To cut a lot of that chat at source I'll say this. There are probably less than 10 world class strikers in the world all of which cost over £50m and are firmly held assets at their respective clubs. I'd say our chances of signing of signing one of those would be around 1% and maybe that's being optimistic. I think if we are being ambitious we could get someone with the potential to be world class. Though you could say that about Adama to be honest. Nobody here actually thinks we'll be signing a genuinely world class striker. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1958Villan Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Surely the only contract anyone would offer Balotelli, is a pay if you play one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
royken86 Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 World class is a bit ambitious. Think he is playing to loosely with the word. Anyway I hope they don't stop with a full back and a striker. Think we need a better backup goalkeeper. And another center midfielder at the least. Possibly a center back and a right winger also.

limvillian Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 It's Remy from Chelsea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alreadyexists Posted August 21, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted August 21, 2016 My money's on Ballotelli now you mention him, and IF RDM can get him to play (fairly big if) then he could be devastating in the Championship and very good in the PL. Massive gamble though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mwj Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 The Mariano link wasn't a link. It was that Shelley bird on Twitter adding "Real #9" comment together and getting 43. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interestingly on the same night as Xia and Wyness met with reps from several Villa fan websites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aside from that, already being in the minority. I think Balotelli with his head in the right place could potentially piss this league. However if Morrison has been turmed down due to past problems no way it will be Balotteli. Lol Edited August 21, 2016 by JAMAICAN-VILLAN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 It didn't start with Shelly, it started with the avillafan twitter. Who I think I'm right in saying had rep at the meeting with Xia and Wyness. I think it's also plausible to imagine that Xia might view a striker from them (Real Madrid) as being world class. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rubberman Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Hmmm...no midfielder. That's a worry if RDM doesn't kiss and make up with Veretout. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The goal after 1.10 is identical to the Clark o.g in the Ireland vs Sweden Euro game and the goal after 2.45 is pure quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My theory is those people that have the time and inclination to make such videos are probably to young to appreciate good music.
