Delphinho123 Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 If we sign Wilson and Watkins, I’d get rid of 2 of Wesley/Samatta/Davis. Loan, sale, anything. Would be amazing if we could sell Wesley for 20m+ but can’t see anyone coming in for him. None of our strikers are good enough. Wilson and Watkins would be a massive upgrade but there’s no point signing good strikers if they have no service. It’s massively important we sign 2 quality, creative players to play alongside Grealish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would think we were Arsenal or something. 7 minutes against Montenegro when winning 5:1 14 minutes against Bulgaria when winning 6:0 45 minutes against Switzerland in Nations League 3rd place play off 79 minutes in a friendly against USA - in which he scored. That career is a bit more Lee Hendrie than Wayne Rooney tbh. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Sell Samatta and Wesley. Send Davis on loan and i'd be very happy heading into the new season with Wilson and Watkins as our striker options 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or be willing to pay the quoted fee if they were? The reality is, what the club are after and what you think they are are two different stories. Your guessing, they aren't. The point is we SHOULD make those bids, I'm not guessing we are signing them just that we should have. Aarons for a reported 4 million more than Cash..... no brainer.

I think this is the first time in 2 years he hasn't been called up to the national team. He's an international. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope the medical is thorough! Was it Micah Richards where we signed him but couldn’t get insurance cover for his knee issues so he he sat around for the duration of his contract not playing instead of being cut loose? A ton of people have brought his ACL tears, but it should be a non-factor. Athletes completely recover from ACL tears now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KMitch Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Going to guess all this sudden activity means we've moved on from haggling over the top targets or they've turned the opportunity to come to Villa down... Now we're on to the next targets on our list and they're more interested in the move. GK - Sergio Romero instead of Perin RB - Cash instead of Trippier Winger - ??? instead of Rashica Striker - Wilson instead of Watkins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if you're being called up consistently to the national team over period of 2+ years, then you're considered an international. International squads are big, and when there's a player like Harry Kane ahead of you, you're hardly going to get many minutes are you? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted September 2, 2020 Author Share Posted September 2, 2020 Without knowing Lange and what he's like I'd say that non of the players linked so far seem like his suggestions. It's just players already in the country, already established to a point or from newly relegated teams or our managers previous team. All of them are pretty much what I'd call lazy links if they were in the press. Are we lazy as a club or just not attractive to players abroad.

Popular Post DCJonah Posted September 2, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 2, 2020 Our current fit strikers scored 1 goal between then in nearly half a season Wilson could get double figures in this villa team. I think people need to get it into their heads that we aren't jumping to top 6 next year. We need to move up a few places and be safe earlier. That's it. The signings being made will help us achieve that imo. 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
