VillaAlex Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 Again watching Bissouma, if we have the cash I'd make him a priority target. He'd transform our midfield. If we can find someone cheaper, even better, although I suspect he may have stronger suitors. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieZ Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 There's nothing in this but "here's a player I'd like to see with us", but Valencia's Yunus Musah is comfortable out wide or in central midfield, tidy on the ball, and full of running. A prospect at just 18, he's already worked his way into the U.S. midfield alongside Tyler Adams and Weston McKennie. I imagine Valencia has big plans for him, but he's not getting a lot of minutes with them at the moment. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul514 Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 Loft is-cheek is a fine player but the injuries are a worry as are the wages. He would be cheap to purchase Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazrim Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 I wanted Loftus Cheek more than Barkley but he's got a skeleton made of stickle bricks. Not like Barkley is iron man either tbf. We don't need either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 (edited) Apparently IFK Norrköping is negotiating with a PL club about selling Isak Bergmann-Johannesson. They are asking between £4.5m-£6m which is a lot for such a young guy but still pretty much nothing to a PL side. Really hope it's us but have a feeling it might be Leicester or perhaps West Ham who they've done business with before. Kid is going to be a great player if he doesn't pick up injuries. Edit: According to rumors it's Wolves Edited April 5, 2021 by sne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joey Gudjonsson aka the sledgehammer's kid? Ha! Born locally - it'd be like coming home for him. Like a salmon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, that's the one. Only just turned 18 but he plays with the maturity of someone 10 years older. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll be interesting to see how his career pans out. I'm sure Lange and his scouting team will be running the rule over him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaVilla Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 Our 3 biggest requirements for me, are: Right Winger/Inside forward. Attacking midfielder (no.10), or a Left Winger if Jack is moved to no.10. Defensive Midfield General (no.6) After that i would say we need: Striker After that: Left Back Right Back 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Massive talent who also has connection to the club and since he was born in England he gets around the Brexit stuff. We have Lange and our analyst who surely knows about this guy. would be a huge missed opportunity for the price touted. Just make it happen Villa.

cheltenham_villa Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 As well as positions, I think we also need to consider the quality of additions that we bring in. If we want to progress then surely we need players that are ready to come in and improve the first 11 from day one. I think west ham is a good example, Benrahma looks a useful addition for the future but Lingard was the player that has really boosted their push towards top 6. I think we need to balance our arrivals. I'd like to see someone like Ings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Targett a lot, but we’ll need someone more akin to Cash on that side if we want to push on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
