Billy the Kidd Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 Always amazes me when people use the word 'coup' when discussing players coming to a club. It is likely the word is never used by people ever in their lives apart from in football. Just found it funny, keeps cropping up. No offence to anyone specifically who has used it btw... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give it to Ron Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 14 minutes ago, Bob60 said: Funny isn't it how opinions of a player differ when we all watch the same games. To me he always turns back and passed back, rarely creates anything and constantly slowed our play down. Would be the first player I would replace. Couldn’t disagree more he is the one midfielder that does go forward and takes people on. He is the only one with any strength and doesn’t just gift it. Scored some valuable goals and I celebrated that one at Brum like mad 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could've just chucked it in and collected a wage when he fell out of favour but he's worked hard to make himself important again. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaptopSaint Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 (edited) I think plan C should be Tyler Dibling. I know I know… he’s only twelve and we’ve had plenty of false dawns before (paging Alex Jankewitz - please report to the transfer window thread). But he looks like the real deal to me - if him and Charlie mean we can keep our AM money in our pocket we can spend on a keeper and a number 9, as well as Wee Man and the Dortmund wonderkid. Let’s go. Edited August 13 by LaptopSaint 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is best served by being a backup option and see if he can force himself into contention. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farmer Saint Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 (edited) So Wan Bissaka confirmed to Wham - feels like KWP will stay then. Interesting to me as I am a big proponent of the potential 5-2-3, 3-4-3 we could play with roaming full backs - KWP on the left and Sugar on the right. Feels exciting to have those two bombing forward with 3 strikers (if we get another in - if not a very advanced midfielder to break into the box late) to get on the end of the balls in.

Saint Scott Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 (edited) 4 hours ago, Fabrice29 said: Also Royal leaving Spurs frees up a position in their squad for a versatile full back… They have Porro and Spence on the right. Easily forgotten is Archie Gray who they've spent a hefty fee on early this summer. Udogie, Van de Ven, Davies & Reguilon (likely off on loan again though) that can play on the left. I'm not convinced Spurs is a viable option for KWP Edited August 13 by Saint Scott Grammar 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy the Kidd Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 I thought Archer at Sheff Utd technically was a loan, or that it converted to a loan and he became Villa's player. Not sure if that means he can be loaned, but it may be possible if the sale last year wasnt technically a sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hypochondriac Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 Not sure about Archer at all. Had this from May: In a season where we have signed Traore, Larouchi, Thomas and Grbic, Cameron Archer has managed to be the worst of the lot. A simply pathetic and embarrassing performance from him today today - worst I’ve ever seen from a forward. Lazy, slow, getting drawn into the ball and cramping the room we have to play, complete lack of movement in the box, not hitting space, not making an effort at the back post, not challenging for loose balls, not closing down, terrible in possession losing it every time. Completely disinterested. Don’t let the fucking door hit you on your way out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
