Interesting developments and as posted in the transfer thread...

Here's more.

 

What else do you know @AvfcRigo82 or are you waiting for the proper thread to be reopened?

I keep wondering why Gregg tweeted this too. What did he hear? Why hasn't he mentioned Rashica since?

Damn you got me excited till I saw the date

It translates too:

Aston Villa joins the bid for Marc Roca The Premier League will almost certainly be the midfielder's destiny in this transfer market. More details in our portal.

 

Defensive midfielder?   Really?   

According to Jim White and a handful of our fans, Villa are done spending in this window...?

This seems too random. I know there’s been a bit of noise of nakamba leaving, but not expecting it. Think our name is just being used in a bidding war.

Tease

I think we will hold on to some money for January. I also think that is a sensible thing to do. Additions then will give a boost to players.

This is why I think we haven’t gone all out to plug all holes. January isn’t far away and there are more pressing issues. Think it’s about spreading the money out, especially with FFP in mind.

It may well not be true.

Fwiw, I don't think wages would be a problem in any negotiations with us and the player. (Rashica)

Yes he would want better than what he is already on at Bremen and I don't think it would be a problem if we offered double what he is on now, but I'm guessing whatever you have read or heard about it being a deciding factor in any deal is probably aload of bollocks by a half arsed journalist.

 

A lot of the rashica resentment has been on Twitter, people buying into the ‘he doesn’t want to come/he’s holding out for better’ story. I think a lot of people have jumped the gun and come to their own conclusions.

Unfortunately, the Rashica dream seems well and truly over. I'd say our dealings are probably over too now. 

You mean, it’s NOT happening 

What a window this has been. Love our owners. They’re backing up the talk. If we announce just rashica to end the window then this would be the best window bar none. 
 

we can only dream right?

Any new fun twitter rumours going around?

Given Dean Smith's comments and not so subtle hint we are looking at getting in another forward who can play across the front three/wings I am expecting more incomings, figured now is around the time agents start leaking the interests to drum up competition

Also the thread is closed so I assume "the rash" is off? Or the mods just got weary of the spam in there and closed it till something changes?
 

According to some Twitter account with 13 followers rash is being announced on Thursday. 
 

get your it’s happening gifs ready boys and girls!

My prediction for rest of window...

Wed - nothing

Thurs - nothing

Friday - twitter tells us rashica deal is dead.

Sat - rumours deal is agreed with chelsea for RLC

Sun - recycled, yet stronger rumours of RLC.

Mon - RLC confirmed morning/afternoon.

Late monday, bid accepted and rashica on route to VP. RASHICA CONFIRMED minutes before window slams shut. 

 

I’d take that.

It is very interesting. 

Ajax have submitted a bid for Klaussen leaving Werder with two offers on the table for two players.

Will they sell one or sell both?

Looks like we will find out on October 5th. If by then our bid for Rashica isn't accepted then we still have a week left to get another target in.

7 days of that transfer window left and another international break is also upcoming.

We just need to wait for Werder to decide, but they seem convinced that "they may never see Rashica in a Werder shirt again".

Could it be that the comment about rashica not playing in a Werder shirt was made before Ajax interest was made klaussen therefore it’s changed the landscape somewhat, therefore they may only need to sell one. 

trying to be hopeful, but it’s getting harder.

Just beat me to it, gutted

70 mins, need some fresh legs. Traore for trez, Ramsay for Conor. 

That was lucky, don’t think it should have been chalked off but take it where you can. 

Yes Mings!!!!!!

Watkins shot was nerves. You can tell he just wants to break his PL duck.

Noice. 

You beauuttyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!

I’d rate the window so far as a 7/10, I think the need though is quality depth. Getting the likes of rashica in would mean el-ghazi and trez would become 2nd choice as opposed to automatic and whilst not perfect would be ideal. 
 

Also bringing in RLC would mean Conor moving down pecking order and Lansbury further. You look at some players in the squad and want them as far down as possible if not sold/loaned out.

do I think we’re done? I hope not and hope to bring in a few more whilst shifting some out/down the order.
