JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 Ings might be off to Everton according to " The Sun ". Kind of feel for Ings, what a strange career. Issue is, the game has sort of moved on from the " Fox in the box " only ( Or predominantly ) type strikers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villaglint Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 Strangely though loads of teams play two up top now which is what he needs to be successful. Just not the team he signed for. Moyes is very rigid with his tactics. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never actually seen Ings as one of those. He can drop deep and link the play as well as score. He got a couple of really nice assists for us like the one to Bailey for his debut goal v Everton. I think maybe it's more a case of teams tending to like a more physical, athletic forward these days. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hank Scorpio Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 (edited) I sense its going to get very tetchy in here as we get towards the deadline without any signings.

When you have such a dominant no.1 keeper, it's a difficult position to fill, hence why Unai is content having Olsen in the role. He's far from perfect, but is an experienced full international. For a keeper to stand in for Emi without there being a sizeable drop in quality, you're looking for a keeper that would be able to play regularly in the PL, or top Championship side. With that in mind, how do you recruit a player of that calibre, with him knowing full well that instead of regular football at another club he should come to Aston Villa and rarely play. Given how seriously Unai takes the cups, it's not even a 'gimme' that he'll get to start those early games. What's in it for a good keeper to be a #2 at Aston Villa in lieu of being a #1 somewhere else? Yep he’s an international but palace have a reserve keeper in Sam Johnson. I’d prefer him 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketspuds Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 I do wonder if we will make one last attempt to sign Joao Felix. Another loan-to-buy possibly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had one stand out, freak season that he's been able to dine out on ever since. "Everton are interested" tells you all you need to know. He's so incredibly overrated....

He's past his best now but he certainly wasn't pants. His goals to minutes ratio has always been very good.

STO Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 The only thing I reckon we might do at this stage is a last minute crack at one of the clubs in Spain or Italy who need the money and might instruct a player that he needs to leave because they need the money. That or a loan offer for Lo Celso as a replacement for Coutinho, if he moves. That said, great window, but I think we are done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STO Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 I think we might bring in another last minute loan, potential loan to buy, if anything at all. Injured players can't get back quickly enough Demitri! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
