I was drinking with his uncle (and agent) last week and we are watching & have spoken apparently. But so have a few other clubs. He seems a down to earth kid too. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His dad formally represents him but his uncle is called upon most of the time. Apparently the family are big Liverpool fans one side and Villa the other. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 15 hours ago, Wezbid said: If Pickford doesn't get snapped up he'd stay at Sunderland. He's a Sunderland lad. I'm 99.9% sure he'd rather try and get Sunderland back up than move to another Championship club, even the Villa. It's just realism. No way Gayle will spend another season down here either. Abraham isn't logical either with Kodjia and Hogan. We could do with another striker but it's not going to be on that scale. I'd rather go for someone banging then in lower down. This is exactly how I see it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd at least like to see them have a fair crack in pre season, unless we get pretty good offers in. If by the the end of August it's not working out, shift them out on permanent deals but no more loans please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better version of Gestede and would probably cost less. He was in the West Brom and Birmingham academies too and i think he's from the area so that might improve our chances of getting him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He then shot Grimsby out of the conference and continued to belt them in a league above before the move to Wigan. I'd offer Wigan £2m and double their investment, the guy is a goal machine.

HanoiVillan Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 I've been thinking about him for a while. He's probably the best fit for the profile of player who would be prepared to come to us on the explicit understanding that he was third choice and would be spending most of the time of the bench, yet would still clearly improve the squad. He's young and only going to get better with more pitch time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adbo9 Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 I really don't see the Amavi love in at all............ if he really was a potential "£20M left back" then he wouldn't be struggling to get in what is a mid table division 2 team............. Amavi is bang average at best, no way will we get that kind of money for him, if we can recoup our outlay that's all well get............ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villan4Life Posted April 3, 2017 Author Share Posted April 3, 2017 Linked to Bright Osayi-Samuel of Blackpool http://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/602309/Bright-Osayi-Samuel-Blackpool-Newcastle-Aston-Villa-news-gossip Quote That's according to The Sun who claim the Championship duo are both vying for the 19-year-old's services. Arsenal and Tottenham have also been tracking his progress this term. Osayi-Samuel's current contact with Blackpool expires in the summer. However, the club have the option to extend it for a further year and Osayi-Samuel is valued at around £1m. Blackpool boss Gary Bowyer has previously conceded that keeping hold of his prized asset will be a challenge. "My philosophy is simple – if people are coming to watch us, then it is a sign that we are doing something right and are helping players to progress," he said. We have some good young players here and it does not surprise me. "If there is a young player playing regular first-team football anywhere up or down the country, then the big boys have to do their job properly. “Do I want to lose any of the players? No, but I realise we are in League Two." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was at Solihull Moors before Grimsby so I saw a fair bit of him. Was so far ahead of everybody at that level so it doesn't surprise me how quickly he's risen through the leagues. He's that style of player where he's always going to be a handful no matter what the level. Not sure he has the technical ability to really challenge Kodjia and Hogan for a starting position but he'd be an option and I can't imagine he'd cost much with Wigan almost certainly going back down. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mjvilla Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 Lot of links to young talent in the football league coming through. I don't think this is a bad thing at all. Certainly be good to be at the forefront of all the good young players rather than signing them for 15 mill when they start doing well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 I'm all for finding young talents who can grow into the team and hopefully develop so we can sell with a profit (you know like proper clubs do). As long as we don't limit ourselves to any specific market. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
