at 19 and at 20-25 mil Gnonto would be a fairly low risk gamble, I think he has bags of talent and potential. I'd honestly rather we followed the Brentford and Brighton model than spanking 30-50 mil on high risk players who couldn't get their desired move to a CL club. You look at what some clubs like Everton have tried to do and how it's backfired, not saying we can't avoid that and that we aren't a different proposition, I would just mix up our transfer policy between low risk gambles/uncut diamonds and high quality high risk gambles.

You could just create a signature with that on, save having to keep type it

Tim has an outside of making it as this level, he has all the attributes to do well, I would say a loan would make most sense for him.

we've been loosely linked to Jesús Vázquez - who plays LB at Valencia, no idea if he is good or if those links have any substance

Ok damn, in that case - Feck Buendia - I hope we sell him asap the evil basteward

Do you have a 'Buendia keyword alert' any thread any mention, quick steam in, can't miss an opportunity to slag him off. probably also an internet wide one, no forum, comments section safe, even ones in his native Argentina, his family whatsapp group chats. he probably needs a restraining order to stop you from standing outside of his house with a sign saying 'you're sh*t' presume the guy sh*gged your missus or stole your cookie for this level of unhealthy obssession.

More likely to sign Angelos

I already mentioned Grealish and Ings. Chuk was a good call and the fee was the best we could hope for under the circumstances. Guilbert went for nothing and El Ghazi went for close to that, probably Vassilev aswell but at least he cost us very little in the first place. Only Chuk and Grealish saw a profit. we seem to mostly loan/sell players to France or Turkey at a huge loss on wages or fees.

when was the last time we sold a player - rather than loans with subsidised wages Ings & Grealish? everyone else 'hey we'll pay you to take our players' we must have a rep as absolute push overs, I really hope the new exec team put a stop to this

Love to see how many players in the 30-35 mil bracket are banging in goals and assists for other teams, can't believe there are many, especially ones brought in from abroad or whose success was mainly in a lower league. Buendia has a lot of supporting stats that show his overall contribution is pretty decent even if he should get more assists and goals, as someone pointed out on another thread golden age Grealish didn't actually deliver that many goals and assists, didn't mean his influence was rubbish. Not saying Buendia is at his level, not even close but he def does more than he gets credit for. After a really awful spell under both Stevie G and even early days of Emery, Bailey - started to show he is capable of a cut back, pass or cross that would lead to goals in the last embers of the season - he has the attributes, he's just been woefully inconsistent and lacking in confidence. Buendia gets too easily riled and needs to find space/positioning better. Both can hopefully push on with Emery coaching them. I accept we need to rely less on both and both can certainly contribute more, but the constant criticism of both players is tedious and boring, both can do a job for us and both will be needed as we want to add to this squad not replace everyone. We need better attacking options, Watkins is too isolated. I think we will sign another two attackers - if we sell Buendia or Bailey I won't be upset but perfectly relaxed about them getting another season also.

annoy you and other Villa fans

he really wasn't, he was actually showing signs of potential/form after being mostly average before that, whether that would have translated into becoming a good player for us, probably not, but he wasn't terrible at the time he got crocked.

He might not have even considered us we were probably only used to get him a bigger pay packet

despite him never been linked to us or Man Utd looking like they want to sell him

Not saying Unai doesn't want him, not saying he wouldn't be good signing of huge intent. But we aren't quite at the level where we can truly complete with the full mercenaries of the game and their blood oil and state sponsored corruption.

Cash getting torn one

he should be working at Vegas he loves cards so much the c*ck muppet

some sexy football so far from us

and if your sack is useless it can cause other issues

you knew it the moment they banged on about it at the start that Bobby would score

it would be if it happened

the inevitable script plays out

guys apparently Digne used to play for Everton, who knew?
