Much more enthusiastic about El Khannouss tbh 

 

 

Completely agree. Ramsey is much more similar to what we already have. El Khannous is someone that can break low blocks(or seems like the player that would be able to) If we dont address this issue then I can’t see us solidifying our place in the champions league.

Don't Villa need warm, home-grown bodies for Europa? Not sure if they can spare selling him.

[Sima]

Fuck off Ornstein.

 

Lock.

[HayDen Traces]

He's Willock mark 2. Gets up and down the pitch, great athleticism but injury prone and poor end product.

I suspect this is agent fuelled to improve his new contract at Villa.

[Menace]

I popped over to Villa talk to have a look - they're not really arsed if they lose him but they seem to suspect its agent driven/hes about to sign a new contract/not renew and he's not got long left on his current deal.

Thankfully now that Ornstein has completely lost the plot, John Percy is a much better source, so let's hope it's el khannouss we're after.

Ideal is we get both Ramsay and El K and find someone to take Willock. Dreamland maybe, but at least the club seem to know what we need. 

[Sibierski]

This is such a meh transfer, which adds to the other meh transfers.

 

Couldn’t get him when PSR pressure was there, so pay more (like Thaiw).

Says it all really. 

[Kimbo]

Wouldn’t turn my nose up at Ramsey as he strengthens us, but he’s a Willock upgrade rather than a player that will give us something different or a player with a very high ceiling.

[gdm]

So no El khannouss then?

[Kanj]

Maybe both?

[Ikon]

I’d be ok with him if we get two. Good player but I prefer reliable players. More importantly, we need reliable players.

Yeah I’m totally flat about this as well.

Would rather not give Villa any money to help them out of their PSR mess.

Come on man lads. Willock and Longstaff were pap, we're looking at a situation where we won't be using either of them. Bringing a competent player off the bench instead of a stiff is going to be massive for us. Not to mention how much better our league cup etc teams will be.

Not sure we can afford that. Surely ? Plus squad places must be pretty limited now

Exactly this. I really rate Willock when he’s fit and able to have a run of games. But we need players that we can reliably rotate from Wednesday to Sunday

[Matt1892]

Debatable if he’s better than Willock.

I think we can. It’s only about £50m net right now since January. Add these two with Wissa and that’s under £150m spent 

[ryanegg]

I remember him looking real dangerous a few seasons back. Like many have said, it's possibly agent driven, but would take him at the right price.

He is better. His fitness might not be good enough/reliable though. That’s my concern.

I don't think so, he can actually impact PL games. Fitness issues obvious apart.

Would prefer the bloke from Leicester

 

If nothing else, his injury record is far better.
