John Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 The crucial question is he fit and will Heaton be fit within the next couple of weeks. Hopefully we will soon have a clue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let in 6 against Citeh and has looked like a clown post lock down I am not saying that Nyland is the answer in fact I am sure he is not. I am also sure that Steer is not the answer. Not sure how you can be so blasé about the league cup. It has played a major part in our history and was also the last proper trophy that we won. I know because I was there. I suspect you were not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, I totally agree. Our goal keepers have been rubbish for years. Hopefully Tom will come back as good as ever and solve the problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junxs Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Jed is a very good keeper trouble is he just cant stay fit. With 4 keepers on the books it would be crazy to buy one more when there are so many other positions that need sorting. Either we need to sell everyone but Heaton or play them until Heaton is fit. He should be back in a couple of months so don't think we should be spending 15-20% of our budget on yet another keeper I'd start the season with Jed in goal, if he makes a massive mistake/gets injured then bring Nyland in.

We could always loan a keeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep that one he tipped onto the crossbar in the Albion first leg infront of the Holte end was one of the best we've seen from a Villa keeper in recent years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simple catch is stretching it lol, but a more athletic younger keeper is definitely getting to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why I was furious we let Gollini go. I know there was some desire from him to return to Italy but we could have been more decisive in telling him to stick with it and he'll be our number 1 for years. I believe had we stuck by him he would have got us an extra 15 points in the championship in his second season and got us automatic promotion. Then that dream of a literal Rollercoaster ride and theme park would have come true. But on a serious note if he was still here I think he would be worth 10 points a season in the premier League alone. Good keepers are so important. Our next keeper needs to have the all round game. I'd rather wait and go for a really good keeper who has excellent distribution. Germany and Brazil seem to have the best sweeper keepers atm. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he had made it pretty clear that he was not prepared to stick with it. We were therefore left with an unhappy keeper that wanted to be somewhere other than Villa Park. I think the club probably did the right thing for the player, sending him back to Italy on loan, with a view to him returning later, but that loan only seemed to make him more determined to leave. It doesn't often work to keep an under performing player at the club, when he wants to be elsewhere (in our case, at least). Turning back to today, I would go with Heaton and Jed (as number two), assuming Jed will be fit within 3 weeks and Heaton within 6. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 We wouldn't be a PL side without him. I find it bizarre they have so little trust in him. Heaton should be back in a month or 2, we don't need another keeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was unhappy because when he signed for us he made it clear he wanted an Italian goalkeeping coach so he had someone he could speak to. When Bruce came in he fired that coach and brought in a bloke from united. No wonder gollini was pissed off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He only played 11 minutes and was injured and they didn't want to risk a player playing with teammates for the first time in the final 10 games.
