We are a bit small and lightweight in certain areas. Really no idea who we are actually targeting for out wide but 1 or 2 of Rashica, Benrahma & Buendia would be akin to a dream signing for us at this stage. There are other options though (if only Deulofeu wasn’t injured) and I’m hoping our scouts have identified some targets of at least that quality... I would love Delufeou here and I agree it's a shame. Abeloma Lookman was rumoured to be looking to leave RB Leipzig during this window and would be available for around £22m. (AMR) Another player I think would do well with us. Edited September 8, 2020 by AvfcRigo82 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's good but I'd prefer another wide attacker based in Germany 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KenjiOgiwara Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 We just don't need Benrahma methinks. We need a winger but not him. We already got one ball hugger in Grealish. Let a 5 a side team buy Benrahma. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to balance Grealish on the left with a completely different type of right winger. More Allbrighton'esque. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's stupid money then I would hope we looked elsewhere, as much as it would be a shame to break the partnership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 More pace the better for me out wide. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaVilla Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 (edited) tbh i wasnt initially sold on King, but he does seem fairly versatile, seems reasonably skilful, fairly strong and reasonably pacey, might actually be a good addition. The Bournemouth fans seem to think hes a better all round player than Wilson. (but also more....erratic?) With Watkins also being quite versatile, might be decent to have Grealish, Watkins and King as the front 3, although i still feel like we need another winger like Benrahma, Buendia, Cantwell etc. We badly need an MC though, i hope we have a deal close.

I think they quoted something like £20m up front with £5m if we stay up, £5m if he scores at any time during his contract, £5m if they don't get promoted during his contract and a brand new training academy 2 miles from their new shiny stadium. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrong wing position. Likes to hug the ball and we need pace and directness, if not a little athleticism.

If we're talking the AMR position then there are definately more options around. Rashica, Lookman, Buendia amongst others.

Popular Post Okonokos Posted September 8, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 8, 2020 We definitely need a direct, pacey wide attacking player. Someone who will pick the ball up and immediately look to move forward with pace. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveAV1 Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Has Benrahma got pace? I don’t get the impression he has from the little I’ve seen and from what people have said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
