkins. "So we are trying to manage the squad but it is very difficult to sign one player who will improve us in these circumstances. It is even more difficult in this transfer window. "Last year for example we were thinking about a lot of things in January but the most important thing we did was to reduce the numbers of the squad. “We were successful with the players we had and now it is the same.” https://www.shropshirestar.com/sport/football/2023/12/30/manager-unai-emery-outlines-aston-villa-transfer-window-difficulty/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's injured or benched most of this season but you think 15m loan to buy deal is great for 27 year old but rubbishing 3 years younger Zaniolo for 10m more( assuming it's more, I've seen less mentioned)after scoring twice recently all comps Edited January 9 by Kiwivillan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
