I suspect it'll just be Wissa and that's us done if Isak doesn't leave

In all fairness, if Isak doesn’t leave, that’s what everyone would have went for at the start of the summer.

Yeah but an Isak likely to play.

If he stays, he’ll play. He can’t go half the season not playing with him wanting a move away, more money, and Sweden needing to qualify for the World Cup whilst his rival up front for them is banging them in for Arsenal.

Very happy with this like, along with Elanga will really add a sureness of touch and ability to carry the ball into dangerous areas that sometimes breaks down with players who have less technical ability. 


Probably just the close up/pitch level angle of the camera. But that video a few pages back. He likes a lot of little touches off either foot and driving with the ball. But what I loved the most is how he always had his head up and was looking for a pass or an option all the while. Scanning I believe the statto nerds on social media call it. 
 

I know it should be a bit of a prerequisite for a footballer at the highest level. But we have had our fair share of head down or headless chicken types over the years and you still see it so often.

It's been a brutal summer, but get the centre forward situation sorted and it's been a tidy summer, we've landed on our feet.

It would be funny when we look back and it turns out this was a class summer

If he gets back to his best then he will replace Joelinton. Just to add, it’s a squad game and rotation is needed as well as different players for different games and so on. Hopefully this gamble pays off and he stays injury free. Same with Joelinton. Good to have options. I guess “replace isn’t the right word”.

He’ll be on the bench for Wolves unless something drastic changes (We sign Samu or of similar ilk AND we receive £150m+)

Ramsdale > Dubs

Ramsey > Longstaff 

Thiaw > Kelly

Elanga > Almiron

 

Get a striker or two in and this has been a good window.

 

Wasn't about getting 4/5 top tier first team players, we've already a solid first 11, great to have really improved our bench options.

What i like about this is that he has both the technical and the physical and whilst his overall potential has yet to bear fruit, it feels like if it does he will be something of the complete package.

 

He looks like one of those players who finds space between lines and drives at the opposition. Certainly more the Joelinton/Willock mould.

If his injuries are behind him and Eddie can get him back to his form of two years ago, this is a very good signing

In the future it may look a good window and certainly we can have a good season but im reluctant to truly believe anything about this summer is "good", simply because the affect its likely to have had on preparation and morale.

 

If we somehow have a good start to this season, it will be a miracle.

All I’m hearing from Villa fans is how much potential he has. If ever there was a player to use the Eddie Howe Midas touch on it’s him. Think he’ll be great for us

 

 

I have feeling a lot of fans are going to be surprised at how good he is, as long as he hasn't lost any of the acceleration which made him a prospect when he first came on the scene.

This isn't aimed at your or Ramsey - more so I'm just thinking out loud - but when a team signs a player whos a little injury prone and people say, "he'll be good if they can keep him fit".... can anyone think of any player that suddenly no longer became injury prone after signing for a new team?
