John Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 29 minutes ago, Supervillan78 said: Honestly can’t see us signing Alonso. He’s a decent enough left back and can provide cover in central defence, but given he’s 32 and earning over £100k per week, it’s totally illogical. Also thought Digne was fantastic at the weekend. So I take it from that, you would say... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised there's less talk about a right back - especially with Ty out injured - that'll restrict our ability to play Konsa there - even if just for numbers we need a back up right back desperately. Unai has said that he thinks of Chambers as more of a RB or MF than a CB. Maybe he thinks Chambers is his cover at RB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkeypuzzle Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 If Acuna is injured and we are not going for him any more I hope we keep Digne. He is better than Tavares. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rustibrooks Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 Xabi Alonso loves Abde. The player does NOT want to go to the Premier, despite the interest of English clubs in him. His priority is to stay in Spain (Betis, Osasuna and other interested clubs) to play and, if not, Bayer Leverkusen. Here we go again with the Spanish press 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never heard of him or seen him play but I still want us to sign him now Always wanted Villa to sign some Uruguay players. Diaz is going to be quality. I've seen a bit of him play, I guess he's similar to Enciso who they already have and Barca were linked with Diaz a few months back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He got a lot of the ball and put in some decent crosses, but he was constantly in 20 yards of space (Dyche masterplan to only defend the middle of the pitch) so it's hard to judge how well he actually played.

The only way we can claim we have a good scouting / recruitment team is if we sign a player from Outer Mongolia that no-one has every heard of for a spare set of tracksuits, put him straight into our starting XI (dropping a player value at £40m to accommodate him) and that player then going on to win the Ballon D'Or in his first season. If Outer Mongolian fans are anything like the Tanzanians... They can keep him...whoever he may be.

I've always suspected some of the rags read our forums for information. As an experiment, I posted on both Vital Villa and VillaTalk after McLeish got the boot that we should go after Joe Kinnear as our next manager and got a few laughs. A day or two later some random journalist called up Joe on the phone and asked him if he had been in contact with Villa over the manager's job. Good ole' Joe had apparently been hitting the sauce pretty hard that morning and was quoted as saying "Randy Lerner would be stupid to consider me for the job, but I wouldn't turn down the opportunity."
