Another winger (Lennon or Townsend) and I believe we need another target man up front. Austin or someone else. Not EA. Maybe even destro but I doubt we would get him. I think if we can do that and Gil+grealish get fit again we will be set. I think bacuna can do the job, let him probe himself in the coming weeks. Big game coming up against Man U this week will show how the new players are settling in.

I think if Gil had played yesterday instead of Agbonlahor and Grealish instead of Bacuna we would of looked a more accomplished side, IF FIT OF COURSE
We just needed someone who could hold the ball and pull people out of position, Ayew will be a better player when we can feed him from midfield, he is a player with good movement and an eye for goal, but if he is not getting the ball what else can he do, don’t get on his back already the bloke has been here 5 minutes.
We will improve as the season progresses, 3 points yesterday was a good result to be fair.

I'm not sure Grealish would be a good choice at RB Villadave but I agree in principle. I thought the combination of Sinclair and Amavi down the left looked really promising and we need to emulate that on the right.

I really don't think we need another striker Villa_boy_22. Especially a target man. We have Gestede and Kozak to do that job, with Ayew and Agbonlahor for pace. It looks like we are favouring a 1 up top style of play so I would rather we spent any more money we have on strengthening our defence and right side.

Sorry Andy, my fault I didn’t mean grealish at RB, That makes no sense at all.
Its an age thing mate, just completely forget what I said.

Thinking about it today and have to say I think you're right about not needing another striker. What we need is a player who is comfortable in the prem and ready to fire down that right side. Whether it be Lennon or Townsend or whoever else ts is thinking about I agree we need them. Sure both of these players can have problems finishing but I think they will add pace and are capable of opening up the play a bit.

I agree it would be good to strengthen the defence but it doesn't seem ts is at all looking for anymore defenders, at least that's not his priority. I do agree with you on that though and hopefully we can pull in somebody.

I think Gestede looks like the way forward this season and its obvious that Sherwood really rates him. What we need is to get him the service - Sinclair, Grealish, Gil, Veretout, Ayew will provide from the midfield and Amavi will from LB. I do think you have hit the nail on the head by suggesting we need pace on the right Villa_boy_22, from both RW and RB. After his error on Saturday, I would throw in a cheeky bid for Kyle Walker just to test Spurs resolve. I agree Lennon's final product can be subpar but I think we need the pace and he is at the right money - Obertan is crap and his pace alone created that Newcastle goal.

And Villadave - I know you didn't really mean to put Grealish at RB, everyone has a brainfart now and again :)
