Noticed he wins some good headers against the CB's despite being small

I'm someone who doesn't think we'll see Wolte as a 10 / SS other than the odd game Do think if we can play with Wissa and Barnes on the wings with Wolte in the middle, we could try to emulate what Liverpool had with Mane, Firmino, Salah Barnes and Wissa as goal threats, coming narrow and making those dangerous runs in behind, Wolte playing them in, and Joelinton also making that run in behind that Schar often finds

I know you're someone who likes his CB's to win their headers Last season Guehi was in the bottom 5 for aerial success, almost as bad as Schar (I think Schar was worst or second worst in the league) I like Guehi and think he'd be brilliant for a lot of clubs, but feel like the teams who aspire to win the CL and league on the regular can't have such a weakness Then again, he has interest from City, Bayern etc, so what do I know 🤷

I don't see us playing with a 10 at all, other than the odd time Look how ineffective Wirtz has been as a 10 for Liverpool, do any big teams play with 2 CM's and 10, who've had sustained success? But let's say I'm wrong. And it's Joelinton who drops out the team with Bruno and Tonali as the 2 CM's, with Miley 3rd choice... Is Nick good enough out of possession, are we really a better team?

Yeah, I was being tongue in cheek tbf Everyone was glazing them as just as Villa are being now. There's always a team everyone is hyping up and over rating Just being petty 😅

Great win that, Palace are very good. I've not forgot that everyone was wanking over them last season and beginning of this season

So people want us to sell Woltemade and Elanga in the summer then?

Get Dayann Methalie and Acheampong and our future defensive options are Tino, Acheampong, Thiaw, Botman, Hall, Methalie Would be an insanely talented group of defenders. Could do a regular 4atb, 5atb, 2 inverted fullback, back 3 with 1 pushed higher etc etc Still need 1 out and out CB and FB to add to it mind.

Are we actually linked to Dayann Methalie? Seen his names quite a few times now

They had absolutely insane talent ID

What needs to happen for 8th to be conference like in 23/24?

Van Disney is absolutely rapid, the ideal defender to hang back for any 1v1 situations

Made me laugh that but if it happened it would be a help 😂

Lamine Camara looks quality, and was the exact type of player I was hoping we'd get for the LCM role Can't see us buying another with us getting Ramsey, unless we know we've fucked up, or we sell Willock, Joelinton or someone

I really liked the idea of him in the summer, but I think with Woltemade now, we couldn't carry another slow / ball to feet player up top, our transition threat has reduced enough as it is Unless we played a totally different way of course

I think with Wolte's style, we need lethal wingers, not unproductive pace merchants like we've got. We need wingers like Mbeumo, Semenyo etc. I've said it before but we need our version of Salah, Mane and Firmino. Transition football is everything these days, and we've lost most of our transition threat from losing Isak. Wolte has other skills which I love, but we need massively increase our threat on the wings and let him do his thing in the middle

My opinion is still the same, Howe has the full season, I think we will find some sort of form, but let's see If we were to change manager, I'd want us to go big and get Inzaghi out of Saudi. Proper elite manager

Would love us to get Kees Smit and Acheampong, those players similar to when we bought Tino and Hall with super high upside Tried to think of a young forward with high potential but don't know any. Ndiaye for Everton looks a player, seen some stats today hat he is top 1/2 for his duel winning and winning possession as a winger... Sounds a Howe player

It must be nice to not be online all the time

Would be gutted to sell Tino and Tonali, if we do then I hope we'd get a sizeable fee for both After last summer. I worry about our ability to replace them, but hopefully we've learned a lesson or 2 If Tino goes then we'd need 2 RB's, and we still need a LB too 😅

His good games always coincide with him running his arse off, thought he was good yesterday Whether he likes it or not, he's not one of them players who can just saunter round, let the game around him happen, and win the game with a bit of magic, like a Salah, Rashford etc The yellow card he got walker reminded me of his breakout season with us, I'm sure he won us like 5 penalties by just winning the ball and the defender being half a second late

I agree with both your points here. Add Rashford, Isco and Ramsey back to their squad and it's better than ours I'd agree And yeah we aren't a PL 65+ point, 60+ game team yet unfortunately I still think our squad as of right now is better than theirs though. Who is performing better is a different story

Yes, definitely Recency bias will sway people though. Before the season, after Villa spent nothing, or after the first handful of games where they were shit, everyone would have said our squad is better, now they're on a run, I'm sure loads think theirs is better I do rate the core of Tielemans, Kamara, Onana and Rogers mind

Beautiful Just hate how the Saudis will gift them millions for him, they need to suffer the impacts of spending £250m on Wirtz / Isak
