Zero7 Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 4 minutes ago, Philosopher said: Also JWP's work rate, aggression and set piece delivery will be right up Moyes street. The likes of Soucek, Maguire, and Dawson, with JWP's delivery will be a dangerous combination. They are still light up top though. Ings, Benrahma, and Bowen will not be sufficient. Paqueta is a good player but simply doesn't fit in there. Alt Nouri is a good shout to nab from Wolves. what's this got to do with Villa transfers? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can breathe a sigh of relief that we aren't signing JWP and Maguire. Just not suited to us! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In their system he can focus on the basics and he wont need to play out or pass progressively. With him, Zouma and Dawson they will be dominant in the air, and with JWP on set pieces they will be dangerous. No one was lining up to buy Dawson last year either but he has been decent for them. However, once Moyes is inevitably sacked and a more progressive manage is brought in, he will be stuffed. ? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gompedyret Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 Tyler Adams rumors don't seem to want to die down. I'd still rather have Wilfried Gnonto if we had to go shopping in Leeds. Especially if it meant us not shipping out Douglas Louiz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philosopher Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 22 minutes ago, Jas10 said: Yep… I can’t quite recall how good he was for us now… been a while… Pretty average. That was back in the days foreign players got no help from the club beyond getting paid. So struggled to adapt. When I think of how Savo did, and how young he was. And little support was available to him, I feel like the club let themselves down with him. He was a good player for us, but he could've been great for us. Doug Ellis was such a backwards owner. At a time when football in this country was undergoing such a huge upheaval, and changing at breakneck speed, we had a dinosaur at the helm. Villa were stuck in the 80's until Lerner took over. It only in the last decade or so English football has caught up to the leading European leagues in terms of infrastructure, youth coaching, and tactical awareness. This why we still have a lack of quality English coaches, that's the last part of the puzzle, as they're the last to come through. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t disagree with that… we failed to support JPA who had a hard time… had we given him the necessary support, he could have been an even better player for us… and have an even greater “legacy”… regret… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 (edited) Just seen that Gregg Evans mentioned that Bayern Munich expressed a little interest in Ollie, had no clue about this. He did say Ollie is very happy at Villa and with Unai though etc. Says it's very unlikely he DOESN'T sign a new contract but anything is possible.

So Ollie hates Emery he won't be signing a new contract and will be a Bayern player before the window closes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
