I was going to add that, then they must have someone better lined-up, I think we'll end up signing a striker who will be seen as a coup, for a Championship club. Probably not Berahino, but someone with a good reputation. Your post did rather leave us hanging there, waiting for the rest of it. Nice build-up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add in Brentford's forward Scott Hogan and free agent, secondary striker, attacking midfielder and either right or left winger Nick Powell. Subotic rumoured for Boro I think £8m. I'd give Nick Powell a trial Villa fan who looked the better player at Crewe than Westwood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelsea loans I'd rather have than Bamford are Bertrand Traore striker and Tomas Kalas centre-back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a speculation thread so speculate. There's speculation and there's speculation though. I know you prefaced your post with 'it probably won't happen', but that still massively overstates the possibility. It definitely won't happen. We're not going to sign Berahino, who Albion wanted £25m for last year (and who's doubtless more valuable this year), and we're not going to sign Son Heung-Min, who Spurs paid nearly £25m for last year instead of Berahino. Back in the real world, we've spent £3m on a spare Bournemouth centre back, a few million on a goalie relegated from Serie A and £4-5m on a guy who has played about 15 times for Reading. We're not going to be signing brilliant players who can easily play for teams in the Premier League, just get used to it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a speculation thread so speculate. What's the point though, in this particular case? You then went on to discuss how it might be possible. It really isn't. I know he probably wouldn't come to the championship but I think Juan Mata would be a perfect fit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 After what Xia has said and even Wyness to some extent, i don't think it's too delusional to speculate on players (within reason) who might otherwise be seen as too good for the Championship. I don't think we'll sign him for several reasons but would anyone really be that surprised if Berahino signed for Newcastle. I would initially but not too much.

sne Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 (edited) The signings so far are what I would expect from a newly relegated team. Solid but unspecular. In no way is it signings by a team that is aiming to be an european power any time soon. Would be very supriced if our spendings is any where near that of Newcastle come the end of the transfer Windows.

Jareth Posted July 9, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted July 9, 2016 3 players in, in positions desperately needed. And this is before RDM has had his week away with the squad. I think we'll see another 5 at least coming in quite quickly after they get back, then those that are leaving will be dealt with last. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What did you expect? A Europa League winning team being signed this window? Lets focus on getting promoted before we start thinking about Europe again shall we? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xia himself has said he looks to emulate a Leicester at first, rather than suddenly go on a Chelsea spending spree. We need to get solid players in at the moment, inconsistent players have bought us down to this level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post villanwesty88 Posted July 9, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted July 9, 2016 I'm pleased that by July 9th so much has happened. New owner, new board, new manager, new coaching staff and 3 new players. We would've all taken that 2 or 3 months ago wouldn't we? RDM is settling in and assessing the squad. Every day that passes gives him more insight into our strengths and weaknesses across the first team, u21 and recalled loan players. I expect we will make more signings for sure but so far very pleased. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
