    Not necessarily. I mean it wouldn’t have been a signing id have thought we’d be making, but, I expected 2/3 free signings, before adding a couple of big purchases a bit later on in the window. We need numbers, without breaking the bank. Look at the last two months - our squad was hampered by injury and bad luck. 

    You probably correct. We shouldn't doubt Emery, maybe he turn Barkley into a beast.

    So.... I do not claim to be ITK, however...

    My work colleagues partner is some form of construction worker (I think he's a planner, but I'm not sure) - he was at VP recently and apparently the Holte is having the car park eaten into in order for the stand to be raised higher and have a casino built, although I suspect she got confused and meant the North stand. Corners are being filled in over time, and the plans for the stretch of building down towards the Witton Arms is for that to be rebuilt as a place for the players to warm up and then have a tunnel to take them into VP itself.

    I doubt she's made this up, but take it as you wish.

    Casino would be nice. Can meet and greet Ivan Toney and Tonali there next season

    Think we may see a few paid off over the next week or two. 

    Would be surprised if we take up the option to buy on loans either. 

    Are you suggesting to us that we gonna sign Zaniolo?

    Posts like this just make opposing supporters look at us and laugh. Let’s take things one step at a time?

    Let them laugh. I'm a believer. Why would would I be negative?

    Has anyone made the original and hilarious joke of - "Season is over and no players signed yet? EMERY OUT!" lololololol?

    If this was Football Manager, after yesterday's performance I be right clicking and selecting the 'Release on a free' option to Chambers and Olsen.

    So if a 80m (or higher) offer came in for Luiz I'd take it. We can replace him with similar quality for half that.

    Conor Gallagher is a good player but isn't an improvement on our first team, which at 40 to 50m would have to be.

    Duran is a huge talent, but needs games. I'd loan him out but not sell, he's going to be a top player.

    Zirkee is performing well in Italy, but Lukaku and Tammy have had better numbers than him out there, so I'm not sold on him.

    For me Konsa is a good foil for Mings, but not the right man to partner Torres. And poor at right back both going forward and defensively.

    Carlos looks intimidated in the Premier league. I'd sell, and bring a big, strong, quick, and aggressive right centre back.

    Joao Paliniha is the ideal DM we need. Would be perfect for us. Not sure he'd come, but bɓ a shot even at 40 million.

    The fullback positions have been an achilles heel this season. Been getting murdered there defensively, particularly on the right.

    The team need to defend a lot better next season. We could do with another left winger / midfielder body, but defense and defensive midfield has to be the focus. 

    If we sign Paliniha people would moan about his age. Plus he's not the greatest passer. I think would be a good signing tho

    Isn't Zirkee more of a number 10? Like a playmaker striker?

    I'd be really interested to see where Marc Guehi ends up. I doubt he'd come here, and doubt even more that we could afford him..

    ..but also there's a chance that maybe Liverpool won't spend big on a CB, whilst Arsenal and City don't need to.

    After those 3, why not? We leak goals, Pau misses games, Hermoso/Konsa will play fullback quite a bit. We have no idea what version of Mings comes back. We could go and spend there.

    Edit: he's quite likely to leave Palace this summer. They're desperate to keep Wharton, Olise and Eze (they won't) he may become their sacrificed sale

    Marc Guehi would cost a fortune. So definitely not coming to villa. Plenty of cheaper defenders out there with similar qualities
