Carney signing a contract and developing would be like a new signing. Ings and Buendia together = goals. Get them on the pitch. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did I believe we’d win the league in 81 or the European Cup in 82 when we were in the third division? No chance. Did I believe we could get relegated just a few years later? Well that’s a bit more believable. We, Aston Villa we’re nearly bankrupt and almost on the brink of extinction just a few years ago. Now look at us. We’re the hardest of all the clubs to call, but in our case you really just never know. A couple of years time, beat Man City in the European Cup final to take our lead over them to two. Likely? No of course not, but as the great man said, “Do you want to bet against us?” ‘Oh yeah’ would have done Dave Edited June 25, 2022 by Follyfoot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AntrimBlack Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 39 minutes ago, Jas10 said: This is spot on, we’re yet to see the best of many of our players largely due to injury issues and possibly lack of a settling in period. It’s true that many of us lack any patience with our players and are too quick to want to discard them. Absolutely nothing to suggest we are done. Kamara and Carlos are undeniably genuine statement signings for us and where we’re at currently. Why do we do this every off season? So much negativity and worry? Let’s just see how things pan out, it’s such early days. No reason to be so pessimistic and we’ve made a great start imo. I’m sure we will make moves where the opportunities arise and not make signings just for the sake of it. We’re looking for genuine upgrades and already have a couple… We still have players to sell and hopefully generate a few more funds and free up wages for new players. Patience… In excess of £50m? That's a very safe claim. Our owners will spend whatever they can realistically justify to improve us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketspuds Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 (edited) Could be £51m, could be £151m. Preece has no clue. I’m sure he was on some shite podcast yesterday saying that we want the likes of Connor Gallagher, a backup LB and a striker if the right one becomes available.

jacketspuds Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 Would love it if we swooped in and signed Ekitike. The kid looks class and it would piss off the Newcastle fans. Win win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grobs Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 I saw a link on Twitter to soucek, he might be a good signing. Add a bit of strength to the midfield and he always scores against us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted June 25, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted June 25, 2022 I've always rated Soucek whenever i've seen him play (admittedly i've not watched West Ham all that much). Would not be against us signing him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarryOnVilla Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 I’m not sure why we are worried about our incomings? I'm more concerned about our out goings… we have almost an entire squad of players we need shifting and the only one that’s officially gone is Matt Targett. Granted, looks like Trez and Luiz are going too, but we ain’t had hardly a peep for any of our other players. It’s a concern that we’ve spent soo much on players in recent years and for some reason we can’t sell barely any for real money, unless it’s Jack Grealish. Right now, Aston Villa is a bloated squad that’s not good enough, for our desires and other clubs desires Yes we need better players, but can we shift the players that are not right for us first. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post thabucks Posted June 25, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 25, 2022 (edited) Souceck isn't the midfielder we need. His passing is awful and he’d slow things up worse than Luiz and be counterproductive signing to the way we play.
