If selling Jack means we can bring in 3/4 guys that go straight into the first 11 and improve it, and gives us a better chance of promotion, I'm all for it. The squad is desperately in need of quality additions, if the only way we can do that is by selling Jack then so be it. We still have time to loan couple of players, I don’t think we need to sell him to get couple of new faces. But if we sold him we would need to replace with a significant figure, which I won’t trust in these couple of days. We will need a long term vision. Anyway I don’t think I’ve noticed any of these players mentioned but having my mind with what posters on here says. Stressful couple of days are coming.

Even loan players need paying, and we still have FFP to worry about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selling Ashley Young and Stewart Downing made us a lower midtable team with relegation fear until the end of every season. Selling Christian Benteke and Fabian Delph, well, it costed us our Premier League record. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shifting Gardner, Lansbury, Tshibola would sort things out. Richards has only one year left in his contract. We’ve already offload Gabby, Terry and Snodgrass wages. Hutton has lowered his wages. There are a lot of variables which would suggest we could get through without selling Grealish. We could also sell either Kodjia or Adomah and sort things out. The thing with Grealish assuming his form is upwards and no injuries its as you’re having asset which brings you reveneus, whenever you need you could sell and the longer you hold the more you sell it for. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is Bruce our main manager for the re-build? What if we failed promotion this season, where the fund will come from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post rodders0223 Posted August 7, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted August 7, 2018 What if me auntie had bollocks.. We have been saved, we aren't going into administration, we aren't selling our prized assets for £3.50, we are spending money on young, relatively exciting players, we have a reason to hope and believe again.

COME ON PEOPLE! VillaTalk reminds me of the symptoms for general anxiety disorder. Nothing but worrying about things we have zero control over until every scenario is made out to be way worse than it actually is. As you said the club is safe and everything seems to be going very well, but spend more than 5 minutes reading the threads here and it's nothing but gloom and worry and stress. I would love to see talk about our potential new signings without seeing "but what about FFP?!?!" mentioned as it's not our job to stress about that shit. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COME ON PEOPLE! Yeah, we are believing. We will always have hopes. Even in our relegation year I’ve been having some hopes. Its just that I fear the worst. We’re in a much better position than last month. We were selling Jack for nothing. But everytime things seem to go well something step us back. When you see the players we had in our relegation year, many had qualities and were promising but came in the worst time. If we had Vlaar, Benteke for another season we would have a team. Anyway, we’re in a much better position than the last couple of years. UTV! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshVilla Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Mcginn is class according to mates that watch spl he's young and spl is similar to championship so not much adjustments required sign him up we already got the Scottish cafu he could be the Scottish ronaldinho 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czechlad Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 To beat a dead horse, Sinclair was class in the SPL so I don't think it's a good indicator of talent. Plus our CM position is pretty stacked. Lansbury, and Thor can barely get minutes. No reason to sign another CM when we have more pressing needs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vive_La_Villa Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Scottish League is like league one. But a good player is a good player regardless of where he plays. I hope we sign him and get rid of Landsbury. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
