OhForAGreavsie 6,125 Posted June 4, 2024 Share Posted June 4, 2024 1 hour ago, Pizy said: If Villa weren’t coming off of a top 4 finish I’d say Ollie Watkins would be a great signing as our new striker. But much like Newcastle with Isak, Villa as a club will be thinking that they’re “here to stay” as a regular top 4 contender and would never in a million years sell him. But as Newcastle found out and as many “smaller” clubs that get UCL football once in a blue moon find out, once you have to juggle so many games and competitions it’s very hard to get back the following season. I think Villa finish WAY lower next season. If we'd beaten Villa at home in October, we'd now be the ones making plans for the upcoming Champions League campaign. 😞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 19,251 Posted June 4, 2024 Share Posted June 4, 2024 If it’s a straight fight for Sesko between ourselves and Arse I don’t think he’s choosing us. This ownership seems to want players on lower wages than the insane ones we used to hand out so o can’t see us offering a salary that would blow Arsenal’s away like we might have done in years past. Them having CL football + being a ready made title contender that he he can instantly slot into will probably make them more attractive. So if he goes there our options become even more limited in an already scarce striker market. Reddish-Blue 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be taking on UCL + PL (solid top 4 run), you need some proper depth in your first team squad. 2 hours ago, Pizy said: I think Villa finish WAY lower next season. Depends on if Emery can keep the core group together and then add some depth. I feel like they did have a decent run this season with PL and the European league competition (getting to the latter stages, not having enough to get past the eventual champions). I'd still expect them to be around the top 6... City/Arsenal will be the top 2, if Slot figures it out quickly Liverpool shouldn't be dropping from top 4....that leaves us, Spurs, Villa, Newcastle and United battling for the 4th spot.

I'm sort of surprised that we're not linked to any experienced strikers (in that Giroud/Demba Ba mould) who could come in and put in a decent shift and take the pressure off Jackson/Palmer/Nkunku (as he gets fully fit).

OneMoSalah 9,089 Posted June 4, 2024 Share Posted June 4, 2024 (edited) Want to spend more efficiently? I hope this is a joke. Why not do that from day 1? Absolute helmets. They literally are just winging it. I mean how has it has taken them the best part of spending £1bn to realise they should look to spend more efficiently? And even more so, surely having gone from 3rd place to 12th place to 6th place during the 2 and a bit seasons of their ownership they could have seen that throwing money at something doesn’t always work? No? Was their whole mantra when they came in not that they felt Roman had spent too much money in a unsustainable way on players, wages & agent fees also? Honestly cannot wait for these to pack up and fuck off 😂 Edited June 4, 2024 by OneMoSalah Fernando 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 19,251 Posted June 4, 2024 Share Posted June 4, 2024 We’re probably gonna get some striker that most of us haven’t really heard of from a small club. Someone who is super young and unproven. Which is of course the opposite of what is needed. Laylabelle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However considering how close it ended up being, it's frustrating that Villa undeservedly took points off us in both games as a result of very debatable VAR decisions.
