Oh, no real info there though just a baseless mention. No word of a bid, agreed fee or personal terms.... there’s just too much BS out there. I’d love it, just can’t see it.

Was there? To Edouard?

This thread needs locking as there have been no (recent) links. Rashica thread has more justification for continuing than this one...

I don’t think we’re signing Edouard or even an out and out CF guys, as much as we would all like it to happen. There’s only so much we can spend and we have higher priority positions. If we bring in another big signing it will most likely be Rashica or Sarr for 20-30m. I can’t see us spending such a high fee on a striker now. We may then look at a loan deal or two, such as Barkley or RLC, with option to buy. The wingers can cover at CF too, I think we can/will look at doing more business in Jan but FFP is always going to restrict us, especially in a single window. Watkins is our no. 1 striker and will not be moved to the wing or bench, he’s showing promise and could well be the solution that we need...

Jack’s by far our highest earner and likely followed by Mings (new contracts) and/or Watkins (hefty wage there).

No mate, and I’m relieved: https://www.spotrac.com/Premier League/aston-villa-fc/payroll/ Ollie Watkins £75,000 Matty Cash £65,000 Bjorn Engels £55,000 Tom Heaton £42,000 Frederic Guilbert £40,000 Henri Lansbury £40,000 Wesley Moraes £35,000 Matt Targett £35,000 Douglas Luiz £32,873 Mahmoud Hassan £32,500 Marvelous Nakamba £32,500 Neil Taylor £32,000 Anwar El Ghazi £30,962 Conor Hourihane £30,000 Ahmed Elmohamady £25,000 John McGinn £25,000 Jota Peleteiro £25,000 Orjan Nyland £20,000 Lovre Kalinic £15,712 Kortney Hause £8,000 Ezri Konsa £8,000 Jed Steer £8,000 Keinan Davis £5,000 ‘kin’ hell Taylor!!! We flipping need to use Engels! Should be able to shift Kalinic... Where did you get see/hear that from? You scared me for a moment!!

No way, I can’t see Wes, Trez(!!!) & Lansbury on 70/80 effing K a week! That can’t be and shouldn’t be, otherwise those responsible need shooting! I would assume Watkins isn’t on a massive wage, yet.

No way!!!! That’s horrendous if true!!

Wonder if he could do a job on Traore the next time we play Wolves Targett will be probably be missing as usual...

He does it quite often and with easier chances too.

Yeah I’m glad we signed Watkins rather than trying for this lad:

Maybe if we stop talking about him he’ll actually sign!

Didn’t say you weren’t! Good to see a Villa boy doing well too
