Keyblade Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 3 minutes ago, MaVilla said: a £28m signing in Watkins on the bench?, literally not a chance of that happening, at least be realistic with the lineup m8. I can completely see that lineup though, but with Watkins in Rashicas place. (could almost see Edouard/Watkins being interchangeable during the match......what a joy that would be to watch) I think playing Watkins out wide is just as outlandish as keeping him on the bench tbh. I'm just going by the latest Percy links and if they all come off. Personally, I don't mind either way if we get Eduouard as I like Watkins and hope he's our main striker. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vive_La_Villa Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 On the one hand fans are talking about the owners showing more ambition and then on the other hand they say if we sign a 28 million pound player he has to start. We have to change that mindset and look at the bigger picture. We eventually want two quality players competing for every position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So much stronger, with potential to change the shape without sacrificing quality. Yeah, look at that bench with that £28-33m record signing on it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for Wes returning I agree, I’d rather somebody else than wasting money on King Great re wide but why don’t we add a bit extra and get a proper wide man rather than somebody than can play wide as a second position.

I don't think we will see that level of depth until next season 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villarocker Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Does anyone else agree with me that we need another centre back? If Mings is out we are left with a central defence of Hause and Konsa at best. If Kings and Konsa are both out we are playing Hause and Engels. That is terrifying. For me, we need to buy another centre back who is better than both Engels and Hause. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philosopher Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 King has squad player / last resort signing written all over him. No way is he worth 16m with 1 year left on his contract after being back up to Fraser and Wilson. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mat Kendrick's Dentist Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Hause is Nyland at CB. This seems to be an unpopular opinion among Villa fans, but Konsa wasn't great for a lot of last season either so I'd like a good CB alongside Mings, with Konsa/Engels filling in and getting some game-time to develop 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
