If we have that sort of cash we should strengthen the wider first team squad. We all know the positions required. Winnall is an astute signing and a twentieth of the price of JR. He'll do.

Stick the money in a tin under the bed, or let's buy a left back instead, or let's buy a whippet instead, or let's buy 23 players instead of blueing it all on one player. All the evidence (if people could be arsed to check it out) points to plenty of chances created but nor converted, but we still ignore the facts and cling to this idea that we don't create chances and are so rich in striking talent we can ignore a player of JRs calibre. Good job DC doesn't have the same small town mindset, thinks like other big club owners do and can see the bigger picture that if quality is there to improve the side, you go for it. Evidence points to chances created, unless you attend games and see it with your own eyes. Then reality hits home. Hirst senior in his prime would struggle at this moment in time in the current side.

Or get him n shove him at left back We've just signed a left back. Plus 1 goal conceded in the last 6 games hardly suggests a promble in defence.

Seen absolutely loads of relatively easy chances created and not taken that have completely changed the whole game and allowed teams to dominate the style of play whereas if the chances had been taken they wouldn't have had the luxury. Also Hirsty would have blitzed some of the chances we miss while holding a pint of John Smiths in one hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didnt someone also produce some stats which disproves the throw away comment that we arent making the chances for the strikers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good off the bench though He'd put the ball in the back of the net. Have a look at his goals. He gets across the front of defenders better than probably any other striker at this level. He's an absolute pest, playing on the shoulder of centre halves. He had a knack of anticipating where the ball is going to drop in the area, and he's extremely calm when he gets a chance. unfortunately he probably can't ping a 50 yard pass, or leave 2 defenders for dead with a Cruyff turn though. he's as good as we can hope for at what he does (imo Hooper's not far short either) - making the chances for him is down to the rest of the team. Whether the rest of the team is making the chances, and whether CC should be prioritising that area is another issue. to suggest Jordan Rhodes isn't up to it at this level though is an interesting point of view though, I'll give you that!

Wath-owl Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 If Villa were to sell McCormack now then it would have to be at a huge loss on what they paid in the summer. They may as well stick with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
