Summer 2022 Transfer Thread

Winks is too lightweight ffs.

We blatantly need a couple of bigger,  stronger players. We are way too lightweight.

Winks or McTominay is my nightmare deadline day signings.

Would be similar to when we signed Djemba Djemba or Lambert had that spell signing  Senderos, Richardson and Joe Cole within a few weeks.

He still wouldn't drop McGinn either.

Agreed.

We need a couple of beats that actually allow us to win the battle.  Sidelining Nakamba on days like today is just bonkers.

So annoying seeing Bissouma just warming the bench for Spurs.

His physicality and premier league experience would've been ideal to drop in alongside Kamara.

I just don't understand how we can be close to signing Bentancur in January and also bidding for Bissouma and then just suddenly decide Kamara is enough.

We saw in games like today the midfield structure is just going to leave him badly expose. We have to go 4-2-3-1 next game and put Luiz next to Kamara in the pivot and see how it goes, should've done that at half time today.

Oh goody another winger to add to our unused collection.

This site melted the day we signed the Djemba twins.  Not because people were so outraged. The majority seemed to feel we had signed a gem (or Djem).

Plenty were chuffed with the Joe Cole signing as well. The OS had a graphic showing how many leagues and FA Cups he'd won, as if we were buying those. Sadly Joe Cole ver 2014 would break down after 10 minutes of mild exertion.

Spend whatever it takes to sack SG off and bring in a manager worthy of the job title. If that means Pochettino then so be it. It’s totally pointless throwing more money at this squad with the current management running the shit show.

I have no idea why we are buying Sarr.

It's a bit of a strange signing. Think someone else mentioned it being a club signing rather than a Gerrard signing, which I think there's some truth to.

Might well be wrong, but the only logical explanations I have are either that Gerrard is planning to change his style/tactics - or more likely the club are, and that'll be at the expense of Gerrard.

I was expecting to see a bit of an exodus of wingers/wide players as they just don’t seem to fit the current system so this is an interesting one. Hopefully Sarr signing for us points to a rethink as we currently don’t have the players for it and everybody knows it - players, fans and unfortunately for us, the opposition too!

I admire your optimism but I suspect it merely points to panic

Youri Tielemans left out of Leicester's team v Southampton because he was 'not in the right frame of mind' .
Out of contract next summer looks like he may be on the move this summer.

One we do want 100%

Just read Man U are in for him, so don’t think it’s happening

[Rigadon]

Another problem now is that any player who is 50/50 might look at Gerrard's position as being precarious and so moving to the Villa a risk to their career.  It's a fucking right mess.

Nice hearing that from you Vinnie.

I’d be delighted with that one, although does seem a bit unlikely - but then I guess Coutinho was.

Outfought, outplayed, weak and soft are common descriptions of Villa’s players.

How novel would it be to introduce some mean, brick-outhouse types with a minimum height of 6 feet and a pathological hatred of allowing an opposition player to go by them?

I had in mind Oriol Romeu (DM) and Jan Bednarek/ Duje Ćaleta-Car (CB) for starters, with the addition of Shaun Teale as a specialist defensive coach.
