Skeletor Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Thread title needs updating to avoid giving people the impression we might be signing an attacking player capable of scoring goals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burn may be an improvement on Clark, but won’t improve the starting 11. He’d be possibly 4th choice for me behind Lascelles, Schar and Fernandez. I won’t go into Wood discussion again. Schär is massively overrated by our fanbase. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Targett has been a regular for a good Villa side. Lewis has 2-3 good games. Ritchie is shocking, Manquillo can do the job, Dummett is Dummett.

Targett was Villa's player of the season last year, and as Brummie has already said he's disappointed he's leaving, he's easily an improvement of Dummett, Ritchie and Lewis. Burn is easily better then Lascelles, and Fernandez is injured. He's also in shit hot form. He improves us considerably. Wood feels a whole we desperately needed filling, and is much more effective then Gayle, did we pay over the odds, absolutely, slightly uninspiring maybe, is he a bad signing, no.

Shearergol Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Burn, on current form, comes in as our best centre back imo. Targett’s also miles better than Dummett. I have absolutely no issue with the work we’ve done strengthening the defence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Butcher Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 We'll score more goals with Bruno in the side, I'm sure of it. His presence alone will improve our attacking and defensive play. Everyone will look better, and we're going to be able to control games with him in the side. We've had a really good window, imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 It's either sheer arrogance or a lack of footballing knowledge if you think Burn, Targett and Wood don't improve us. It's not because they are great either, it's because our squad was THAT bad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Player of the season during a season they spent fighting relegation. Disappointed he’s leaving because he wanted him as backup to Digne, not because he’s any good. You missed Manquillo off, is he easily an improvement on him? Lascelles isn’t being dropped. Plus, Burn is Brighton’s 3rd choice CB only playing due to injuries. He’s also playing in a very good and organised defensive unit and not our shambles. “Shit hot form” equalling about 10 games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going off his highlights videos, he is all about sliding in through balls. We don’t really have anyone to get on them though. We signed a big target man who thrives on crosses but don’t play that way and don’t get crosses in. It’s a shame we haven’t managed to bring a player in who would thrive on Bruno’s strength.

cubaricho Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 I think it’s going unsaid too that all the new signings are up for it mentally, which is a huge upgrade on the majority of our loser-mentality squad. The signings may not all be of the quality we had hoped for, but the positive mentality alone could be what keep us up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lush Vlad Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 If we signed a forward. This window would have been a 9 or a 10. Probably sat at about 7/10, for me. Better than I was expecting and ultimately in a much better position than Jan 1st. I just worry we don’t have enough goals or creativity in the side. Hopefully the new signings can give everyone a lift and perhaps even a kick up the arse some of these players need. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
