barry'sboots Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 I love Watkins. I think he will come back when he gets a break. Importantly, his movement and pressing is fundamental to the way that Stevie wants to play. He created the space for JJs second goal v Leeds with his intelligent diagonal run. The three of Coutinho, Buendia and Ollie with JJ joining has looked very good in the last three games?? I would let Ings go - he doesn't suit Stevie G ball and is better suited to playing in a two. In would look to bring in a "Daka" type - mobile goal scorer - that can understudy Ollie. Or maybe a Lacazette on a free to give Cam and KD another year to progress. It depends how KD and Cam perform over the next couple of months but, at the minute, I would be looking to put both on loan to bottom 6/newly promoted PL teams and see how they do in this division. I have always thought there is a player in KD and he showed that against Leicester last week - he didn't look out of place v PL opposition and was a real nuisance, creating space for others. Ultimately he would give us a very different option off the bench. Cam looks really exciting and I hope his development continues on the same trajectory. He looks more of a direct Ollie Watkins competitor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume you are not talking about Ash and Gareth?? I think both have great potential but both need better loans next year at a higher level to see if they can deliver.

Whilst he has undoubted talent, I think he has a long way to go to make it at the Villa. I like Young - he looks like a fighter - but he would be way behind Cam and KD at the minute? Cam is the amazing one for me. Who would have thought he'd be where he is today 12 months ago when he wasn't exactly tearing it up for Solihull Moors?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would look miserable all the time (or maybe that’s just everyone at Everton at the minute) but I think he’s very good, presses well, used to the lone striker role for Brazil underage teams, was very good at the Olympics (I know), and has a lot of room for improvement as well.

Didn't they pay £50m for him though and probably wouldn't want to sell at a loss. I wouldn't look at him as a £50m striker?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you're mistaking us with the previous season but he's on about summer 2021. We weren't linked to Alvarez before that. Ahhh my bad. The last two seasons blurred into one for me with project restart etc! I still think we weren't the required level to get him - he's a potential star player and he's got his move to a champions league team. Interesting to see how he does at Citeh next year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaParkAvenue Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 It’s a shame we don’t use wingers anymore so no real use for JPB. (Except maybe keeping him around until 2025 when Gerrard leaves and we go back to 4231) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Discuss. good player, but tbh, he's a 1 in 4 striker for Everton, and to me he doesnt look like the type of striker who leads the line alone, to me he seems more of a second striker, or something. But yeah, good player, but not for 40-50m imo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But ye, can imagine they would want 40-50m for him, and for a 1 in 4 striker over 160 games in the PL (42 goals in 157 games), not sure thats good value.

The values he was getting quoted for are mad considering his actual output although that may have been due to how young he was at the time. But he hasn't really kicked on since his early days so maybe the price has been lowered? Edited February 12, 2022 by Laughable Chimp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adman Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 In terms of style, I'd say Davies is the best suited to our system... Potentially we will have Ings, Watkins, Bailey, Archer, Davies for one spot when 3 /4 would be more than adequate. If things continue not to work out for Ings I'd be happy to get our money back on him to Newcastle maybe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sulberto21 Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 Ideally Watkins finds last season’s form or when Archer returns he shows he can do it in the Premier League. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
