Yes indeed. Particularly as Thuram is more than capable of playing the role Bailey is currently occupying. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not worth the £50m Roma will want when we'll then have two very similar forwards, of about a similar level. I wouldn't prioritise signing a striker at all, that money needs spending elsewhere in the team IMO. I think the better question would be who do you get rid of if you sign any new number 9. Watkins, Archer or Duran. Archer has never had a chance, Duran has just been signed and Watkins is number one right now. I'd argue if a 40/50 million pound striker comes in then the logical player to sell is Watkins. With that being the case I wouldn't sign a striker this summer, I'd wait for the following summer and give the three we have a try then re evaluate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest av1 Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 I don’t think we are far away from a very good team. This is how I see us lining up for the first game next season. I predict 4 new starters. New New Carlos Mings Moreno Luiz Kamara New Buendia New Watkins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexvilla4 Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 João Pedro is the one to go for if Watford don't come up. Only 21 and has a very high ceiling. Plays as a support striker so would link with the midfield and compliment Watkins. Also works really hard off the ball and can dribble well Would be so much better than Bailey in that position 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ekrem is the biggest BS merchant on Twitter. I expect he’s just copying other stuff now. I don’t think he’s capable of original thought. I wish pages like Total Villa wouldn't indulge the most tenuous of rumours and fake rubbish for clicks too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UpTheVilla26 Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 I think we will see a lot going on this summer. I'd not be surprised to see Martinez sold. Possibly Digne & Coutinho too along with some of the players out on loan. Hopefully Carlos comes back and can partner Mings. I'd look at a new starting RB. Get that Bamba in as CB/CDM rotation, get in a new CM to start ahead of McGinn and challenge JJ for the spot, a proper winger with some pace and a forward. So, dependent on outgoings, I'd not be surprised to see 6-7 through the door with 5-6 out. It's about replacing what we have with better quality now. Emery has a clear identity he wants to stamp on this team and he will know who he needs. If a few big names are culled for that, I'm for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
