Perhaps they'll go for someone like Kalinic at Roma. I don't rate their defensive options either. I won't be happy if he gets Marin or Moro! Edit - Throw in livakovic and caleta car too Edited July 22, 2020 by villa4europe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know much about them but seems like they've got a Big job in this summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The knly good thjng is both sets of fans can stop obsessing over us and get on with their own derby as we dont care about either club 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Have to say I don't think Albion are going to struggle as much as is being suggested, they will probably be in the relegation battle but I think they can give staying up a good go, they have a lot of unexciting players but nevertheless ones that will do a steady job in the premier league, they don't need anywhere as many signings as we made last summer, five or six decent ones should give them a good chance.

useless Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Where they might struggle is the style of play that the manager has had them playing, in the championship they've been very much an all out attacking team, but as we've seen with Smith and Farke this year and Jokanović last year with Fulham, try playing like that in the premier league and it doesn't really work, so how well they do might come down to some degree to how much Bilić is prepared to adapt his tactics.

villan-scott Posted July 23, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted July 23, 2020 Can’t wait for them to sign 14 players and be labelled as doing a Fulham! They need major surgery on that squad. I can see them struggling big time in the Premier League as they laboured to promotion in the end too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
