Sounds like Emery has decided given he said that he wants to bring in another striker only last week. That’s unless Emery is sending Duran out on loan next season and bringing Archer back in as third striker. Edited April 10, 2023 by nick76 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need this guy in our squad next season. If we ever find ourselves chasing a goal late on, I can't think of a better player to bring on to nick a goal. He'll finish from any angle. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philosopher Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 20 hours ago, TRO said: It does require games, but games alone, may not be enough...he needs coaching and directing within a team pattern. Look at how Ollie has come on with some top level coaching, he had games, but not the tuition......my suspicion is, Michael Carrick is not at that level yet to guide Cam. Maybe a spell with Vitoria, or come back to have one on ones with Unai. I watched the Middlesbrough Burnley game and I thought Tella was far more lively than Cam, sure a bit older, but much sharper and commited. Cam has around 30 starts in the championship and league Cup put together. He is seriously lacking in experience. He doesn't have one full season of starts in the championship, let alone prem. Coaching is important, but games are key. Picking the right club for him to go on loan to is important, but staying here at Villa won't do him much good if he is not going to get games. Duran still needs to acclimatise to the new country, home, club, footballing culture, as well as the tactics, and style of football. Also his age is such that time is on his side. Plus just his raw physical abilities make him a weapon already. As a result Duran being second or third choice makes the most sense. We are a striker light without Cam, but for Cam to become good enough for Villa, or simply to maximise his sale value, a first team football is essential, and he will struggle to get that here. While we are becoming a possession based team, most of our possession is in our own half, as we look to draw the press, then exploit the space that leaves. So we are also a team that looks to exploit the transitions and similar scenarios. So possession based, or a counter attacking team that plays on the deck will be equally useful for Archer. A manager that has a track record with young players should also be a requirement. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has a big drop in quality the lower you go down the table, more so than the Championship. It probably has more revenue in than Primeria Liga if you exclude European football.

A different style can round his game out more and he'll be playing a higher level of opposition at times like Benfica, Porto, Sporting et al. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the Championship is more competitive. But that doesn’t mean it’s a higher quality than the Portuguese top flight. But even if the bottom teams in Portugal are championship level, playing against the big Portuguese teams and European teams would be more beneficial than playing Rotherham or Hull every other week.

It really isn’t. Championship is very physical and half the teams are void of football.

They’d get much more beneficial training playing for and against teams that pass the ball in tight spaces, something they will need to be able to do if they want to play for us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
