Maybe, but still can see us keeping him, got 1 Yr left on contract I believe, good cover imo, but let's see who else we buy first.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoony Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Maybe we plan to play 3 at the back? If that’s the case 5 CBs would make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reivax_Villa Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 I wonder if we’re going to play three at the back then? if we sign another centre back I cannot see us playing 4 at the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtsimonw Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 We're definitely playing with a back 6, 2 wingers, Jack and Wesley. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think a good championship team would give the likes of Burnley, Brighton , etc a good run for there money. We had some pretty poor teams under Lambert and yet survived - a back 4 of Bennett, Clark, Baker, Vlarr - I think we have better than that already. Without serious reinforcements the squad which got us up last season would not have survived in the PL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are mixing core personality traits with maturity and adapting to social expectations. And if we go back to Dan Crowley he will always be a greedy prick who thinks he is above his station, who will never show any loyalty to this club whether he is 16 26 or 36. In my opinion. Now you may have a different opinion, and that's fine. If people want him to sign that's okey. Personally I think he'd be cancer to this club and exactly what we need to avoid. I learned a long time ago -- probably after I was 16, maybe even when I was 21 or later -- that one shouldn't think in absolutes. To say everybody is who they are at 16 who they will be for the rest of their lives is just as stupid as saying nobody is who they are at 16. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remi Oudin should be the one we sign.. There is a reason Olympiakos sold Engels.. and he only joined Reims a few months ago, it makes you wonder. At 24, he has a very poor injury record. Again, this cannot be true. Edited July 11, 2019 by AvfcRigo82 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loans are an ideal strategy when you don't know what league you'll be in next season. You can bring in a premier league quality player without a significant fee and without being bound to a high wage contract for four or five years. Mings and Tuanzebe are perfect examples. Who cares if we nurtured and developed them - they got us into the Premier League with no risk and at low cost. I'd sooner we did that than take the Tony Xia approach and nearly break FFP rules as we did the seasons before. The fact that Brentford won't take that approach suggests they're happy with their lot and more focused on making profits on their players. Dean Smith seemed more than happy to loan players for us in January and its paid off in spades. GASP!! Do you realise Brentford are the best run club in the world and have a secret formula that nobody can ever find and copy. If it’s the Brentford way it’s the best way. Wash your mouth out with soap young man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 I think French press had this from before we signed Konsa. Large doubt over this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danceoftheshamen Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Loving our business thus far! Is it me or will we have a team of Giants who can also play? Mings, Hause, Targett, Chester, Konsa, Wesley all 6ft + Apparently Björn Engels is also 6'4"? That is some Arial threat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaHatesMe Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 According to his whoscored page, Engels is a very weak tackler and a poor passer. Good in the air, however. https://www.whoscored.com/Players/108493/Show/Björn-Engels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshVilla Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 A defender who is a weak tackler. Just play him up front i guess? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mazrim Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 We wont be playing 3 CBs. We need 2 players for each position. Mings, Konsa, Hause, Engels? Chester cannot be reiled upon. The penny will drop soon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
