Can see him coming back and going straight back out on loan or be sold. It will be interesting to see what happens with Duran in the Summer. I think he could leave, which means we’ll either need Archer or have to buy a back up. That said, I do think Rogers could be a monster of a striker. His ability to spin a defender under pressure could be lethal up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alakagom Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 So the recent reports were saying we'd be looking for another winger, seems like Leeds are out of automatics and will have a hard time in playoffs, we've already been linked with Summerville last season, wouldn't be surprised we come back if they don't go up.

MotoMkali Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 It's an odd we haven't really heard reporting about any full backs or CDMs. Obviously signing attackers is more exciting but what we really need is those 3 positions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serbian kid was starting in CL matches already (and did a great job vs City) though been injured for long time, must be thinking he's gonna get up and running quite quickly. But yea bit of a surprise regardless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it's odd, since Unai came in signings have been made on the down low, we barely hear anything and then bam signing done. I think that with Monchi here now, targets will have been identified and we will go about our business as quietly as possible. We are in a new era now, we don't **** about and I for one am happy about. Gone are the days of us being linked with every possible player looking for a move and then being disappointed when inevitably they don't sign for us. I feel very confident we will sign one if not two new fullbacks, if the deals can be done without having our pants pulled down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seems to have done nothing at spurs because he keeps getting dropped for no apparent reason after a pretty good performance. Emery, having worked with him and extolled his virtues before, seems to know he's a brilliant player. If we go back in for him, I trust that it's because Emery thinks he'll improve our squad, and Monchi thinks we'll be able to get him for a relatively decent price. If we dont sign him, then fair enough, but if we do it's because he'll be a good value addition to our squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lo Celso is a superbly gifted player, technically exactly the type of player Emery seems to love. Im not really saying we should or shouldnt be in for him as a squad player, but he is technically superb and i have personally thought he has looked very good whenever i have seen him play for spurs. maybe he is inconsistent and not overly good at times, dunno, but when i have seen him, he is very easy on the eye. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyClarke Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 (edited) Summerville's price would be interesting particularly as Villa were watching him aged 16. At the same time as Ryan Gravenburch and Amadou Onana. 3 good pick ups they would have been but times were a bit different then.

abdulaziz1 Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 I’d really like to come to this thread, after we secure CL. As before that it’s almost like last year when we discuss while not knowing if we’re going to Europe or not. However, I still think that Championship is a better market than Premier League. It’s tough to get the better players from the PL apart from loans or free ones (which usually doesn’t happen for good ones). But we seem to get a good one each season, Kamara and Tielemans for now. Hopefully Hermosi for this summer. I won’t say no to a loan for a DM, that would give us more space for fullback or a LW. I think it will be interesting, Dendonker, Coutinho, Chambers, Zaniolo and Lenglet if all left and wages are freed up, that would give a good chance to start getting hopefully better value.

And also, it's April, and while that doesn't mean we're not active, it does mean newspapers and websites aren't falling over themselves in a rush to publish literally anything they can think of ("Villa target full back prospect who feeds beefburgers to SWANS") under an EXCLUSIVE banner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 (edited) If we can qualify for the Champions League I think we can get Nico Williams. He'd be a huge asset for us and I think Emery wants us to be less predictable and more flexible in terms of which side is the attacking FB and winger combination. So not always going LB and RW we could go RB and LW. Williams is great with both feet but generally considered right footed and we've got just 2 left footed wingers in the squad. Summerville would be a good alternative. We need that right footed winger who loves dribbling and has high sucessful take ons Edited April 27 by CVByrne 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn’t play regularly at Villarreal the 2 seasons before that, so it’s not only at Spurs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep definitely a different player as I think when he has played for Spurs which he didn’t much he was bang average. 7 hours ago, MaVilla said: maybe he is inconsistent and not overly good at times, dunno, but when i have seen him, he is very easy on the eye. He would not be ahead of any midfielder we currently have at the club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 We only need one attacking player and that's a right footed winger. We need another Central Midfielder (I think possibly a player on loan or we could try for Ndidi on a free as Emery will return him to his best). We also need another LCB who can play LB who has similar skillset to Pau in ball progression. So Nico Williams, Ndidi and Hermoso would be perfect. Two in on a free transfer.
