tajjuk Posted 23 February, 2020 Share Posted 23 February, 2020 It's fair to say that we've had a fair few fails in the scouting department in recent years, but I think its time to to give them some credit, obviously Danny Ings has been a great signing so far, but Djenepo looks like a potential gem and Armstrong has proved to be quite the bargain. Just to put some in perspective, Villa have spent £143 million on transfers this year. Our starting 11 yesterday that played them off the park cost around £85 million.

Heisenberg Posted 23 February, 2020 Share Posted 23 February, 2020 Most of that went on Mings, Wesley, Targett, Heaton and Luiz Mings has an England call up and looks generally solid (few injuries) Wesley scored a few early on then v bad injury Heaton injured Luiz has looked very good in some games, young player with potential Targett is solid enough for £11m (that’s probably the equivalent of £2m a few years ago) The rest have been fairly modest (£5m) gambles which they’ll likely recover when sold on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colinjb Posted 23 February, 2020 Share Posted 23 February, 2020 Waiting for mentions of stopped clocks being right twice a day. A mixture of poor coaching and management has masked the ability of many of our signings over the last 3 years. That's not to say they are all redeemable (Elyounoussi) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ever present in the worst defence in the league. Was all the over the show yesterday and if it wasnt for Reina it could have been embarassing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALWAYS_SFC Posted 23 February, 2020 Share Posted 23 February, 2020 Mings is average Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
