In six months we may be raving about Webster, Adelakun and Marriott. Who knows? Was gonna say this as well. Be good to have another option an right back as well. So Willis could be a good option.

ashton_fan Posted June 27, 2018 Report Share Posted June 27, 2018 Sounds like a good replacement for Flint given his age. One of the best things about Flint though, when did he miss a game through injury? Only Brownhill could match his fitness in our squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Move them on for a profit and go again with fresh blood who will take responsibility Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A fire sale is what Villa are facing. We are not selling because we are in a financial crisis but in part to avoid the same fate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can imagine that happening, but I hope it doesn’t. When playing at RB Wright always looked liked a central defender filling in as a RB due to injuries. He never looked like a natural full back. If the club wants to push for promotion, which I’m not sure it does, then square pegs in round holes just won’t do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCFCGav Posted June 27, 2018 Report Share Posted June 27, 2018 This sounds exciting, championship experience, with time to improve. Could be great for us. Now we need to look at full backs. Pisano, Kelly and Vyner will be fine I’m a couple of years, but maybe not yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snufflelufagus Posted June 27, 2018 Report Share Posted June 27, 2018 1 hour ago, JoeAman08 said: Is it a fire sale if we are getting good fees for them? It has been a rough few months but it was pretty inevitable we would lose a few players. The injury thing is a concern for sure but selling a 29 year old for 7m and buying a 23 year old for half the fee with scope to be better than the man you sold is surely a positive? Think we need to be creative to be succesful with our funds. Like having a really good CB pairing even if we have to rest them 10-12 games. Then having good enough back up to win you games against some of the lesser teams. A Webster Baker pairing could be a top pairing with Wright amd Hegeler or even another signing like Clarke could get the job done for a 46 game season I can't think of many promoted teams who rotated there centre back pairing.

I know it is against the grain but don’t see why it can’t be done. Especially at the pace we started the season. Either have a big squad and rotate or small squad and hope you don’t get too many injuries or suspensions. We currently have a large squad and it should be used. Also, Baker and seemingly Webster are going to miss games and rotating will happen so may as well prevent the injuries and keep them at their best.

I’ll rephrase - the core, and most reliable players we’ve had, over the last few seasons are poised to leave. Not signed by the current regime. Flint was one of those. Reid is so pivotal to everything we were building. I don’t trust the current board & management to spend this money wisely. If we hadn’t had loaned Diony in January - we could’ve been going out and spending over half of Bobby’s fee on him..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing devil’s advocate a bit.....it was ok playing Wright at RB in our best period of the season wasn’t it? It depends what you want from your RB. At that point we played 4 CBs, had a solid base, and actually allowed Smith and Pack a bit more license (Pack’s advanced position for Bryan’s goal, Smith’s goal both v Man Utd for example). I agree, in the modern game more is expected of your full-backs with the ball, but more than one way to skin a cat. We were solid as anything during that run of games. 1 hour ago, Esmond Million's Bung said: And nor would I it is the sort of ‘winging’ it unprofessional attitude that ****** up the 2nd half of last season.

He now has the potential to do that at Boro. It can indeed give you a solid base and if, as seems possible, we go for some variation of 4-3-3 with two wide men we might well use Wright and Kelly, centre backs by trade, as the full backs.
