They are in the exact position we were under Poch
Believing being close in previous years means it’s only a matter of time before they win it
Wrong. Have to have to continue to freshen it up.
@afcamir11 Martinelli and Trossard i can see suitors for the fees we will want for them, but Odegaard is probably valued internally at £70-80m and i dont see anyone at that price.
Can he maybe show some positional discipline and stops dropping between the CBs to receive the ball ? Also can he remember he’s a CF and stop pretending he’s Pirlo or Tom Brady also he’s not even the best player for England in the current squad.
Please can we not have morons in the boozers asking for him to be dropped after the first couple of games. Happens every tournament. He’s the best player to have ever worn the England shirt.
@afcamir11 Only got 2 years on his deal and his agent has already pushed for an exit. We would have to sell Martinelli Odegaard Jesus and Trossard for the wage and squad space for 3 attackers and I haven’t even seen a credible link for any of them.
Obviously a good window can help massively and Ekitike and Elliot missing but how do you spend like 400m last summer to end up with this ? Wingers and defence is so suspect.
@fdiogocamelo@alexfrco It depends on the evolution of football we are in a man-to-man era rather than zonal Arsenal have been good at predicting and adapting to the new meta ahead of the curve hence the 424 shift gearing up. Unfortunately for Øde he’s more suited to zonal football.
@NidgeHattersSK@FillyKris But that’s the point tho?
Spending 7m in 1995 when clubs only had £20-30m revenue is obviously going to be far more of a big deal for the league than £50m signing when clubs have revenues of £600m
@afcamir11 Whilst I agree it’s not a strength, he has the ability to pass effectively just not something he has to utilise very much at Villa as he’s usually on the end of things.
Few individual plays fucked me up more than watching Rogers hit that first touch, Trent-quality out-ball with his weak foot to Rashford. If he can do this, what can't he do?
@Tudgeinho He can definitely play at LW and he’s shown that plenty for Villa he’s a player who can rotate nicely in matches with Eze. If we want to improve the attack we need more players who can be a handful for their man and generate chances more often.
Spurs getting probably have about 150-200m to spend
Van Hecke -£45m
Savio-£50m
Sensei- Free transfer is a decent start
If they get Scott , GK and a good striker Villa ,Chelsea, Bournemouth
etc should be concerned for that Europa/ UCL spot.
@essyybaby@Arsenal £10m on one of England's top prospects especially in a position like winger. Even if he spends a couple years on loan to gain experience we would be silly not to invest in superstar talent especially if its such a small fee theres almost no downside.
