They just need to work hard and understand the system. But neither of them really got any game time, so no point just being better than them. We don’t want our youth to be benchwarmers, I’d rather just sell them and make money that way, to then reinvest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Looking at sky bets transfer odds it’s all players that are really unlikely to move this January like Mbappe. The most likely looking one is Elanga to Dortmond. I don’t get why they won’t let me bet on Guendouzi to Villa. Why won’t they take my money damn it!!

We need to push on this season or we will regret it. Now is the time to pull the trigger. If the right players for Emery won't come/aren't available until the summer, don't pull trigger for the sake of it. That's how you get shit squad fillers. We waited for Kamara, and he's a Rolls Royce, don't buy a Dacia. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Steve Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Unai has said multiple times he wants a particular style of winger and that Jhon wasn’t signed to replace Ings - and people still want to believe we are done for the window 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bose Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 I don’t believe we’re finished this January. It would be a huge mistake given how tight the league is and having a realistic opportunity of getting in to the Europe qualification places. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have the momentum and with some of the big six clubs underperforming an opportunity to break the status quo in regards to the top 6. We need to push on this season or we will regret it. Now is the time to pull the trigger. With this squad, we've beaten Man Utd and Spurs. Let's keep it calm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisvilla4 Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 I think the issue is we are going for a higher calibre of player, not just squad fillers, ones to improve the first 11. That's what takes time and why we may have to wait until summer. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure that’s a great answer, this squad has also lost to Stevenage.

We shouldn’t make short term signings if they don’t improve the squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 (edited) It seems the asking prices are too high....we have to remain cute. If we have to keep our powder dry, so be it. Patience is a virtue. Edited January 26, 2023 by TRO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The impatience involved in football is so infuriating. Understand the sentiment behind this post, but also understand why some would be apprehensive about going into the remainder of the season with what we've got. Personally I thought our squad was a bit light before we let players go. When we're putting multiple goalkeepers on the bench, I think that shows your squad is really lacking depth.
