Summer transfer, gossip, speculation and the usual butter ollocks thread

[CT Villan]

I don't see the point in predicting the number of goals scored by individuals because it doesn't really matter much.

If we play the same 433 we did after the lockdown then 10-15 from the defence, similar from the midfield and 20-30 from the striker/wingers gets us to the 50-60 goals that normally sees you safely into midtable.

After all this is a transfer thread about bringing in specific players as well as the specific positions.

This thread is 99%+ made-up nonsense as it is year after year.

as low as that do you think ?

99.99%+ would have been more accurate.

and it's all 120% gospel, innit ?

You can thank Twatter and the imbeciles that believe all the bullshit posted on there for that.

I wouldn’t give up on Samatta yet, anymore than I would Wesley. Players need, and deserve, some time to settle. In Samatta’s case parachuting into a club in free fall, in a new country, and then facing an unprecedented period of lockdown, it’s hardly surprising he struggled.

Exactly why Trez will double his figures in goals and assists next year
Thinking 12-14 goals
And 4-6 Assists ...

I'd be a teensy bit surprised if that happens.

I think 12-14 might be a stretch but he does have a few goals  in him.

10-12 say for Trez would be great. I felt he could have had 10 last season as can identify several opportunities where he could have scored if more composed so that 6 goals could have made to 10.

Yes giving example of the doubling of Gola's and assists is ambitious . And getting anything above 12+ goals for any of our players this season would be something . However McGinn Grealish El Gahzi and Trez can improve on their numbers then obviously it's a great help to Villa progress.

Of those I can only see Jack as a 15+ goal player .
Add a 15+ goal striker /wide forward then that's 30 goals between 2 players.

Say Watkins becomes ours and he hits 15+ goals!

We then only hoping for
Wesley 5+
Samatta 5+
Davis 5+
Trezeguet 5+
McGinn 5+
El Ghazi 5+
Hourihane 5+

So the importance to get the right goal scoring  forward coupled with the need for the existing players to step on up improving goal figures would see major rise in getting more points from games I would summise!

Up the villa

You've been banging the drum for Trezeguet since he signed and yet he was utter gash for 90% of the season.  Chipping in with a couple of, admittedly important,  goals at the end doesn't change that.  At the same time you were highly critical of Wesley who actually looked a player at times and was on target for double figures had he stayed fit. 

It's all very well saying he should have had 10 with a bit more composure but that's exactly his main (but not only) problem - he's ok at whacking it home if given no time but any time to think and he shits himself.  I'm not sure composure in front of goal is something he is suddenly going to acquire.  IF he does miraculously develop some composure (as well as a bit of bottle), then yes double figures would not be out of the question.  But based on what I've seen so far I'm baffled as to why you are such a fanboy and will be very surprised if he gets into double figures next year in goals or assists.  In fact I'd be hoping that our new signings mean he rarely gets near the starting eleven.

and gets repeated on here.

I tend to agree with Vill I An about Trez, at least in as much as i think he might have a few more goals in him next season (though maybe not quite 14!) Less convinced about El Ghazi showing a massive improvement, as he should already be fairly settled.

If the new striker, whoever that is, gets 10-12 I'll be delighted. I don't think there's many 14+ goal strikers in the league, so hitting those heights in their first season would be remarkable.

[Footy-Vill]

Yes have to be decent team and or converter of chances for 15+ goals as not many get above that level... And not many do get double figures consistently.

Last season
Abraham scored 15
Pukki 11 goals
Maupay 10 goals
Haller 7 goals
McBurnie 6 goals
Adams 4 goals
Joelinton 2 goals

Mitrovic figures:
 11 goals last time in Prem , 1 , 9

Benteke stats last 3 seasons 2, 1 and 3
And in 4 out of 8 seasons he's hit double figures 19, 10, 13, 15

The only thing I ever look at on Twitter is John Percy's one, as he tends to be pretty reliable

[itmustbe_it is!]

Newcastle signnig Rob Holding on season long loan.

I'd be on to them about Fabian Schar, experienced ball playing CB. Think he has 1 year left on his deal up there and they only signed him for about 3m.

Stevie Bruce and friends (Agnew and Clements) seems to be collecting centre backs up there!
Yes as well as Schar there is
Lascelles
Fernandez
Are very own Ciran Clark
Lejeune
Dummet

All played centre back

Bit ironic considering the mess he got us in at that position

He is probably a bit paranoid about it now 🤔

I wish he'd post a few more times about Villa. 256 pages and nothing close to a signing at the moment.  I'm sure we are preparing, weighing up, getting ready to make bids this week though.

If he posted more, it would be mere speculation, and the value of what he did Post would be diluted.
I like the fact he can be replied upon, it means I can ignore everything else.

Quality not quantity in everything really 🤔

He posted yesterday about being in advanced talks with Forest for Matty Cash with a £12m bid made and Watkins probably going through this week, so hopefully the first two are incoming very soon.

Nixon is running a story tomorrow. 

We are offering £70k per week to beat Fulham to Watkins.  We are still interested in Benrahma and Henry. And apparently we are going to offer £10k per week for Jack to stay.

I'd take £10k but I think I might get more at Sheffield Wednesday (if I was any good).
