Although yes it seems like he's a lot more attacking oriented than him but still. Edited February 28, 2023 by Laughable Chimp 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archer? Duran? I‘d like to see us loan Duran out for a full season next year and go with NEW, Watkins and Archer as the striking options. I think Archer deserves his chance next year. If the talk of Alvarez is true he’d be a good one for the Bailey role. Get agent Dibu on the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good on him - big money and the Pep magic talk not enough to satisfy his ambition - sort of the opposite to that player we once had. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 (edited) I would like Pau Torres and Guendouzi....in the Summer. I still have much Faith in Ollie, for many, many reasons.....would not sell him....but I can understand teams wanting to sign him. If we sign another striker, its to play WITH Ollie, not in place of him....IMO. Edited February 28, 2023 by TRO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we’ll continue to develop Duran and keep Ollie as the main striker and sign a technical support striker/ winger to play alongside him a player that can score provide assists and contribute to build up play. That player won’t be cheap unless it’s Deulofeu. And yes I agree we need a physical presence in midfield but not at the expense of technical ability Guendouzi fits the bill and would probably cost less than Merino. Pau Torres I can’t see leaving Villarreal and if he did it would be in the region of 70 odd million. If Carlos is fit then it won’t be a problem but if this isn’t the case I wouldn’t be opposed to singing and older ball playing centre back like Inigo Martinez who’s quite small for a centre back but incredibly dominant in the air.

Mazrim Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 There's been some mad coincidences in recent times where strikers I've signed in Fifa career mode for Villa have ended up playing for us in real life. Who did I sign in Fifa 23? Victor Osimhen... But yeah, Alvarez would do nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we as fans, moving forward, need to move away from the first eleven and think more about the squad. Its hard for us to buy players, who can do most things, so we need alternatives to come in for certain games.....We need variety in our squad, and not too many the same or similar. I still think we need help, with dominating the ball and that might be a pre requisite to focus on, moving forward. I am all for a new winger, but they are notoriously inconsistent, so I have mixed views on that...It can be a lot of money to pay out for inconsistency. Many wingers find this league hard going, when they have done it abroad, so its a tough call to make. I am not a big fan of small centrebacks, meaning sub 6 foot....but there are exceptions like Ake and Martinez. The summer needs to be a time when the new faces elevate us, and not just tread water.

Zatman Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 I dont think we have any chance of getting Alvarez. City will ask for an extortionate amount from a Premier League club Can see him going to Bayern for a smaller fee and being a star 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
