  1. Well, yes, that's why I wrote that we shouldn't have serious interest in them. Perin makes sense, though. I overlooked him because I was looking at Juventus' current squad and he was at Genoa this season.
  2. Options I could see us possibly having interest in, though not knowing how serious it'd be Aaron Ramsey Gonzalo Higuain Federico Bernardeschi Juan Cuadrado Gigi Buffon Of course, the problem with any of these is that the reason Juventus is willing to let any of them go is because it no longer wants to pay them. I'm not sure we should want to, either.
  3. I'll swap Samatta for Dybala, provided Juventus pays Dybala's salary too.
  4. Evans wrote about Villa’s supposed interest in a goalkeeper today, but I thought this paragraph was the most interesting part of the story based on our conversations here. https://theathletic.com/2001585/2020/08/20/aston-villa-cillessen-watkins-transfer-window/?source=user_shared_article
  5. I don't know how much higher they'd have finished, but if they'd finished the season I'd bet they'd have finished higher than 7th. Fourth is out of the question, but they were two points out of fifth.
  6. If he were 22 I'd be open to it, but he's already 26 and largely is who he is. To me this smells of an agent trying to stir up interest.
  7. If we're signing anybody from Benfica it should be Carlos Vinicius.
  8. For context, Cervi ranked 73rd in Portugal last year in non-penalty goals per 90 at 0.11 and 93rd in the league in non-penalty goals plus assists per 90. He's not even a good player in Portugal!
  9. Franco Cervi would be an excellent signing in that it will give VT somebody to complain about next summer when posting "we need to sign quality players, not squad filler like Cervi."
  10. I will release ONE NAME at midnight on the evening of the new moon.
  11. It's about the friends we've made along the way.
  12. My favorite is questioning the credibility of Villa Report.
  13. I'm an American who didn't start paying attention to this sport until his early 20s, and the idea of the lower leagues of English football being used by B-teams seems like sacrilege to me. The lower leagues are a huge part of what makes English football great. To get rid of teams and further "corporatize" things so that it's roughly 20 clubs owning the entire country would destroy the very fabric of the game.
  14. It's often said there are no bad ideas, but then again, people say a lot of things.
  15. Looks like Barcelona is going to hire Koeman. So that means it won't be Pochettino. https://gianlucadimarzio.com/en/barcelona-koeman-remains-the-favorite-to-replace-setien
  16. If there's any truth to it I would think it's as a left wingback type of role. If it's as a winger, I'll pass.
  17. He's still young so there's plenty of room to grow, but his attitude seems like a problem. There's a difference between tenacity and just being a clearing in the woods, and I think he's more of a clearing in the woods at times. That said, it could just be a result of all the problems at Arsenal this year. But even if that's the case, I'm not sure I could cope with having some Kenny G/Yanni lovechild roaming the midfield at Villa Park.
  18. I'd rather spend £10 million on a 20-year old with potential over the summer than £10 million on another Samatta in January.
  19. The buzz around Napoli on Lozano right now is he's going to be reunited with Ancelloti at Everton. Everton and Napoli are already working on a deal for Allan to join Everton, and there have been Lozano discussions as well. Carlo's getting the band back together.
  20. Nicolo Schira is a reputable reporter in Italy, and there's no link in his original tweet, which makes it hard to click on anything.
  21. Would certainly be an upgrade over Targett. Slightly in attack, and massively in defense.....if he's healthy. He's dealt with knee injuries the last couple of years. He'd likely come cheap because of it, but if he does and he's able to stay healthy, it'd be a good move.
  22. WE'RE GOING TO NEED A TILE ANALYSIS
