I'm not sure you actually understand what a strawman is. Anyway, to your point (such that it is) - I thought you were moaning about the lack of signings. What do you think is going on then? enlighten us....... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: I wonder if Zimbabwe have a player called Calmness Personified in their ranks? This will be our line up v spurs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know what he'd cost or what his wages would be, but he's a good player I’d take him, just the kind of player we need 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smith has never bought, as far as I am aware, players at the wrong end of their career and it has worked for him on a significantly lower budget than his rivals. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8pints Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 (edited) To be fair @pete101, Sneezy has some power behind him and a nose for goal. Are the seven dwarfs brothers or just colleagues on a house share?

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 (edited) Right, so been accompanying my lady to "House sit" and take care of her friends dogs while she is out of town. Decided to play their FIFA 15 in Manager mode with Villa of course. Few things stand out: Signed Kongolo to play at Left Back - BEAST, playing at Left back and developing quickly. Trying to sign Mings - Bournemouth won't let him go as "They have just signed him from Ipswich and have no interest in letting him go" Wesley - Bought him at 18 and he doesn't even have a face, not developing quickly enough for my liking however I'm guessing much was not known about him. Scores for fun in my team though as I'm ace at it (Playing on Amateur mode) And my British based scout has just recommended me to have a look at Scott Hogan . Signed Ruben Neves and Jota. Bare in mind this is 2015 so I still had the likes of Lescott, Sinclair, Gabby, Nzogbia, etc, whom I've quickly flogged. Kept Okore though! Trying to sign the better players we have been linked with.

I can see what you're saying but Smith hasn't done it -yet- in the Premier league and it might be a bit different there. He may need some Premier league experience to go with the youth!

Poor example In my excuse I read and posted within a squat 1RM break, which almost made me shit myself. Sorry for stupid. I just found it weird to argue against moaning at lack of signings, then present a sarcastic scenario nobody would ever believe. Obviously we're doing work, but if we're going into the pre-season without 4-5 more signings of outfield players, then I don't think we're working hard enough.

He may need some Premier league experience to go with the youth! Heaton ticks the boxes for me and I would also get Kieran Gibbs who I'm sure I read could be had for £3m. Both have bags of PL experience and would cost £8m combined compared to the £30m for linked equivalents leaving us money to deploy elsewhere. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
