cyrusr Posted July 25, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted July 25, 2019 18 minutes ago, TRO said: The secret is in the blending and coaching. Sam allardyce's comments on Talk Sport.....for me lacked an understanding of our situation and a specific address to Aston Villa's current needs. Sam talks about signing players c 30 mill, but would they necessarily be better, just because we pay more?Also even if they were, would that calibre of player come to us right now, next season maybe, but right now they would be dubious. Everyone right now, will have varying opinions on our summer buys.....but the essence lies in the blending.....Only Dean knows what he has got right now....We just have to wait and see. It is, but it is also buying the right players. All of these fit a particular model. With the oldest is Jota at 28 years old, it is clear the policy we are going for and trying to produce. This is the long game. The reason I put the figures in and the comparison was to show how much we have moved on in just 3 years, where we have spent twice as much as what the club was worth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Along with Jack, he was the main cornerstone of the team. We are only going to have between 3-5 starters from last season which is going to be hard enough to gel quickly - there is zero chance we'd let McGinn go for any money this window. He will be an integral part of this season - I have absolutely no doubt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jas10 Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 (edited) So great to have a squad full of genuine quality, everyone’s going to have to up their game and be on top form in order to get into the side. No passengers or automatic picks... Plus, we will have options for different games and tactics. Looking forward to the Leipzig game, that Villa side will probably be the closest to our first XI ahead of the Spurs game and give us the best impression of our capabilities against a strong side. Purslow wasn’t messing about when he said we have absolutely no interest in flirting with relegation! What an exciting time to be a Villa fan!

Kbdrum88 Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Strikers here boys https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adebayo_Akinfenwa# Saheed Adebayo Akinfenwa (born 10 May 1982) is an English professional footballerwho plays as a striker for Aston Villa.pp He is known for his physical strength and heavy build which he used to strongarm and intimidate Dean Smith and Christian Purslow into signing him upon hearing Aston Villa were in the market for a striker. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villaglint Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 So it seems like another GK is a given after all the talk this summer of Butland etc. Will it be one more after that so a striker or another RW/FW. Someone who can play both roles or will be buy both? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need for legal case unless disputing rejection that I can see I'm not talking about you specifically but, I don't know why some people are focusing on the legal challenge part of this tweet, when the second half says that a a work permit looks likely?!

jacketspuds Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 I just think we are asking for trouble if we don't sign another striker / inside forward. I can't see Brentford letting both Benrahma and Maupay leave, so we have to be in for one of those. The £31m Leao links are just too much, despite the levels of fapping that it would generate.
