Luiz barely makes the starting XI and him leaving wouldn't greatly bother me! His contract status is largely inconsequential to my positivity/negativity towards Villa's future. I would say you're in the slight minority with that. They'll take anything that can generate some positivity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBlack Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 5 hours ago, MaVilla said: its pretty simple for me. We need a top class no.8 critically. next on the list is a striker, but tbh that would be a nice to have, not critical. We 100% need a no.8 that can help take our midfield to the next level (Kamara/new no.8/whoever). I think we need a number 11 more than anything. When Gerrard gets the boot and the next manager comes in wanting to play a proper formation we won't be able to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rustibrooks Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 Aston Villa would be interested in signing Nabil Fekir, from Real Betis, and would offer about 25 M € for the French player. #AVFC #mercato 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomaszk Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 Fekir must be an old link. If it's not and we want him, must indicate a move to 4231. Critchley constantly tried to play it at Blackpool but never had the players. Buendia did all his best work for Norwich as a narrow RW in a 4231, Coutinho can play off the left. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the bench with 4 more players of decent enough quality to be able to come on and affect the game. It’s a 16 man show now. We don’t need to start our best 11 footballers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And seven were losses!. Surely those protecting SG can understand and its not just from the season opener Wrong thread. Take this tripe to SG. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use funds to sign an 8 If possible replace an Ings or a Watkins with a new Striker If possible replace Mings with a new LCB If possible replace McGinn With another 8 Yes to all of this.

VillaParkAvenue Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 Another number 10? I guess Fekir could have an important role keeping Buendia happy, sitting on the bench beside him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 I could see us going for Fekir so Gerrard can try to move Buendia on as he is popular with the fans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaVilla Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 I saw a very interesting report recently, that Fekir nearly signed for Liverpool in 2019 (from Lyon, before he signed for Real Betis). Apparently the deal was done, medical done etc, Fekir just needed to sign on the bottom line, then Fekir's agent started asking for more money and causing issues, so Klopp immediately pulled the plug and said "no thanks". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There seems to be many rumours about that failed Liverpool move. Funny detail that he was intended to be a replacement for Coutinho. This article, very critical against Fakir, celebrates the fact he never arrived at Anfield: https://www.liverpool.com/liverpool-fc-news/features/liverpool-nabil-fekir-transfer-news-18005575 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
