I say sign him. I don’t care what the fee is. Not my money.

Agree with this. To me it looks as though we will mirror the Liverpool system. However, having Buendia in CM or 10 will really increase the workload for our other 2 CMs, hence, another dedicated CDM I am sure will come in. 

Buendia works harder defensively than anyone who played “10” for us last season

Zakaria or palhinha would fit the description and being difficult to buy but he’s probably talking tripe

Think that Italian ITK Fabrizio poured cold water on it on a podcast yesterday? Could be wrong

Would players heading to Wolves also land at BHX?

They've already done business with Barca this summer getting Trincao in on loan.

They have previously, boly neves and moutinho use bhx frequently

I’ll keep an eye out

Private flight from Barcelona arriving at BHX later today

No 1st class on short haul routes these days!!

Very true. Never seemed to bother kodjia, was a frequent flyer on the scheduled passenger stuff to France after weekend home games

Why do we always assume footballers will travel on private Jets. What’s wrong with first class?

During a global pandemic, quite a lot

@The Inspiration are you the man to track planes?! Any private jets heading out of Bremen today?

I guess I am mate yeah. On annual leave atm but checked in with a colleague on shift today earlier this morning (when OONEY was posted on here), nothing in/out on a private basis at bhx today with links to Bremen or Copenhagen (or anywhere in Denmark or Germany for that matter, aside from the usual cargo operations)

At this moment in time it is more of a reason, Salah and De Bruyne are not a possibility coming to Villa, so I do not see where your Logic comes from there.

So your response is flawed unfortunately. 

No, your whole point is flawed

2 minutes ago, villalad21 said:

The comparisons with De Bruyne and Salah is not valid.

They were both 2 of the most productive players in Europe before they returned to England. Traore is far from being in that mold.

Are you broken mate

3 minutes ago, JAMAICAN-VILLAN said:

If thats the biggest question you have it is terrible reasoning.

Chelsea also sold Salah and Kevin De Bruyne.

There is much better reasoning than that presented mate.

That lukaku is shit too

10 minutes ago, Dave-R said:

One question that bugs me is if hes this really good player, why on earth did Chelsea sell him??

Back to the circus for you mate

16 minutes ago, villalad21 said:

Considering he is a left footed inside forward he won't be a regular.

Jack plays there.

Jack plays on the right?

JT was hammered along with Suso by everyone on here last season for everything wrong with the club.

Now he is suddenly a great coach to get the best out of this player.

Who said that

4 minutes ago, cheltenham_villa said:

Not really, but now you've really confused me. So I think you want benrahma as long as smith does NOT want benrahma BUT if smith does want him, you wouldnt trust his judgement and would now rather not have him?

It doesn’t mean he doesn’t have a better idea than average joe. He would have known about him as an opposition player, and obviously knows the staff at Chelsea to get their opinion. 

Ooooo I see you meant terry knew him better than an average joe because he played against him and knew the Chelsea staff?

My bad, I assumed you thought they played together, guess I’m the wrong one.

Just now, samjp26 said:

Probably not, being as John Terry was playing for us when Drinkwater joined Chelsea.

Bertrand on the the other hand..

Looks like he has a right moody disgraceful attitude... oh wait

Just now, Genie said:

Another for a mention of Danny Drinkwater. Long time waster who came to us and couldn’t be arsed, started fighting.

Your first mention was incorrect, terry and drinkslager were never teammates.

Fair point on the smith angle

I’ve got a lot of black mates and I don’t think any of them play bingo. 

Must be an attitude kinda thing

2 minutes ago, villalad21 said:

Is that supposed to fill me with confidence? 

He chose to go for Wesley as well ahead of Maupay.

Did he

1 minute ago, Genie said:

He probably had a better understanding of Drinkwater‘s temperament too. 

You sure about that?

3 minutes ago, samjp26 said:

Why do black footballers constantly get tarnished with this "bad attitude" stick? Not being funny but fans hardly ever know how a player's character is unless it is purposely put out there for us to know (e.g. Ross McCormack).

I think something being overlooked here is the fact that our man JT spent plenty of time around the player and will know his character, skillset and talents very well. I'm also sure Traore will have a lot of respect for JT just like all other Chelsea players did. If anything we have far better knowledge with this player than we do usually.

Bingo

Every day over nearly 29 year old Josh King who needed 3 penalties last season to score 6 goals but some people fapping  over
