Ability to get round someone in no at all space is really good. As is playing so many games at such a young age. I don't think we need him particularly. Probably too similar to Buendia. We wouldn't lose money on him though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post paul514 Posted April 20 Popular Post Share Posted April 20 4 hours ago, CVByrne said: I think we need a backup for Torres ala Lenglet. For the LCB progressive passer given how frequently we play with 3 CBs we need 5 at the club. Even more so I think we'll see Pau at LB like we see Konsa at RB allows us to invert our attack and have the RB play as a RW CDM is key, we need someone there. I wouldn't rule out an experienced loan option as we have used the loan market well and Emery and Minchi have a track record of using it. A loan would not block the pathway for Tim and allow him more time to progress Mings 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Konsa is better in the middle but we miss Mings so much at set pieces we just need him back in the team. You need to post more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grantholtgolazo Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 For me, Moreno’s defending doesn’t inspire much confidence & seems many are assuming Digne goes, if that’s the case who’s the option matching up defensively against champions league quality wingers? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LW/SS: To challenge Leon and Moussa, whilst buendia and ramsey get back up to speed. Kimmich covers the first 2, extend Digne’s contract does the third, Jack the forth, and I think we can get Abraham on the cheap, from Roma. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why on earth would we extend Digne's massive contract? When you have two 'older players' for a position you get rid of one for a younger option. It should be Digne due to wage and the fact Emery brought in Moreno. Kimmich........Not happening. Jack.......Not happening. Abraham, you may well be correct but who are you getting rid of?

villa4europe Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 I'm not sure what signing araham would achieve, he's 26 now, coming off 2 poor years at Rome including a bad injury, would still be circa £20m and would be let's say a 4 year deal on £100k+ per week I can see an argument for him being better than what Duran is right now but by the end of his contract he wouldn't be Just don't see it as a forward thinking transfer, it's an easy safe transfer that ultimately wouldn't get us anywhere - and I think it's villa fans that constantly link us to him because the striker pool is so small right now he's just an easy name that we all know - personally I'm OK with Duran being back up but if we were insistent on getting say a 22 year old proper number 9 with bags of potential I don't know who that is, if it was a goal scoring wide man or number 10 I could shout some names out but a number 9 I haven't got a clue, and that's the only reason Abrahams name pops up, not because he's realistic or good enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you’re underestimating talent elsewhere, but setting that aside, who is going to defend against the better premier league wingers? Moreno, if he’s capable of returning to form of last season, can be effective going forward, but he’s not quick enough, big enough, or strong enough to defend consistently at our level.

CVByrne Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 16 hours ago, paul514 said: Mings Mings is a completely different profile of player to Torres. Mings is a ball winner, defensive CB while Torres is a progressive passer attack minded CB. They're perfect profile to play together. If we lost Torres to injury we'd lack his skillset once Lenglet returns to Barcelona. I think Torres Mings Konsa Frimpong is like the idea back 4 Moreno Torres Carlos Konsa another option. That type of symmetry 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allani Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 I am not sure that we'd be able to give him the playing time he wanted (but hopefully we will have a big European football carrot to wave in his face) but I think Solanke would enjoy playing in an Emery team. Would give us a bit more aerial threat against teams that play really deep. I'm not sure that Rogers and Duran couldn't fill the hole eventually but Solanke would slot in almost immediately. I'm sure Solanke will probably want to be a guaranteed starter but if we could persuade him that he'd get enough time for us and also get some minutes in Europe then it might be a good option. It is crazy that he's not even in the discussion for a place in the England squad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marka Ragnos Posted April 21 VT Supporter Share Posted April 21 (edited) Speaking generally, I think we need to get past the idea of thinking of “who is best?” in this or that position, and think always about pairs of players. We absolutely will need two superbos for every position. Edited April 21 by Marka Ragnos 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
