DJBOB Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 Basically a prem/UCL version of Chester, Jedinak, Whelan, and Adomah. Not going to light up the world but the occasional good game, professional in all aspects, and not going to go flying out of position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No thanks because it’s not just the price but also the wages he’d want. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They play very similarly. Zubimendi has been linked a lot to United but would be a great rotation option in the double pivot. But at 24, I don't know if he will be satisfied in being a rotation option. Takefuso Kubo in any of the wide roles or in the second striker role. Great dribbler and carrier of the ball. Mentioned Kubo back in the a summer window, really good player not sure if we need him with Bailey, Ramsey and Diaby and then Zaniolo who has the option to buy and probably cheaper value than Kubo. Zubimendi on the other hand would be and excellent target if we secure champions league football then I think it would be realistic to target players like him as rotation options.

Sulberto21 Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 Eggestein from Freiburg. I don’t care if he’s shit but I think he’d be a cracking signing for the bantz. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need rotation options for all competitions that will maintain our level. At the right price and for the right wages, he’d be a v good signing - imo.

lexicon Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 Two of Ajax's prospects look very promising - Kenneth Taylor and Jorrel Hato. Hato is a starter at CB at 17. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was crushing to get relegated, but in retrospect, it was consistently the most fun time being a Villa fan over the last few decades, and several of the players from that time are club legends. It also set in motion the course of events that led to the takeover by NSWE. So in a few different ways, relegation was good for the club and the fans. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have been thinking about this a lot. It's actually a pretty deep question. Unpopular opinion - if he has his beliefs and doesn't try to push them on others I'm fine with it. I guarantee that for every supporter, a decent number of prem players, staff and management hold certain beliefs that the supporter would find objectionable. I guess that I've got to the point where I accept that I regularly work with people who might have differering opinions towards race, religion, immigration, sexuality, etc but we can get a job done. Would we be happy with a nationalistic British player? A socialist? A Marxist? A neoconservative? A hardline Catholic or Muslim? An Israeli who supports their governments actions? A Palestinian who does the same? It's all so tiresome. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
