All 3 of the players they’ve signed have been heavily suggested as signings we should make in the past. villas scouts have been good recently and they are definitely stronger this year than last. As much as I think we could’ve done with Buendia or Bailey some of players Villa are linked with and bought are just obvious names, many of our fans wanted Sigurdsson and in the end we got Maddison in that position, I think it’s fair to say we made the right call. Its the reason they’re reminding me of Everton, we could’ve probably gone and got Danny Ings as well, it’s low risk in the sense that he’s proven but the potential rewards a lower as well but Danny Ings isn’t starting a for a top 4 side so if that’s actually Villa’s ambition eventually is it really the right type of signing? We instead got Daka who if successful will be worth 4x what we paid for him. Same applies for a signing like James Ward-Prowse if they pull it off.

If he gets 10 goals it would probably be good value. I’m certainly more worried about playing them now than I was this time last year. If he gets 10/15 goals which get Villa into Europe then the 30m turns into decent business. I've always liked him, he's a good goalscorer, it's just his injury record. A fit Ings will get at least 15 goals a season though (the season before last when he was injury free he scored 22 goals I think and that doesn't include penalties because Ward Prowse takes them for Southampton). Southampton could really struggle this season. Their attacking options look shocking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though I can understand kane desire to leave he should still be do a shift for spurs until his move to Manchester is complete. Maybe it's time the league put a role into action to prevent this, if a player refuses to report to his club for training a player his likely to face a five match ban... even if he does get his move in the end, does that sound fair.

This move doesn't make all that an act. Villa have showed more ambition than Southampton have. Do Southampton actually invest anything anymore? I would guess that Southampton fans are more pissed off with their board. I don't think they've been interested for a long time now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fox92 Posted 5 August 2021 Share Posted 5 August 2021 A lot of people overrating Villa a bit here though. I think Watkins and Ings are good forwards but their defence is shit and yes I'm including Mings in that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ealingfox Posted 5 August 2021 Share Posted 5 August 2021 2 hours ago, RowlattsFox said: If you look at Villa's strongest team: Martinez, Cash, Konsa, Mings, Targett, Bailey, Luiz, McGinn, Buendia, Ings, Watkins - if they went 442, they play defensive full backs so would probably get away with a front 4 against most. That's pretty decent. Not much behind them though. 8th at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not saying you’re wrong on that front but people would be excited if we had signed any of the 3... even at the prices they paid. it’s up to their owners if they want to do bad value deals as a fan, if it gets results on the pitch who cares Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were also a club the world thought were crazy for spending £1m on a non league striker. You can never really know what is good business and what is bad business until you’ve seen how they work at their new club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingleicester Posted 5 August 2021 Share Posted 5 August 2021 The records we have broke as well is just quite staggering, rewind to Sheffield Wednesday at home (that massive relegation battle) that we lost, you wouldn’t of dreamt how far we have come and what we and our players have achieved!! I still think we are the club of the decade!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never gonna happen but imagine if we did sign him on a free? I seem to remember reading that Juventus sold €50m worth Ronaldo shirts 24 hours after signing him. It'd be ****ing hilarious.
