I’m getting this done in two weeks and I can promise it didn’t cost 17 grand. Maybe 7/8 grand

Good Villa exposure in a potentially huge market albeit I don’t like the idea of catering to international markets when the bread and butters at home (the NFL style play a league game in a foreign market disgusts me) but if we can increase commercial interest in India/Bangladesh then all good in the dark world of commercial driven sport.

On that point. Don’t we start pre season training this week? I would have thought the club will want to get him going straight away

Ramsey is definitely. If he was playing for a club in Europe and we were goon to sign him we would be a mixture of ecstatic and scared that Man City or PSG were going to come and steal him. The guy is a high quality footballer who is getting better and better. I bet the isn’t many midfielders available this window who can pick up a ball on the half then 20 yards from our goal and have us on the edge of the opposition box in 6-7 seconds

it was meant to be Adomah

Just for perspective our 2018/19 midfield was Adomah, Thor, Connor, Jedinak, landbury, mcginn, Glenn whelan and a very young J Ramsey. It’s almost astonishing that 5/6 years later we have just added on a free tielamens to a midfield of dougie luis, kamara, mcginn, a fully up to speed Jacob Ramsey, dendoncker, buendia and little Phil C. I know Phil and dendoncker might not play many games but still the uplift in quality in that time is amazing for a side that was in the championship 5 years ago.

And if all the add ins are met it will be almost double what we are paying for pau Torres just for a bit of perspective and I know they play in different positions but if you asked me would I be excited by us signing richarlison my honest answer would he no not really. He is an average player with a bit of an attitude problem and ability in his own head that doesn’t equal what he does on the pitch even if he is brazils starting centre forward. Am I excited about Torres? Yes absolutely because I’ve seen him play and have a decent idea of what we are getting and it improves the starting 11 therefore the wider squad. and on the subject of transfer fees I think we will go big once in this window just don’t know who but I also wouldn’t be surprised if we sighed Ferran Torres on loan instead so I’m sat nicely on the fence

Absolute rolls Royce of a centre back

Not being an Everton fan so therefore not being that close to it I am amazed they haven’t sighed any players yet given a few have left at the end of contracts. The team they would be able to put out currently is relegation material all over it and I’m not seeing anyone linked to signing for them although to be fair the isn’t much to appeal to players there at the moment

Seems like a classic spurs signing decent player that has some nice touches will score the odd nice goal but also spend large parts of the game anonymous

I am finding this link really frustrating the guys shit we are not after him

I don’t see ambition as embarrassing. I remember Man City going after Robinho 10/12 years ago and people thought that was far fetched and unlikely but he sighed albeit for a huge salary but it happened. I’d rather see links to Chiesa than the lazy rubbish like Adams or any other Leeds player written by journalists that have missed the news that we have very wealthy and competent owners who have set up an executive structure up there with the best in the business and hired an elite manager. just on the Leeds links I would rather us be linked to chiesa’s dad than those Leeds players.

I or someone else might have said this before but this guy prior to joining us has played 78 professional matches most of which were at Oxford, reading, Rotherham etc and then that little run for arsenal the season before we signed him and then since joining us he has played 110 times won the cops America and the World Cup while keeping 20 clean sheets in 30 games for Argentina and keeping clean sheets for fun for us. What an odd but remarkable career

Mouchi is on the case this will be sorted for Wednesday

To be fair he went from champions league to the championship for I assume money reasons so it’s not a shock he chooses Saudi blood money

Just seeing a piece about Everton being under pressure to sell onana who I would say is about their only decent player. Anyone know the reasons why? I’m assuming it’s because they have no money and need to balance the books

Of all of these nico Williams is the one for me that we should break our necks to get over the line. 21 in July, coming up to 100 games for Bilbao and he is quick, skilful and works hard so basically a huge upgrade on Bailey and I think would add a huge amount of variety to our attacking set up. I’d like pau Torres too and then we really are starting to get a serious squad together to be lead by a genius

Yeah so shit we couldn’t beat a ten man Leeds side under gerrard but same players managed to beat Man Utd, Chelsea, spurs and Brighton twice, hammered Newcastle at home and of course beat the mighty Leeds under Emery. But I agree gerrard was superb at Villa the players let him down but at Leeds would be a perfect fit for there vision

Funny paper talk line in sky sports today spurs want cut price deal on raya. They only want to pay £20 mill not the £40 Brentford have agreed they would let him go for. Classic levy thinking clubs should help them out by dropping what they will accept. Maybe pay what’s asked or decide you can’t afford him and get a keeper you can afford like Frazier forester.

If this was a young French midfielder doing what he is doing in the French pub league we would all be getting excited about the prospect of signing him but this is one of our own doing incredible things in a far more competitive league. We should be shouting loud and proud about this guy which I know most of us do

Just noticed Tammy looked like he damaged an ACL over the weekend. I doubt we were looking at him but I doubt anybody will be looking to pick him up from Roma now this summer

I’m not sure it’s sunk in for some including the players because I am assuming after the disgusting display against Everton the players seemed to have no clue they were in a relegation fight.

Maguire is nailed on to start despite Man Utd starting almost anyone they can to avoid playing him and prepared to pay £10 million to not play for them. Mings has been in sensational form last 6 months and has been excellent whenever he has played for England. on the stones playing all over the place a bit like zinchenco at arsenal when he won’t play left back despite being the left back I would use this and get a player to go and play in the space that leaves so with stones I would pop Watkins into that gap between the other centre half and full back or with arsenal get Bailey high on the right where the left back should be.

According to the the sun (yes I know they make everything up) he wants Newcastle I’m guessing due to champions league football. He is feeling a bit like a mercenary at this point which I know all footballers are to a point but for him it seems more obvious

Obviously the top 4 plus Liverpool will probably be strong again although I wonder how Newcastle will cope with the champions league fixtures and actually same for arsenal who I expect to drop off from where they have been this year. Spurs I’m not worried about at all, poor squad and a mess behind the scenes and no desire to spend the money to put it right. Chelsea I expect to improve a lot under poch but still lumbered with a bloated, disjointed and unbalanced squad. Brighton I think have had as good a season as they could ever expect so I would be surprised if they keep that up. Brentford mid table at best for me especially with Toney banned and Fulham are a bit of a Sheffield Utd second season in my view lazy pundits predicting a mid table finish based on the season just gone but not seeing that they outperformed on there ability and I can see them struggling
