thabucks Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 Add Hermoso and Juan Miranda on frees - sell Moreno, The Donk, Chambers & Hause, then promote and utilise the youth in Kellyman & Co. We need quality not quantity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need quality not quantity. Moreno was instrumental in getting us where we got last season, then got a long term injury, and because he hasn't gotten back to his best yet we are ready to bin him? I sort of get the logic from a business perspective, but if it's purely from a " form " perspective it's a bit harsh imo 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless Emery rings Emery and says hey son, come on over to Villa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digne is the better player IMO and Miranda is 24 and has re-sale value and gives Sousa a season to develop. We cannot be sentimental and he’s not performed well enough for whatever factor but as long as we do not make a PSR / FFP loss on him I’d sell. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaVilla Posted April 1 Author Share Posted April 1 thoughts? (plus any Monchi specials the club wants to add....) All Spanish speakers also......so would fit right in with Emery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkeypuzzle Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 In his last post match interview Pep basically hung Grealish out to dry and put him on the transfer list. Now I wouldn't want to pay anywhere near what they paid for him, but if a fee could be agreed, would people want him back? Personally, if the money is right, I think he would fit in to that LM role perfectly in our system. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't necessarily be overly Spanish focused. Since Unai and Monchi have taken over, only Pau and Moreno are Spanish. Lenglet is from La Liga. Zaniolo (though he's a previous Monchi transfer), Diaby, Rogers, Kosta, Gauci, Tielemans, Sousa are from a variety of backgrounds and leagues.

alreadyexists Posted April 1 VT Supporter Share Posted April 1 Dewsbury-Hall had another good game for LFC today, I would go for him in the summer if it was me. Still young (25) and with a high ceiling, no idea what he would cost. Transfermarkt says £30m but that’s likely just plucked out of the air Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Transfermarkt says £30m but that’s likely just plucked out of the air He'd be interesting see as a ball carrying wide midfielder in Unai's system. But with JJ, Rogers, Bailey, McGinn, potentially Diaby at times - it'd be hard to see where he would fit in. Could play in the double pivot but he's already a light lad as is and the defensive side of his game isn't a forte. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger’s seems to have a higher ceiling (although he plays more advanced that KD-H) I’d say he’s more of a JJ kind of player, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thabucks Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 (edited) We need to up the quality of the first team and don’t see how Dewsbury-Hall elevates us good player that he is. Unrealistically someone like Neves would IMO, that’s the level we should be aiming at. If we make champions league then this summer we need readymade players and not someone who could maybe grow into it. We have brought a few project players recently and now need quality.

He's played a variety of LM/RM/attacking mid for LC. Given the constant injuries every club faces when in multiple competitions, that kind of versatility is priceless (compared to say Diaby or Bailey who can only really play in 1 or 2 positions). I wouldn't be surprised if we were in for him but price will be a big factor I would think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unrealistically someone like Neves would IMO, that’s the level we should be aiming at I think there's certain positions where quality is needed (CDM and fullbacks) but it wouldn't surprise me if we were in for 1 or 2 players like Dewsburry-Hall that can play multiple positions. We've seen this campaign how effective that can be when the injuries and fixture lists start piling up. Edited April 1 by DJBOB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite direct, with excellent positioning, he always seems to be in the right place. It might not translate to PL though were you get less space, more speed and higher quality defence 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
