Aguero wasn't when Pep first came but he changed his game and that worked out pretty well?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We disagree about Grealish positioning, we disagree on something else and now we disagree on this. We see things differently, I got massively told off last time by the mods for our discussions last time so I’m not arguing with you again. I think Kane is right for Man City, obviously with this bid so does Pep so I’m obviously on the right track. I’ll leave you to debate with others. A certain someone is agreeing with me so maybe I am wrong. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Trippier or TAA - those right backs can play anywhere across midfield don't you know! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but I wouldn’t dismiss it when it goes with many other comments about Villa. I can only go by what his many comments seem to suggest. I can only go by him signing a 5 year contract literally 9 months ago knowing where we currently are as a club. He could’ve stayed on his contract or if he wanted more money, a small contract extension with a hefty pay rise but no he signed a 5 year contract. I can keep going so one comment I agree I could dismiss but many comments, many actions all point in him wanting to stay and being happy at Villa. I think he wants to give Villa enough time to try and he wants to be part of that. If in a couple of years time it isn’t working he’ll still be young enough to move to a CL club like it looks like Kane will this close season. He gave Spurs time but now at his age it’s time to move on. I think Jack will be the same. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly not the last few years. Aguero holds the best GPM ratio on premier league history. Kane is already on a downward trend. He's injury prone and his assists aren't actually that great. He had a purple patch this year for 10 games or so where he got like 10 assists (4 in one game). His passing is honestly not that great except for through balls for son.

I can't see our valuation of him changing much between this summer and next. He's a 100m+ player Unless he notches 30-40 goal contributions next season, which with the way he's been upping his game season on season, I wouldn't put it past him.

Would be such an amazing option for England Last season was only his first season in the Premier League, it is sensible not to rush him and good for us as him not being in the squad won’t alert other clubs to his talents.

He’s inexperienced for a Premier League player, let alone an international one He's much better than Calvert Lewin. Better stats on everything except for 2 goals and 1 fewer aerials won per game. Fewer big chances missed, better creations better dribbling, passing, hold up play. Edited June 22, 2021 by MotoMkali 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

England will benefit from having both of them in the squad in the coming years (after this tournament in Watkins’ case of course) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its only Geeky Gareth who doesnt like him isnt it? If trawling social media has shown me one thing during the Euros, its that all the stick and non-acceptance that he is genuinely one of the best players in the league is just a tribal/rivalry/jealousy thing. Its pretty unanimous now he’s got an England shirt on that he’s this country’s finest player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately he's never in the box anymore. I'm fine with strikers wandering around the pitch, pulling wide or dropping deep to create passing options etc, but Kane seems to rarely actually put himself in goalscoring positions for England these days. It's almost like he's bored of being a striker or something. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
