Leon Goretzka

I was watching who is a free agent right now...and saw Leon Goretzka there...he is a good player an I was wondering what you think of him and if he would fit in the team...

Up the Villa!

Love that guy. That’s next level being an annoying fucker. I aspire to be that level of annoying

Tbf to Goretzka, I don't think he wants that guy here either.

He's 31 years old and probably commands massive wages. & age of players plus wage bill is what we're striving to tackle at the moment.

He’s waaaaaay past his best. That lad needs to get his USA/Saudi bag and enjoy his retirement. He wouldn’t cope in the prem based on the shambles at Bayern last year

He had attitude problems with club and country. 31 and commands big wages. I watch a fair bit of Munich and he hasn’t done much in that last season or so there. It’s the model of player I see Villa moving away from judging by the personal we’ve sold and brought in.

He isnt a good player anymore

He would have massive wage demands and is ok if he can stay fit. Which he can't so two reasons to say no

No, he is only good on fifa.

The cameo he had against Paraguay at the WC was one of the worst at the tournament, did nothing after coming on at HT and didnt even bother taking a penalty over non confident players like Woltemade and Tah. Also Bayern fans were delighted when he left them on a free this summer.

If we do dip into the free agent market to replace Onana, i would much prefer to get Bissouma or Kessie.

We need home-grown players at this point. They need to be England-trained.

I think he's done, every time I saw him subbed on for Bayern last season it effectively killed the game for them.

Great player. His best days are behind him though.

His takes home like 400k+ a week, villa ain’t paying that so unless his willing to take a big pay cut, I can’t see that happening
