Edit- not on permanent contracts Another loan would be fine if we’re up. You can’t build a whole team at once but you can have some loans while trying to scout who would be replacing those. The worrying is to lose the likes of Jack and McGin who we can’t find the same quality easily. Actually we might not be able to attract anyone like them here. Well we got McGin in the first place but it won’t always happen this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its just finding them and blending them that has so far eluded us in the last 10 years. We need a good young Argentinian/Brazillian in the middle, they usually have a bit of guile and nous.

sidcow Posted February 13, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted February 13, 2019 Gone worryingly quiet one his injury. Assume he's still a long way off. Further than he himself thought anyway when posting his countdown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously you never quite know if they will work out but when you think that Buendia and McGinn would form the start of a pretty good midfield for anyone and the pair of them cost roughly what we have paid Richards & Lansbury to sit on their arses for a year 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merson08 Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 The lad I sit next to at work is a Norwich fan and he reckons it all comes down to Farke. Some very astute signings and his use of the youth players has made Norwich this good. Its a culmination of players that has clicked with youth of Cantwell, Buendia, Aarons and Lewis mixed well with the experienced pros of Krul, Vrancic, Pukki, Hernandez and Klose. Ugh even contemplating how many would get into the Villa team would be depressing. Still Grealish would out do them all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For every Buendia, Pukki or McGinn you can get 5 or 6 versions of Tonev or Helenius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, he seems to be a very good judge of a player and how they fit into his team. Norwich are impressive as a whole, not sure about the same players if they were scattered around at different clubs though? This type of team building works well at the lower levels I think. In a similar way to Wagner at Huddersfield, the premier league may well be his undoing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've recently signed an 18 year old called William Hondermarck from Drogheda in Ireland. My brother in law is the chairman of Drogheda, and says he's one of the brightest prospects he's ever seen.

a m ole Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 So important to us it’s painful that he’ll be off. Remember when he wasn’t doing enough and should have been dropped? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We also need to be in a situation where our season doesn't go to shit because he's injured. He's been great for us but there's no reason why we can't sell him and improve as a result, just like Norwich have done after losing some of their best players of late. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt this will happen. A few months ago, the presence of Grealish made us look like a competent team. He manages to make up for the inadequacies of the rest of the squad by terrifying the opponents and making acres of space. Even **** Hourihane looked alright. We'll get a few slightly less shite versions of players we already have, but there's no replacing Jack. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a player we are well and truly missing, granted....should we go to this level tonight without him, I am not so sure.....you can't allow your game( as a player) to disintegrate even with your best player missing....you dig in.

Wainy316 Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Now the season is over maybe it's better if he doesn't play meaning he slips under the radar and no one buys him. Then we can have one last push for promotion with him next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaJ100 Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 I think he'll want to leave after this year, I think it was ill stay one more and if we get promoted I'll stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
