Say what you want about broja but he has killer attributes .. lightning fast for a big man, strong and also a really composed finisher .. people bang on about him not doing much since us but if he had he would be a 70m player and way out of our league anyway ..

Think we need to bring the 4-3-3 back,BBD is a weird one spends most of his time wide but doesn’t really create much from out there AA was quite isolated imo. Aribo again great at holding the ball up but did get caught out for the goal but think he’s an important player for us Dibling was very good when he came on running at players but we left it very to make the changes

Happy to see Aribo starting I think he can be our best midfielder this season if we stick with him

Well whatever way you wanna dress it up .. it’s true we are spending less on players then our rivals and I don’t mean in a net spend quantity over quality way ..Ipswich and everyone else are willing to pay higher fees, we hear all this talk and excuses made that we can’t compete due to ffp and need to sell to buy but here we are doing deals to help goztepe .. ok I might have gone a bit far by saying Sr ade dodgier then gao but he wasn’t signing players to loan to other teams.. It’s just a bit frustrating when we can’t compete with teams like Ipswich for players yet we are willing to use funds to help another club

This is starting to take the piss tbh.. we can’t even compete with Ipswich on transfer fees but are happy to keep feeding goztepe .:we are taking less for Alcaraz to take a inferior player ti loan out .. SR are as dodgy as gao

I agree with this a lot .. we have plenty on the wings .. and likes of edozie sam amo or sule could still blow up and are full of potential ., Fraser also has great end product and would be cheap.. so can’t really see the big deal with Clarke .. we could do moukoko for 15-18m

I’d be surprised if we don’t try for moukoko seems in our price bracket, record breaking youngest dortnund goal scorer .. seems the type we would be all over

Yeah agree love broja and always thought he has absolutely top draw potential . That 30m could look like peanuts soon.. exciting young strikeforce Ipswich have now . I have a feeling we might snatch moukoko

Bar jwp because of the free kicks goals from the midfield isn’t something we have really had much of for a long time anyway .. I’m getting to the stage I think Aribo should be our creative midfielder he looked great Saturday and has all the tools .. We seem to be doing our usual thing of spend our money everywhere but the places we actually need to.

The thought of only loaning a keeper because you don’t want to put someone in front of bazunu, and after giving new contracts to McCarthy and lumley is pure lol .. You wouldn’t wish these decisions on your worst enemy 😳

What did everyone make of Edozie yesterday ? I thought he did look absolutely brimming with confidence running at tino at every opportunity .i think he was a handful even though nothing quite cane off . Wasn’t it him that got the cross in for archers header near the end ? Tad frustrating but I liked his confidence think he gave us something differant to BBD though who tended to drift wide anyway

I’m genuinely excited by archer as he looks a real natural finisher But I think his success may be down to how much russ wants this type of striker as a starting option .. from what I gather he’s the type that is not gonna hold the ball up so much or be a physical presence like che, instead archer is a fox 🦊 in the box. i think if russ gives him starts every week he will probably do double digits for us but if he’s more like the Mara squad player then it could end up the same way as Mara did

Kinda hard to judge us from that game, the Bbd incident getting the red card gave us the opportunity to play our possession football.. then obviously after they scored from McCarthy’s horrific pass we had all the ball whilst they defended in numbers which is always quite hard to break down. Thought Aribo put in a Motm performance yesterday he was pulling strings, playing disguised clever defence splitting passes very clever use of the ball. He’s got a real intelligent playmaker side to his game that he doesn’t yet get enough credit for

I think his first touch looks amazing also,just seems to stick to him and in a second he gets in a position to shape to shoot .. it all looks so natural and like he knows exactly what he’s gonna do next .. kinda polar opposite of che

Do you think archer will be a regular starter though ? That 433 with Diaz and arms wide seems the only way to get all three in . archer giving me kinda ings vibes looks great In the boro video below love the celebration too

Been reading villa forums about archer and gotta say I quite like the sound of him personally.. his main strength seems to be his finishing and we haven’t really had a top notch finisher since Danny ings, also looks to have a really good first touch judging by the videos .. a BBD Archer Armstrong front three would give us a unique front three with no actual traditional wingers but all can score

In my opinion regarding players losing their value a lot of it also seems to come down to manager stability also ..abk and Alcaraz both looked red hot prospects under differant managers .. the likes of Carrillo and tall pall both signed just before changing managers and then both ended up outcast .. A lot of times Our bigger money signings tend to lose their place in the team to cheaper signings or loans .. which obviously decreases their value only the players getting regular minutes really hold their value for us .. sometimes it’s not about ability and someone like Martin prefers a jack Stephens to abk or smallbone over a Alcaraz it can be horses for courses

I was referring to increasing our spending ie take the van dijk money and go make 25-40 m signings like Brighton are .. we just believed we could keep shopping at Aldi and turning them into stars

Even when we had our really golden period of good recruitment and expensive player sales including Vvd, we never really kicked on like Brighton are trying to do here and spent said money on more expensive players .. we always tend to try go for the cheap rough diamonds but when it doesn’t work you just get left with a load of cheap squad filler that nobody wants .. really hope if we do make any more signings we go all out to secure players who are gonna instantly improve the first team not another wave of Squad filler shite We need some quality

Agree 100 percent .. people try to use our netspend as we are competing and spending money .. in my book buying a bunch of cheap squad filler players or players we can loan to goztepe is not competing at all .. anything over 20m or 100 k wages we get a nosebleed whilst for the rest of the league it’s normal

Rules out out then 😃

Yeah but we have been an established premiership club for a long time with premiership revenue same as Leicester we had one season down on parachute payments and now we are back . not really sure how you can compare that with tiny little Luton who have been out of the top flight for over 30 years and mainly a league one or two club ?

Netspend is a different thing .. but we are still trying to buy players in the same price range as we where ten years ago .. Brighton and Brentford have both stepped up and bid 27 and 28 m for cavalho and o Riley ,. That’s what I mean by not competing we are clearly shopping in a more bargain basement way Ad it stands we have last years championship side for the premiership . (Swap bbd for che ) are you happy with that ?

These kinda fees are starting to be the going rate in the prem now . I’m not expecting us to compete finically with the big boys,, but when you got teams like West Ham who you used to be on a par with spending double and can’t even compete with the likes of Brighton Brentford Fulham etc is there even much point in us being in the premiership ?

Your missing my point though .. what I’m saying is when your manager is openly saying you need to sell, Blackmore is saying players have bad attitudes and. Then players are getting left out of pre season .: this is putting ourselves over a barrel with anyone who might be interested in the player as they know we are desperate and in ABK.s case we now tarnished his character do you see Celtic leaving Oriley out of pre season even though he’s a 25-30m player that can leave or Liverpool with carvalho ?? We make ourselves look desparate it’s not a very good poker face when trying to get a good deal
