Archer looks a great finisher .. question Is will russ use him as a starter as the lack of physical presence with archer could be a issue for the manager (not me) I’m hoping we go back to a three with him in the middle today

I’d give it about a 6 whilst ramsdale is actually the first absolutely proven top class buy we have had for a long time, I think we are still very very light with the striker situation .. I like archer but not sure I trust that russ will use him as a consistent starter . so far bar the ones we had last season only BBD and suga are making the team fernandes could well break through though and looks the pick of the rest but to me just feels like we have padded the Squad more then bought players that can walk into the side and improve it and striker position looks scary

I did say probably not definitely .. even players we have loaned to the championship the only real success in recent times was tella .. do you think are we are gonna sign some cheap Brazilians who don’t look that great in the first place send them off to goztepe for a year and they send us back the next Ronaldinho ? Didn’t lis just have a good season on loan ? We are in desparate need for a keeper yet he’s not in the picture is he ? at the moment it seems Sr main goal is to use us to help the likes of goztepe to sign players that they wouldn’t usually which will make their other clubs more valuable in the future .. still seems a far stretch that we ourselves will see much benefit.

I don’t see this multi club bs helping us anytime soon .. wouldn’t mind so much but we are already shopping cheap compared to the rest of the league including promoted clubs like Ipswich .. using our money to sign players to loan out (that probably ain’t gonna come back to us good enough anyway) seems very one way street .. We ain’t seeing goztepe sign players to loan to us .. it’s leeching off of a already poor (in comparison to the rest of the league) club

He played 83 minutes all from the bench .. suppose that makes him shit according to the geniuses on here .. if your not playing you are rubbish is the usual wisdom .. what broja needs is a club willing to give him consistent starts like we did and then I think we will see how good he is

Did you not watch him when he was with us ? And you didn’t think he was composed or fast ? I’m not too bothered about what happened since because he’s been at Chelsea which isn’t a easy team to break into he’s still only a kid and the potential is super high

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
