WHY Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 Has to start next game from what I saw, looked like Middlesborough only real threat. I actually thought he looked quite sharp compared to the rest of their forward players. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWARLEY2 Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 Theres something about Archer that makes him stand apart from other young strikers. He plays for the team. Always aware of his teammates. Never afraid of taking a shot but only if he is best placed to do so. Fast strong and 2 footed . I just find it so strange he hasnt had a chance under Gerrard and then Emery. But i am a mere fan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 I think he needs 18 months on loan to play regular football and improve. Summer 2024 he'll have 3 years left on his contract and we can see if he's up to fighting for PL place then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will help us find for a new striker in the summer one that doesn't need time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 Had a look on their fan forums and Middlesbrough fans seem to be pleased with him after that game and all want him starting next game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we've him under a long contract and we are earning loan fee's for him given how in demand he is. So I'd go with giving him the 18 months and see how he develops. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Make Pies Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Is it just me or does he look slimmer than six months ago? Maybe he has reduced some of his bulk for more pace. Looked fast against Sunderland at the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So taller / slimmer or both!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 I get the feeling we will sell him this summer. The Duran signing suggests it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villa Gaffa Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 He needs a decent run of games before any decision can be made. He's hardly played this season so far ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laughable Chimp Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 (edited) Can’t help but feel Duran’s arrival has effectively closed the door for him considering he’s 2 years younger and arguably better already. He needs to really hit form with Boro. Edited January 28, 2023 by Laughable Chimp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel he'll be worth 15m by time we sell him. He could surprise us and make it at VP can't ever write anyone off 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, great idea, let's sell one of our hot prospects for peanuts, and then in 2 years time you can moan about us having no strikers coming through and we can look at paying £50m for someone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much you reckon will we get? We could potentially get 20Mil from Him and Davis. + we could sell Philogene, A Ramsey and Finn Azaz and co That's around £30-£40 Million there recouped from our academy to add on to the Grealish and Chukwuemeka money. Impressive stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burchy Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 With Archer he just needs game time and he’ll score. He’s Ings level clinical, has done it at Preston, England and hopefully Boro. If he got consistent game time with Villa he’d come good and bang them in. If we sell him now we’re making a mistake, look at all the championship teams scrabbling for him, multiple coaches see his talent and potential. In another universe imagine him alongside a prime Benteke instead of Gabby or Wiemann! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 Shock horror. He's got some training and minuted under his belt and starts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdman Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 I also think selling would be a mistake. He has alot about him. See how he goes at Boro though. Unai could do wonders for him I think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
