Remember when we had Philips, Bissouma and Suarez threads? Someone start a Duje Ćaleta-Car thread. It feels like ages ago! I remember the rush of rumours about a week or so after the season ended. We should get a Caleta-Car thread up and maybe a Nelsson one too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 Sevilla are looking at Tanguy Nianzou at Bayern to replace Kounde. Probably be worth a try if he's available for the right price. He's not going to be a like for like for Carlos but from the little I saw of him at Bayern he looks like a talent. Sevilla have a good track record of signing players and this guy is a PSG youth product which means he's from the best academy in the world. And he's pretty tall.

Good age (22), a decent goal scoring record, and would offer us something different up front due to his height (6'4). Maybe we could utilise him to attack some of the crosses from Cash and Digne.

Monkeypuzzle Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 How did D. Caleta-Car and R. de Tomas do last season? They are the two names that I keep hearing and at a cursory glance they look great as centre back and striker options for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky_Vale Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 Is it just me that is slightly excited at the prospect of Caleta-Car.. simply because he has a beard? Remember when Mellberg got better and better the longer his beard got... I think its a good omen 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Traore, Nakamba, El Ghazi, Sanson, Guilbert, Hause can’t even make the squad with 9 subs. Depth isn’t an issue in the slightest, first team quality is. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveAV1 Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 1 hour ago, VillaFaninLondon said: Fair enough. Well we all know who the club are and who they are run and owned by. Businessmen essentially run football clubs and ours is no different. Ours have more wealth than the majority of the league as many of here like to go on about. And if we are not improving the team enough to fight for positions they claim we want to get to, thereby raising the hopes of the fanbase but failing to achieve them, then it will be the fans that suffer. I agree that they’re businessmen and can accept that they may see things differently to us fans. I can also easily believe that they may have and will continue to make mistakes, everyone does. But I can see no reason why they would want to screw us over. They’ve shown no signs of being a Doug or a Randy and I wouldn’t mention them in the same breath as the bloke with the Mondeo on his road trip to the Italian capital.

Laughable Chimp Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 1 hour ago, VillaParkAvenue said: His goal scoring dropped like a stone last season after being good previous seasons. Does anyone know why? Statistically, 60 percent was due to a drop in finishing and 40 percent was due to a drop in non penalty xG compared to the previous season. Finishing is just one of those things that can wildly vary across seasons and he has shown very good finishing in previous seasons. The xG part however is more complicated. This could either be his team failing to create chances for him or he himself is failing to get into the right position to finish chances. Interestingly, the rest of his team had the same non-penalty xG for both these seasons which suggests that the rest of his team at was not getting less chances.
