At least we’d get some money for any of those. Konsa would probably be the one that I would sell though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jareth Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Surely we just need better than Hause, for 12 months. That has to be doable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferguson1 Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 John Stones or Joe Gomez on loan for six or twelve months? Both players not starting regularly and may want games during a World Cup season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We lose Carlos from that and it fundamentally cripples the way we intend to play. It's absolutely critical we essentially write off that transfer now and sign a new ball playing CB if at all possible. Our entire season hinges on this CB signing. Not seen much too much decent building from the back with Carlos in the side. No doubt he's very good at it though. Super comfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think we should be in a “desperate” situation though we have 4 senior central defenders + Feeney. The midfield is actually still more of an issue imo.

Reivax_Villa Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 I said previously we haven't really strengthened our squad. Now that Carlos is out for a few months we basically have a similar group of CB's (Bar Chambers) that we had when we got promoted We haven't upgraded on quality. Worrying.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duke313 Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Lange better have something up his sleeve if we actually have ambitions of top half never mind Europe. A replacement defender A new midfielder A new striker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villabromsgrove Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 I'm convinced we will be bringing in a quality CM to play alongside Kamara. this will make playing out from the back a bit easier as Kamara can drop back to collect simple passes from the defence. This would allow us to go for a typically English style "old fashioned" CB like Nat Phillips who may well be available on loan. He's not a Diego Carlos type CB, but he would solve another problem that was glaringly obvious in our first game of the season. Bournemouth highlighted our lack of an aerially dominant CB with Mings out, and Philips is a bit of a beast who wins more headers than most CB's. Mings and Phillips as a partnership could sort out our set piece problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would be joining Carlos on the treatment table after one game! Mings is also susceptible to injury so Villa definitely need a quality 1st team replacement for Carlos.
