I think the way Unai has it planned would be that any additional keeper would also back up and would be fighting for 2nd spot with Olsen imo. I think Olsen will get us through this season though and we will be okay. But as Unai says, if anything ever happens in the market where we can improve, we will be ready to act.

Maybe a move back to the Midlands could be attractive to him as his family must have had some pretty deep ties to the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have heard people say Henderson, De Gea, Navas Only short of making a cheeky bid for Neuer. At end of the day backup keeper for a non Champions League club you be lucky to get Joe Hart or Waybe Hennessey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demitri_C Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 1 hour ago, AvfcRigo82 said: I agree @Demitri_C IMHO, A warchest in the transfer market these days is doing what Chelsea have done. Looking at the shambles going on there, if that's what a warchest involves then **** that. I prefer doing it the Villa way, where we know we have a sustainable approach to success... not a scatter gun approach where your maniac owners buy players that your manager isn't even aware of - nor even asked for. We know we have £££... why do we need to justify it to the world and be arseholes like Chelsea have gone about it.. or dope our way to success how Man City have. I'll continue banking with NasWes and following the Unai Monchi way to success instead. So far so good. Spot on. Give me this way over chelseas way any day of the week. Even of it works for chelsea they bought success. We havent. So of any silver ware comes in qe can say we won it the right way 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has been linked with Celtic but that seems a lazy link with Rodgers there I think is a chance a team will need a starting keeper in the coming weeks so its a decent risk to take. If Alisson, Pope or even Emi {hopefully not} gets a long term injury he would be capable just step in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 Even looking at that liverpool bench you could argue our depth is better than theirs Our squad is good, we maybe at a push just need that one big piece to land in our lap, we don't need to go nuts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozvilla28 Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 Still maintain we're a couple short considering injuries and outgoings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketspuds Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 Our squad is good but we are overly reliant on Watkins, which is dangerous. Can we play with anyone else in that position when he’s having a poor game, or are we screwed until the next window? So frustrating that we had to cancel our deal for Abraham because of his knee injury in the last game of last season. Just our luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the striker situation is a little concerning. I think Konsa is basically considered a capable RB now though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah possibly, however I think Konsa would be a RCB where Carlos is actually doing okay and seems well suited to PL football. Carlos and Konsa could be a good shout though?

jacketspuds Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 Still really struggling to understand why we haven’t signed another forward option in the summer with a striker that currently has something like 1 goal in 10 PL games. Has to be a priority in January. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferguson1 Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 If rumours are to be believed then Tammy Abraham was a top target this summer. His injury stopped any move, but perhaps it’s one we’ll look at in January if he’s fit? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree and I think it’s why we didn’t sign another striker because Emery said a couple of times in the 2nd half of the season we wanted another striker and some on here trying to argue Zaniolo or Diaby were that it didn’t seem to be that from Emery imo. I think the Tammy rumours might be true and Emery only buys players he wants and so he might be waiting until Jan for him. Who knows! A lot will laugh at this, a lot will see some sense. Just strange we didn’t buy another striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
