Going to be a great signing for us. Got a hunch! Talking of that, I’ve noticed he hasn’t any u18s u21s caps as yet.. I wonder why? You’d think being a Juve player would got him a pick Edited June 21 by CarryOnVilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 He'll have to speed up on the ball and slow down off it if he's sitting in midfield for us. Doubt we'll see too many PL minutes for a few months. It's so easy to succeed here. Just do what you're told by our incredible manager. What an opportunity! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anything11 Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 Got a really good feeling about this one. Very few players in his position are as "cultured" as they say - often either hardworking tacklers or QB style passers. We have seen how much this style of player (Kamara) lifts others around them (Dougie). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DakotaVilla Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 I’m hugely excited about the potential of this signing and it fixes a glaring squad deficiency. Huge upside potential and Martinez will be the obvious mentor to make sure he settles quickly at the club. A mere 21 months ago we were signing donkeys like dendonker, what progress.

TRO Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 16 hours ago, Jas10 said: We might have signed a good one here @TRO Someone to get stuck in, take the ball and pass it with aplomb… A proper defensive player… we had a distinct lack of those, at our disposal, last season. Kind you’ve been crying out for. Yeah...sounds just like the type, i have been banging the drum for......but until we see them play, it's just fingers crossed. encouraging though. I have this feeling Unai knows exactly what the profile of our team should look like.....and I am not so sure, it's ALL about PSR.....I think balance is an element in his thinking too.

Isa Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 I was content with McKennie but after reading a plethora of rave reviews about this guy, I cannot help but think the stars have aligned with the former pricing himself out of the deal. Nice core of Spanish speakers to help him settle in including two compatriots and the manager himself obviously. Plus Illing-Junior who he must've played a bit with for their B team. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lochheads twin Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 Sounds like an exciting prospect. One for Emi to take under his wing. the great thing is we have a solid core of senior role model professionals to help these young guys settle in. Also Wiki lists him as being born at Villa Maria, so this one is meant to be! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have seen how much this style of player (Kamara) lifts others around them (Dougie). Curious to see how he would potentially play alongside Kamara and if that would be a very solid base that can still keep the ball moving very well, or if they would be too similar. Give us a solid option when we go to the Bernabeu in the semifinals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I felt we needed to strengthen our defensive midfield, someone who could backup/rotate with Kamara. He looked to me far better then say Chambers or Dendoncker. Contract running out. Quite technical, good passer, physical presence, good in the air. Tenacious. Loads of raw material, that I imagined would improve greatly under Unai Emery. His statics were quite impressive at the time. Was mostly wishful thinking from my part, but enjoyable seeing it go through. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only counter though is the gap between Martinez/Watkins to Maatsen is much greater than Luiz to Soule or Chiesa.
