VillaHatesMe Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 30 minutes ago, Tomaszk said: By telling a competent director of football the type of player he wants. Then they, with scouting assistance, can scour the entire world for players exactly in the mould requested. They should already have a bank of 100s of players they like. Then the manager can choose from them. Hard to do that when the manager was hired in December, there's a World Cup break, and the transfer window is January. What you're describing is likely what will happen in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guendouzi more so could be more than just good, even though when the reports started flying in i overreacted on the emotions side which was based on the game we played against him in where he was just erratic towards our players and haven't liked him since then, but before that i had rated him as a player but due to my allegiance with the mighty villa i was at war with him @paul514 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly we can't, because we don't have one. Managers just sign whoever they want. Luckily, Emery is a top manager, so it may work this time.

What's going on? All anyone ever wants is immediate quality. Obviously. Why wouldn't a manager want immediate quality ever? It costs more, and just like any signing, isn't guaranteed to work. This is the point. 40 minutes ago, The_Steve said: Emery has a wide scouting network. He wouldn’t be this successful without it. What do you mean? I'm interested. I'd say his coaching is more important than his "wide scouting network". 40 minutes ago, The_Steve said: Bash players signed by Gerrard. Digne and Coutinho have been a huge waste of time and money. I'm really sorry you thought they wouldn't be, and won't change your mind despite evidence being there for all to see.

duke313 Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 (edited) Seems to have gone quiet with the Deulofeu and Lee Kang-In links. I hope we're still in for one of these, either would be ideal to play in the shadow striker role, and an upgrade on Bailey.

People have been saying all kinds of stuff about emery recently that I’m pretty sure is made up. Like they imagine what traits their idealized manager has, and then apply them to Emery. Don’t get me wrong, he’s a quality manager. But I’m sceptical about the sheer breadth of claims I’ve seen people make about him and all his positive qualities.

John Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 1 hour ago, Aston_Villan4 said: only two that seem close to anything of substance right now are: Guendozi. Apparently we’re in for him in the €30-35 million range but they want at least €50 for him. Kang-In. Supposedly battling it out with Newcastle for his signature. In the ballpark of £15million Unlikely to be much of a battle, if that's the case. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talks ongoing with Brentford for Ben Mee, he seems keen but Brentford holding out and then we are trying to persuade Bale not to retire and play for us for the remainder of the season because Emery can’t get the winger he wants in January. Hope that helps. Ozil arrived earlier today think it should be all wrapped up by tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thabucks Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 (edited) Be great if we could use Montpellier’s interest in Sanson to leverage a move for Elye Wahi, who appears perfect player for us. https://footballtalentscout.net/2022/11/18/elye-wahi-the-teen-striker-taking-ligue-1-by-storm-by-calum-scullion/ Quote While his finishing is his main strength, his overall play style also includes: he likes to play a lot of short passes, he cuts inside a lot and he can also sometimes be a threat from corners and free-kicks due to his height and natural finishing ability. While his finishing is his main on the ball strength, off the ball his movement is scarily good, he loves to attack the space behind defenders and run off of them, his movement often creates space between him and the defender and allows a teammate to play either a ball over the top or a through ball which then usually leads to Wahi having a high quality shot on goal. His movement and athleticism are integral parts of his game and he uses them very well to create opportunities for himself or his teammates. Elye doesn’t only use his pace and athleticism to help him offensively, he also works very hard defensively and you’ll often find him tracking back and helping his teammates try to regain possession when they are on the back foot. He is a good finisher and an overall very promising young striker however, like all young players he has some things he could improve on. While on the ball his finishing is great, he could really do more to become a link up option for his teammates, as previously stated, he loves to run off the defenders and has a great sense of positioning while receiving through balls but he’s not the best option for his teammates when they just need a quick outlet to link up the play and take the pressure off. He could also improve his dribbling and holding on to the ball ability. His dribbling is fine when he is one on one with a defender or running towards goal but it’s when he plays with back goal and the area becomes crowded that problems arise, it often leads to him losing possession or almost panicking and trying to force a pass before he should. Overall Wahi needs to improve his hold up play and back to goal game to take himself to the next level, if he can do this he will unlock many more opportunities for goals and assists.
