What am I missing that Spurs, Arsenal and Chelsea seemingly interested to various levels? I’m not sure he’s better than what we have and I’m not 100% convinced on Watkins and Ings myself. He’s a fine player but is he worth the money enough that he’s better than what we have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CVByrne Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 Realistically we should probably abandon signing a new CF in this market. Everyone is trying to sign one and we'll end up missing out on the best ones. Keep Archer and Traore around the first team next season and then make decisions in January 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 There's something about barbosa, been around a while, everyone knows who he is, he's not some gem that our scouts found and no one else did and yet no one goes for him, he's been to Europe failed and gone back He's a huge risk, could work as his record in Brazil is good but sods law we all know what will happen, great signing for someone else shit signing for us, that's villas luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither are necessarily an upgrade on what we have - but I think this is very hard to achieve - but both would provide depth/options and potential.

Beastmix Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 2 hours ago, Laughable Chimp said: Its a no from me for Barbosa. If we got him at his peak when he was top scorer in Brazil, sure. But he hasn't been particularly outstanding since and is in the midst of his worst season so far for them. I'm not sure where the narrative of Barbosa falling off the footballing cliff is coming from. His goal percentage stats across all comps since his return to South America in 2018 are: 2018: 51% 2019: 73% 2020: 62% 2021: 75.5% 2022: 70% Not too shabby. 1 in 2 (or better) in each season. It's just getting him to adapt and keeping him injury-free really. The attitude will likely disappear (or, at least, mellow out) with age. Nonetheless, I'd still rather us spend the money on less of a wildcard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep Archer and Traore around the first team next season and then make decisions in January With the risk of facing the wrath of " His record as a CF is xxx in X games in France" etc. I'd rather have Davis as a 4th choice " striker " than Traore, and I love Traore. However if you're depending on him against 2022 PL defenders you've got issues As a " Wide forward " no issue though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I admit he's goalscoring is better than I realized because he didn't play that many games but this is still too high from what I can see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
