I can already see it No point in doing that if you want to qualify for Europe ........... mind you, we haven’t exactly spent a fortune over the past few windows ........

Woodsey1727 Posted 10 May 2019 Share Posted 10 May 2019 I'd go for the right back Aarons from Norwich, then loan him back to Norwich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incredible if there's truth to them. And he's talking about the calibre of player we're after being the likes of Ziyech and Neres. Wonder if that means we're back in for Bailey like before, or Ziyech (though I know he rejected us before)? I do think if we can secure Tielemans then it may set off a chain reaction. It sets out our intent and I think would make us look more attractive a proposition. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can nab another marquee signing as a result, then we're really going for it. Top probably realises that a manager like Rodgers needs to be backed or he could be off as soon as a bigger club comes calling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brendan is a coy Manager no way would he come here if we weren’t prepared to back him, I can see us spending a lot of money. But other clubs may be more enticing propositions, but I feel if we can bring one or two higher calibre players like Tielemans in addition to our team. We have the potential to finish in the Top 6. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We lack that height and physical presence at times and do get bullied in some games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We earn the right to sign top 6 type players by them seeing we have players of the calibre of Maguire, Ricardo, chilwell, maddison and Vardy and that we are managed by Rodgers. That will help.

No I'm a realist thou. Just because you break into the top 6 once you still are not a top 6 team. You have to do this season after season to be considered a top 6 team. But surely you know this ??? I'm hoping you do! When we were crowned champions we was not looked at as the best team in England we was still Leicester the mid table team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we were crowned champions we was not looked at as the best team in England we was still Leicester the mid table team I understand what you are saying. My point is that we have to try and sign a couple of high calibre players if we want to move up the table. If we don't, we won't progress. This is the best opportunity for a while for teams to break in to the top 4-6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the best opportunity for a while for teams to break in to the top 4-6. We need players who can create goals goals and more goals. Everybody in the team has to contribute to more goals. If Hamza and Ndidi are going to play together then they have to be goal threats. No one dimensional players. It's the only way we'll be top 6.

Realistically he would walk into 70% of teams in the premier league I've watched a lot of villa games this season, and there's no way grealish is on par with maddison. Maddison is way ahead in the batting order for a full England cap, and rightly so, and there's also no way they could play in the same team.
