It's one thing doing it in the championship, something else entirely in the PL. People could have said that about the entire Sheff. Utd. team. He is not a poor man's Mahrez and it really is time to get over the man. We need penetration on the left hand side and unless we want to spend a huge amount of money on a current top tier player , he will give us that. Edited 6 August 2020 by An Sionnach

Popular Post Ric Flair Posted 6 August 2020 Popular Post Posted 6 August 2020 16 hours ago, An Sionnach said: Benrahma would give us a proper winger who can beat his man with skill rather than shear pace , Marc Albrighton can rarely do that these days and with the Mahrez saga we have lost that weapon. He could also make a useful contribution in scoring terms. Ricci provides that ability on the right so with Said on the left we could have much more balance out wide. And you don't think Barnes can do that for us from the left? The right wing is far more of a priority. Barnes had only a half decent season by his potential and yet still provided 15 goal contributions. There's much more to come from him. We need an elite left footed right winger and then if we can look at competition on the left. 8 1

Having said that attackers can't be too rigid and need to move about and interchange. Vardy has struck up a partnership with Barnes which sees them doing that often. Benrahma appears to have a useful right foot to me so he could drift across at times. Edited 6 August 2020 by An Sionnach

I love the style of Benrahma, wingers come in various different styles but its his creative side that is what we would benefit from. I just don't know where he fits in. We need someone to dictate play in the final 3rd though and if we go for him then I'll be happy to see what he can do for us.
Lambert09 Posted 6 August 2020 Posted 6 August 2020 I genuinely believe many of our fans are over hyping the gap between the prem and the championship. Theres honestly not that much of a difference between the bottom half teams and the top championship teams. Im certain he would be a good signing for us. We need more creative options and this guy screams it. Unfortunately I cant see it happening.

Think every team in the bottom half of the prem would walk the championship, newcastle, west ham, crystal palace despite being seen as not great have more quality in them than the likes of leeds and west brom. Only team that was better off playing in the prem than the championship is sheffield united cos their forwards arent great so they benefited off the space behind.

What I mean, is that if he can score against top championship teams he can do it against at least half the clubs in this league. Look at Maupay as an example, he made the step up pretty well. He's nowhere near on SB's level. 1

jeffschlupp Posted 6 August 2020 Posted 6 August 2020 Article says nothing interesting other than the headline, except Leeds are prepared to make an offer for him. Too many clubs named for that to be anything other than a come and get me push from his agent.

Cant see them selling graelish or him leaving. Too expensive and i dont think being second string at united is attractive enough to make him force his way out of his boyhood club. I can still see Villa signing a winger and a striker though.

They have spent so much already though, which teams do in the first season or so but then you need to make a profit on a few or stop spending and thats a danger for Villa. I suppose they know they've minimum £60m on Grealish if they get in trouble next season.
