A question for you guys.
You are a manager looking for new talent for your team.
Grealish, Martinez and Watkins are not included for obvious reasons.

So based on Villa`s last 12 games of the current season, and performances witnessed, who would you want to buy, and for how much. ?

Targett £15-20mill
Konsa £30mill+
Mcginn £20mill+

Thise are definitely. Mcginn value dropped due to club form but still good money for national team form.
I wouldn't sell at those prices but if teams thought we'd listen I think those are the minimum offers that come in.
The rest would probably be sticking around the money we paid for them and would still get interest. Nakamba and Trez the 2 that would fetch less, Mings is a tough one, another year older and makes errors but breaking into England squad adds back to value.

Cash, konsa, mgginn, I reckon cash is worth 30mil now, konsa 50mil plus, and mgginn 40mil.

So for me

Konsa - £50 million+ if Maguire is worth £85 million Konsa is worth at least £50 million.

Mings - Again £50 million + part of the England squad.

McGinn - £40 million+ and for me that’s conservative I think he is a much better player when sides play him further forward with the right support around him as evidenced by 9 goals in 14 games for Scotland.

Dave if I was an up and coming manager, players I definitely wouldn't buy Elghazi Trezz, Luiz, Traore, Mings, Nakamba, Barkley*, I would buy Davis, Ramsey unproven but worth a punt Konsa is an obvious choice. Based on all of the above it's why we are struggling, without your omissions and Konsa we are not that strong a team, hopefully this will addressed in the summer. I just think the owners may be cautious giving too much money to the current manager, remember these guys are business men and not as emotionally attached as we are and may take a longer term view.

Scotty that is the point I am trying to make mate, we are thin on quality, and to be honest for me it would be konsa, and that`s it.
We are talking about the last 12 weeks, if we were talking longer McGinn would be in there, but not on current form.

Dave I get what you are saying re McGinn but he is a really good player he just isn’t being played in the right position or with the right support around him, play him further up the pitch with someone like Bissouma in the defensive holding role I really believe you would see a much better return from him.

John I know McGinn is a good player mate, but my question was over the last 12 games.
2 years ago he was a fantastic player, but at the moment he is well below that standard, if as you say he is out of position, that again brings Deano`s decision making into question doesn`t it.
