VillaChris Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Just now, Dr_Pangloss said: He's a reasonably effective target man but a shite finisher, striker has to be a priority for them. It's certainly their weak spot imo, Costa, Cavalero etc all tricky players but not regular scorers. Jota scored loads last season but he's more a number 10 in style. Surprised Bonatini's still there as don't think he even scored a goal in the championship after xmas. Guess you can't solve all the issues in one window and they've got an amazing midfield for a promoted team so that can compenstate until January.

Zatman Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Neves is a proper player. After this season he will walk into a top club midfield 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Wish them the best of luck. Despite their fans giving us a bit of aggro last year I still think there is a respect between both clubs unlike boggies and blose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reivax_Villa Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Neves is a top player. Reminds me of Pirlo. He is easily a £70 million player and should be at an elite club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you consider grealish was biasing games in cup semis vs Liverpool as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 they're very different players, neves is a proper CM, he's better IMO but wolves fans are oblivious to what his deal is and whats going to happen to him in the next year or 2, he's signed a new contract and they're flying up the table...means **** all! he shouldnt be there, they're a mere stepping stone, got his foot in the door of english football, being given a star role and every opportunity to show big fish what he's about, he'll be gone the moment city stick £60m on the table, which seeing as they wanted and didnt get jorginho this summer means they are in the market for a CM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neves is on a different planet, there's a massive gap between them when you adjust for position. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember saying after the game against Wolves that if you’d only watched that game, most would think Jack was the player destined for the very top. Not sure if it’s what you’re referring to but I don’t remember anyone saying what you claim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuwabatake Sanjuro Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 I don't know, they aren't great without the ball and are carrying a lot of Championship level players. I think a lot will depend on whether they can extract performances out of Adama Traore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought Wigan would be a tricky game for you, so wonderful three points. You must be happy with your good start after the slow start last season cost you most likely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep but we ain't going up without another defender or striker so let's hope we can use the loan market well this month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it's hatred like blose and boggies Villa vs wolves deserves to be in premier league hopefully it will in few years... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always thought the two kits look awesome on the pitch under flood lights too, and the atmosphere at both games last season was fantastic. It'll happen, you're over the worst of it I think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolves just need to do the same.....my advice to them would be stabilise in the division, and just look at league placing with one eye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
