We have rarely spent big. Do canny purchases not count as buying success then? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's easy to look back and pick it apart because most of them failed but they were probably comparable players to the likes of Buendia and Damsgaard. For example Klaasen was like Donny Van De Beek in that he was Ajax's blue eyed boy and a huge talent, he came to the PL and was muck. ....having Koeman in charge probably didn't help!!!

The only point I would make is they brought Klaaseen, Sigurðsson and Rooney who virtual all wanted to play as a 10 or ACM. Spending 70m on two player Klaaseen, Sigurðsson in the processes, it was a bit like arsenal when they seem to keep buying a new 10 every season. They also splashed 47m on Wilcott and Tosun in January 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s a good manager, considering how gash Villa were in their first season (pre-lockdown), finishing 11th on 55 points last season is good going. Especially when they have quite a few dossers in their ranks like Luiz and Mings. Bailey, Buendia, Damsgaard, Traore, El Ghazi, Watkins, McGinn, Konsa, Martinez & Cash is a good crop of players.

Not going to complain that they are a good group of players but Villa might just wobble this season, that's how vital Grealish is to them whether on or off the pitch if he's sold.

Grealish only started 24 games in the league last season so I think they’ll get over it. Buendia got 15 goals and 15 assists last season - obviously he won’t get those figures in the PL but I think he’ll be great for Villa.

It’s all a bit annoying because their fans are massive bin liners I remembered him being on the sidelines but didn't realise he only made 24 starts. Too many twinkle toes tripping and hurting his nails. When he came on in the euros and on his second touch he was walking into the box casually rolling the ball with that swaggering micro walk. I felt so sick it was cringey. They've done OK in the market to date, with current ffp issues of their own I can only imagine the sale of him was pre arranged. If they stay up this year then villa have got a lot of financial consolidating to do over the next 5 years or so as their spending is more than wayward.

deep blue Posted 3 August 2021 Share Posted 3 August 2021 It would be interesting to compare Villa's record without Grealish and ours once Barnes got injured. Maybe they weren't too dissimilar. Oops, sorry. Gone way off-topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post ItaloEnglish Posted 11 August 2021 Popular Post Share Posted 11 August 2021 (edited) Hello all, I am a half Italian half English, I live in Italia and support Sampdoria for all my life. I have to clear a few things up - Damsgaard has not been average for us at all. Maybe if you look at his goals/Assists. But his underlying stats are insanely good. And he has influenced a lot of games - He often gets the play going, and sets up the assistmaker. Also, he has come in off the bench alot, as our Coach didn't really play a style suited to him. He has been very good, especillay against big teams like Inter, Milan, and so on. Also, he has been good for Dennmark before the Euros aswell - And in the Euros, did more than score goals. There are many vids on YT, showing his abilities. I will say tho, that imo he is not suited for the prem, I hope he stays in Seria A, or goes to La Liga, or BuLI. Our owner, wants Roma to buy him.

It's good to have more info about him, I don't really know anything other than what I saw in the Euros, so thanks for that. From what you've said, it seems like his xT (the new 'expected threat' metric) might be quite good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
