How Dry should our Powder be?

Hopefully, although we usually get knocked out by the first Championship club we draw anyway.
For me our biggest recent failing has been our apparent disdain for domestic cups - rotating ourselves out so we’re fresh for Wolves/Forest/Palace at Home/Away the following weekend is the wankest thing I have seen this club do.

Absolutely needs to stop and we should have a concerted effort to try and win the cups each year - can’t believe I feel the need to type that, but I do
 
It's got to the point where I wish we just buy Gallagher just to put an end to these constant fucking Gallagher Tweets, honestly man 😆

I've read that David also plays AMF, so could it be that?

Honestly havent seen him play enough.
But I mean he does not seem to be much of an assist-machine, so I doubt.

Would make more sense as Richie upgrade, but our brazilian doesnt want to move to Saudis and no one else is not interested, so... difficult.

I mean David could realistically play second striker position, but that would mean we'd have to either drop no10 / attacking mid for him, which seems unlikely.
 
:ange-facepalm:

We were never going to sign 5-6 players that can make a difference to the starting 11. Where do these expectations come from?

I dunno, maybe from not having won shit for centuries despite being one of the world's richest clubs? And having a chairman and a HC who keep saying they're serious about winning...but then finishing 20 odd pts behind City & Arse, getting ridiculed in Cup comps each year...
 

It's genuinely a game-changing signing for us. It doesn't have to be him but absolutely has to be someone of his ilk. If we can bring in a better #8 than Sarr, primarily someone who can shut down transitions against us (LITERALLY OUR BIGGEST ISSUE AT THE CLUB - A dribbly 1v1 specialist does NOT fix this issue - But we absolutely do need one of those profiles in) as they happen we become a side that would compete for top 3 (still a way off from challenging for the top spot, but fucking hell I'll take 3rd all day as a realistic chance).

With Solanke in we have a profile that fits us like a glove (score more goals + concede fewer goals = we will be a better side than last season).

I really like Ramsey but I have to be honest this is because of his ball carrying which catches the eye (another big profile requirement IMO and I'm not sure Gallagher is noted for this) but outside of his ball carrying is Ramsey good without the ball, is he of the profile fit that snuffs out oppo transitions like Gallagher can? I don't know his game well enough to answer this- Ta. (I'm obviously bringing in his name because it's been reported that we are willing to let Lo Celso go and it's been reported that Emery likes him, so I smell a deal here, especially as Villa are doing the PSR dance of death).
