Yeah we should always be cautious but look at some of our hype guys on YT like luke robinson for example (UTV PODCAST) Getting all excited and confirming in a dedicated video that we have bid for Nico and even myself thought that was a step too far because the bid didn’t seem that official to me… but moreso there are plenty threads for players who have been slightly linked and probably shouldn’t exist. Nico has been heavily linked since jan , along with pau torres those are the two threads which show validity and enough substance to remain, if nico signs a new contract with bilbao then we can say its over which looks more likely now than before.

Yeah emery would get the best of him i have little doubts about that

Funny the team he joined finished 12th and im glad he was part of that squad (quality player btw) but that surely humbled him choosing a side that finished 6/7 places below us… would definitely buy him for 45m if offered the chance however.

That could be true but then we would have to shut down all player threads if that be the case, then there would be no excitement or smoke until the actual fire

Out of all the players we are linked with.. this definitely deserved a thread the most.. look how much links they are regarding him joining us and official links saying he is one of our top targets

Id rather nico 100x more than asencio

As we advanced exclusively in TodoFichajes, Aston Villa will pay the €50M clause to get the services of Nico Williams. The agreement with the player is fully closed at the rate of €7M per season in a contract that will last for 5 years. In principle, Birmingham has been locating the operation until Monchi's arrival at the offices materialised, something that occurred yesterday at the last minute. The Andalusian has been aware at all times of the negotiations with the Basque and only needs to land in the club to finish the arrival of the striker. Reported 3 hours ago thoughts ….

Nicholas jackson aint all that anyway let chelsea have him its no loss really

You really believe this

This translates as the following but no idea how reliable the source is. OFFICIAL: The deal for Nico Williams has been closed and he will leave Athletic Club to Aston Villa with a salary of 7 million: The player Nico Williams from Athletic Bilbao will not continue in the Spanish team next season, but will join…

Nico just agree to come ball under Emery pleaseee Felix we’re coming for you next bro

Wonder how much we’ll spend on backup GK

I thought you were going to explain the remarkable contrast of being linked with a loan move to Bournemouth and then linked to chelsea and milan a couple months on

The fact I'm seeing a fair few man city fans are asking for him to be brought to their club says ALOT about his quality and potential, much much different to Bailey imo style wise but may carry similar hype. Luke Robinson UTV podcast made it sound quite official that we had bid for him but that wasn’t the case or we would see some further progress at least right now… he was better off saying concrete interest perhaps. Apparently it was his agent that leaked a confirmed bid but how true that is god knows.

There is no way Monchi is capable of replacing Purslow for a role of this magnitude, Purslow understands the English game and all the ingredients to sustain at the highest level bar the Gerrard appointment

No it definitely will be top four … some of us don’t realise how ambitious we are and how ambitious our targets will be , huge club, money and world class manager… we will be looking to break in… i have confidence and belief this can happen, buckle up guys your in for a treat Emery WILL be looking at champions league places and planning on exactly how to achieve that

The squad i posted not long ago under emery gets us breaking into the top 4

Linked with the whole world atm… I’ll probably be linked by friday along with yourself

I feel like ferran will be swooped by Newcastle

This team under Professor Emery is definitely capable of securing a fourth place finish, with a new cm challenging mcginn and co. This would be a dream line up imo

I wanna laugh and put thanks lol so had to type furthermore Thuram

He will just get a RB that plays RB and a CM that plays CM its not that deep we need a player for each of those positions anyway… i feel very sad today that young has gone he was the last piece of what nostalgia i had left as i was still in school during his first spell , which is quite unreal but thats that now, thanks for everything Youngy and i hope he comes back to VP so we can give him a proper farewell.

Under Emery too now i cant see that going too much wrong

Must have been an error surely and no thanks to Jonathan David, Watkins can stay and start hes earned every right by getting 15 this season, we should have two new players either side just off Ollie that can chip in with 10 or so goals each, even if young had stayed we would still be in for a new RB. Required 2x Wide forwards 1x Central mid 1x RB 1x GK No need for a new centre back personally, Ezri, Mingsy and Big Diego will be enough as well as Callum (if he stays) Asencio is a talent but will he be motivated with us based on where hes coming from at that age Ferran Torres is at Barca but hes 23 and hasn’t won half as much so should be a lot more motivation there At least either Torres or Williams needs to be signing for us… would love both of course id be doing cartwheels all around villa park if we could make that happen. Also sign up Dario Osorio 21 yr old Chilean wizard we can develop him and play him in cup games
