We will never know now but its obvious that we left the squad too thin.He wouldn't have provided us with nothing different to what we currently have if he stayed. Benfica was a good club to really test him playing for one of Portuguese and European giants. Failed to make any impact there.
I reckon there is a high chance Rogers is the next player to be bought for 100m+ in the PL. strength, technique, ball carrying, dribbling past players, 190cm tall. With a contract at Villa to 2030, if you want him, your going to need at least 110m minimum.Have we got a buy back clause for Morgan Rogers?
Would have the same limited game time that he has been given at Benfica.We will never know now but its obvious that we left the squad too thin.
Its painful watching players like Gundogan, Ake and Stones struggling for fitness and reflecting on how good they were in their prime.
A few younger players that can run for 90 minutes is what we need at the moment.
He has impressed me too.We could do a lot worse for our defence than Murillo of Nottingham Forest. He’s absolutely brilliant.
Obsession with PL players is what will stop our progress.We need PL players in January not got time to bed in players
Whilst I see your argument, the only players that are achievable are players that are like Nunes, Phillips etc...We need PL players in January not got time to bed in players
Possibly but thats one of the positions we are crying out for.Would have the same limited game time that he has been given at Benfica.
It is finding a more suitable younger players who can actually thrive in our set up that is the catch especially with the current crisis in confidence that is engulfing the club.Possibly but thats one of the positions we are crying out for.
What we need at the moment are players who can stand in as a replacement for our ageing squad members who are having persistent injury problems.
I'm not advising buying a " Yan Couto/ Kabore" but the fact that we had them here and then let them go seems to me to be a bit reckless.
I'm not for bringing on a lot of younger players wholesale but one coming as a direct replacement has to be beneficial.
Christ, to keep Stones company in the treatment room maybeTierney (Kieran not Paul) is fit again...a cheeky loan bid to Arsenal next month?
Would probably end up need both with their injury record. Maybe with our players who can play multiple positions we could him get just the one and still be ok.Being honest getting a proper left back may help with options in central defence. It might be worth a risk to get either Chilwell or Tierney in this window if they are injury free. I just hope we try and get some in this coming window as it's like the news coming out is another injury in a key area if Haaland goes down to an injury screwed up front. The kid coming from Argentina in January what we do with him will he be out on loan straight away or joining in with first team. Our signings from Argentina have been really good over the years fingers crossed we got another here
He's get injured in the car on the way.Tierney (Kieran not Paul) is fit again...a cheeky loan bid to Arsenal next month?
