McBurnie - 6 goals in 36 Prem appearances
Wesley - 5 in 21

In a worse team as well

What happened to the "we have to sign serious players" to surround jack with quality to convince him that as a whole the management was serious about climbing the table?

Matty cash is just a half decent championship player who will struggle in the premiership for a while until he gets accustomed and will be a good backup player/benchwarmer/cup player

I cannot fathom why as a club we seem to be going backwards with alleged signings and approaches,Money should not be a problem for the players we want and need,10m for cash is just too much for Cash considering wolves sold  doherty to spuds for 15m

100% guarantee you would have been saying this when we signed McGinn...

He improves the first team (he is one of the top 5 players in the championship and is forests best player by a country mile), it might not be Billy Big Balls from Serie A but its a start and it improves      the     first      team

**** it. Up the bid to £7.5m. 

Johan, get off the forums and go sign someone...

For the love of god get on the blower to uncle Albert and get him to put a word in for us... 

And pay the sodding money you cheapskates, its like we're trying to do a Deborah Meaden on them...

for anyone who doesnt know much about John Swift. (i would spend 8m on him, good squad depth)

 

To be honest he looks a lot better (against better opposition as well) than John McGinn looked in his SPL highlight reel and look how that turned out. 

Would be a cracking squad upgrade at £8m.

Like our fans would have the patience to wait two years ten games in, struggling to hit PL pace.. 'championship shit! Should have bought a player from a decent league!' 

Totally totally this. 

Bought Wesley at 22. Belgian league, came up through the playoffs so always going to be hard for us to do well (most go straight back down). Guy gets 5 goals in 21 starts including 3 winners and is branded as a total waste of time/money when he gets a career threatening injury just as he was starting to look the part (much faster than Douglas Luiz did)...

Like anyone we buy who isn't 16/17 years old would be given anything like 2 years!!!

I have a feeling this will be done today. That is based on total speculation and blind hope. Like most newspaper articles really.

So around 98% more evidence than any tabloid and clickbait site has ever had on transfer dealings at this club...

Just now, Teale's 'tache said:

Better be a triple signing of Bale, Luka Jovic and Edouard to keep VillafaninLondon happy.  

Grealish             Edouard             Watkins

       Loftus-Cheek           McGinn

                               Luiz

Targett       Mings        Konsa      Aarons

                            Heaton

God if only....

it's not really p*ssing money up the wall though, I'd love it if we could bring in the likes of Werner, Ziyech and Chilwell for those fees. They will almost certainly make them stronger next season.

By pissing the money up the wall its not to say that those players arn't world class, but they are fortunate to be in a position where they just pay the asking fee without haggling at all. Hence why their deals have been done faster than literally the entirety of the rest of the league.

Surely you'd tag it pretty quickly if she was faking a BJ???

Not relative to Prem prices tbf.  Chilwell just moved for £50m.

Nah, that's just Chelsea mate, they had a year off so they are just pissing money up the wall at the moment.

Eze has officially gone to Palace then.

£20m for Eze, championship prices are fuking crazy arn't they...

How do you change your profile pic lads?

Lehmann wasn’t even a great keeper and he’s really old so I’m not sure why they’d want him in a number seven role. 

Looking pretty **** good here though isn't he

Is there anything concrete linking him with us other than the speculation

Unfortunately, just media links and the usual twitter ITK accounts, nothing proper as such.

As you can see I'm clearly ITK.

The worrying thing is you still have more credibility than half of the crap-canisters masquerading on twitter mate...

Lallana and Mertens would be solid additions on free transfers. I doubt either would command a wage like Cavani or Higuain either.

You mean Lallana who signed for Brighton 4 weeks ago?

Toney has signed for Brentford apparently, so,Watkins will go somewhere soon.

I can’t see it being Fulham unless we’d already signed Edouard.

But I feel we’re targeting Watkins over Edouard now.

A fee has been agreed, hardly him holding up the shirt  . 

But yes it is inevitable Watkins is going (somewhere)...

I believe AEG cost £6.5m, Jota was around £2m, I think. Trez around £8-9m. Samatta £10m.

If anyone came in for these players (unlikely, I know) I think we’d get more than we paid. 

AEG was £6.75m and would easily fetch £8-10m in Europe now. Aside from the overarching view of him among villa supporters, the fact is that he got 4 goals and 4 assists in 34 PL games last season, is still only 25 and was actually in the top 20 players in terms of stats for european wingers under 25 across the top leagues. 

Jota cost £4m and would be unlikely to go for that sort of money now as he was peripheral last season. I would see him as a makeweight in a deal with a championship club if we are doing business with them.

Trezeguet I would certainly give one more season as he showed enough and actually arguably kept us up with his goals...

Samatta, we might be inclined to keep him for one more season as he's only just got here but I could certainly envisage a loan with option to buy somewhere like Turkey or France to be honest. 

If we were to sell them all there is definitely 15-20m in that lot if we played to their stats and strong points from the season.

In which case we'd probably only need to sign just 1 more winger, considering Watkins is more than adequate cover. Might even make good business sense.

This ^^. Would likely spell the end for Samatta and Davis at the club to be honest as another poster has already mentioned. Would love us to go for Sarr for the RW.
