I’ve been calling for us to look at him as our striker since January.. He can flat out score has great hold up play and strength.

Read that back to yourself, you are deluded.

sure, puting Gallagher on wing, playing Madueke, puting Disasi on Doku, all great calls. Jackson sucks, but people defending Poch all season baffles me.

Aston Villa will be keen to sign Joshua Zirkzee during the summer transfer window to play alongside Ollie Watkins instead of replacing him, according to Alan Hutton.

https://www.astonvillanews.co.uk/2024/04/23/aston-villa-ollie-watkins-exit-prediction-emerges-amid-new-joshua-zirkzee-transfer-update/

The England international has been in excellent form under Unai Emery this season, scoring 19 goals and laying on 12 assists in 33 league matches but his displays won’t have gone unnoticed by teams at the top of the Premier League.

Villa are expected to add to their forward line come the end of the season, with reports linking the Villans with a potential £60million move for Bologna forward Zirkzee who has scored 11 goals in 30 Serie A games this term [Il Resto del Carlino newspaper, 10 April].

While Hutton believes Watkins will be looking over his shoulder if Zirkzee makes the switch to Villa Park this summer, he doesn’t think that the 28-year-old will be under any pressure for his place if a new striker is signed.

“I think if you look at how Villa play, it can be two up front,” Hutton told Villa News.

“Normally it is Watkins and another. McGinn has played up there, Bailey can play in there, Diaby can play in there so it might be more of that.

 

“It lightens the burden for Ollie Watkins but I always think as a player it’s funny, say I was at right back and the club were looking at a £25million right-back you’re thinking he’ll be playing.

“Your squad always has to get stronger, you can’t stand still. Ollie Watkins, for me, is not under any pressure at all. He’s been absolutely outstanding, the go-to guy, his goals, his assists, he’s had a fantastic season.

“This will be to help him out, to either play alongside him or whatever, but £60million is a lot.”

My personal preference is for a manager who is very particular in the playing style, one of these modern managers. One who will be super annoying regarding players characteristics and whether someone would work on his system, or not. He would ask for very specific characteristics and let go of players who don't fit that style.

That way, maybe, just maybe, we may be able to disrupt "the project" just long enough to get a team going. 😅

The only chance is to identify someone whose style fits our squad. As said on the game thread, no way we can afford another rebuild.

I’m happy we are 9th. It would be better for the new manager to have a season without Europe. Our squad cannot compete playing once a week so we can forget the levels required for European games.

I hope the club is doing its checks. Liverpool, West Ham are in the market for a manager and are already talking to Amorim, Slot. Rumours about United approaching Tuchel. I hope the club is working on its approaches to act if a good manager is available.

yeah good point. Unless we are able to move some players, which will be hard. The ones with market value are also the ones we'd want to keep.

I still don't think this squad is coachable as in it can't possible compete in the PL. Even if the perma-injured players come back and stay healthy, we'd still be a few signings short from being able to compete esp in attack--Martinelli and Jesus were sitting on the bench yesterday.

Arne Slot would've been my preffered option, but he's off to Liverpool. 

I wonder how Gian Piero Gasperini would work.
