    Summed up well:

    We certainly need some ruthlessness, we need to build a much better team and squad. Moving on players that don’t fit and shifting massive wages will only help.

    Let’s bring in genuine quality that can impact and elevate us.

    Exactly! Loving this mini rebuild. Trust Emery!

    I see a lot of people doubting him on here. Doubting his decision to sell Ings. Doubt his decision to sign Moreno. Doubting his decision to sign Duran etc etc 

    He wants to build an identity for us. Ings clearly don't fit in the future plans and makes financial sense. Just let him do his work without moaning. Trust him!

    The Villa Transfer Policy

    We're trying to put mistakes made in the past right. Ings was one of them. Taking him off the wage bill giving his age is clever business. 
    Early days but Moreno and Duran seems like we now moving in the right direction
    I think you should move on and be positive and think towards the future rather than past mistakes.
    Things are changing rapidly. 

    Oh and to your answer your question- Carney Cashwuemeka for £20Million last transfer window

    Watch us accept £10m.

    Just the nice £15m loss on him then if that happens. 

    That's why we have no money because we never ever sell players for a profit. Terribly run football team for a long time.

     

     

    Don't forget the saving of 10 Million in wages......

    FWIW, a well respected ITK on a West Ham forum is saying a deal is close and the fee is agreed.

    Can see this happening by the end of the week. If a fee is agreed, it means the player is open to the move and the buying club have been encouraged to bid.

    FPL Lyric is a West Ham Fan?
    Link to the forum please

    This. So many people on Twitter saying we should sell in the Summer?

    Yeh, about that. Who’s going to want him then given the wages he’s on and it being a much more open market and people can plan more and shop around.

    It’s not a coincidence there have been links to Southampton, Everton and West Ham. Go check out the league table.

    Right now, all three of those clubs need a striker who can score a handful of goals between now and the end of the season. The cost of relegation is too high and they’ll be balancing that up against the cost of Ings transfer fee and wages. They might feel Ings at £15m and a 2/3yr contract on similar wages to what he’s on here is the better alternative to getting relegated. 

    We need to take advantage of this desperation. If a club is willing to take those wages off our hands, and give us a £15m transfer fee, then more fool them. He’d only be a stop gap for them I imagine, given how immobile and unfit I think he looks recently. 

    I don’t mind Ings, I think he has a place in our squad, I just know that financially, a deal would make massive sense for Villa here even if we don’t replace him.

    We need to plan for the future. Ings on £125k a week to sit on the bench for the next 18 months is not the future. 

    100% agreed. It's either sell now or never. Maybe we could loan a replacement to the end of the season for short term cover.

    Any club where their highest earner or earners aren't part of the starting 11 and sitting on the bench isn't a good luck IMO. And causes unrest with the players earning less yet are in the starting 11....

    He's our top scorer.

    Watkins isn't very effective when teams park the bus in front of their own box.

    If he leaves our second striker is a (by all accounts promising) teenager who has never kicked a ball in the Premier League.

    We are 6 points off 6 place and Chelsea and Liverpool are both fast approaching crisis point.

    He's not part of our best starting 11.... Or our future plans. Sell whilst he's hot. Otherwise we're stuck with him

    Nope, don't be selling him. We don't want to weaken the squad right now

    - He's can't run

    - He's on big wages

    - He's 31

    Sell.
