RicRic Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 1 hour ago, striker said: Totally disagree with this. There isn’t a tried and trusted CL midfielder in there. Dendoncker and Chambers are done at the Villa and will probably be shipped out. Barkley was probably purchased as a 1st change squad depth midfielder although I do rate him and Barrenchea is of unknown quality? Consequently Villa’s midfield is still very weak when you consider trying to be competitive in the Premiership and CL so that’s why I’m convinced Villa will sign two quality midfielders before the window shuts. I’d like one of those midfielders to be Chelsea’s best player last season, Gallagher. Did Palmer change his name to Gallagher ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abdulaziz1 Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 Matinez RB Konsa Torres Maatsen CM (Tielemans) Enzo (CM) Bailey, Rogers (Tielemans), Ramsey (Rogers) Watkins I think this starting lineup would be our best, but certain games would be different, it will depend who we’ll get.

RicRic Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 7 minutes ago, abdulaziz1 said: I don’t think our current issue is Kamara replacement, we need a Luiz replacement first. I’d be ok with Enzo starting, we’ve made our way last season with Luiz playing there, don’t think Enzo would do any worse, if we had Enzo last season I think our results would’ve improved massively. The season before we had our best games with Dendonker starting. But for Luiz position we can’t depend on Barkley, in Luton everything went through him, he was their Grealish. We will not do that, and Tielemans done ok but I still think we need a proper replacement here. Fofana would be the perfect one. Serie A is completely different to our league theres no telling how he would have fared tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RicRic Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 Fofana does not have the ball control , passing wizardry and flair like Luiz but having said that he is still a very good player, ideally i want someone to match the qualities Luiz had and more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulMcGrath_5 Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 (edited) Mats Wieffer is one I’m slightly disappointed we don’t seem to have gone for. My homies Unai and MonchDogg know best though! Edited July 4 by PaulMcGrath_5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulMcGrath_5 Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 (edited) Max Kilman off to West Ham for £40mill seems rather high! Todibo no longer of interest to them, clearing the way for us? Not that he’d choose them over us, just trying to create some drama. Edited July 4 by PaulMcGrath_5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awol Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 Brighton have done an excellent deal here, I’d have taken him at Villa - specially with Fofana looking AC Milan bound Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure about his passing ability because we might have another Chambers in that case. Yeah, Jaka Bijol. I think he'd be a great signing without breaking the bank.

Fair points but I disagree entirely with neraly everything you've said. Our form dipped massively in the second half of last season, which coincided with Kamara's injury, and with Kamara out until probably January we're going to suffer if we don't have a proper replacement/cover. Enzo looks like he could be a really good player under Unai's tutelage, but to throw him straight in and expect him to hit the ground running and play 20+ games until Kamara returns is reckless beyond belief. Statically anyway, Barkley and Tielemans cover Luiz. If we only sign one more midfielder, it needs to be a DM to cover Kamara. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarryOnVilla Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 (edited) Assuming we sell, Dendonker, chambers and Moreno, our best Squad for the CL Registration is Martinez/Olsen (or Gauchi). Cash/KKH Konsa/Carlos. Torres/Mings. Maatsen/Digne/Iling Jr. Kamara/Bareenechea. Tielemans/Barkly. McGinn/Buendia. Ramsey/Rogers. Bailey/Diaby. Watkins/Duran/Archer Who would you drop to get the new CM in? Digne or Duran for me and 6 month loan cover for Kamara, but who’s in the loan market that is “CL Quality”? Edited July 4 by CarryOnVilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maqroll Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 2 hours ago, useless said: We're obvously going to sign at least one more central midfielder, that can play in a midfield two, none of McGinn, Tielemans, or Barkley are particularly suited to playing in a two man midfield. We will sign at least one more CM as Luiz replacement and that player will be first choice alongside Kamara when both fit. Agreed, and I expect it will be a club record signing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
