He's a steal at that price, thats the kind of money prem teams play for backup players let alone starters. Is Levy advising Arsenal on their bids during this window? They have certainly become the new Spurs if they are bidding £12m for Bowen, having bid £40m for Zaha. He is a player that I would like to see us go for. Perhaps we should make a realistic offer for him and gazump Arsenal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valery has big potential Valery impressed me a lot last season. So what you are saying is why don't you come on over Valery? 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wes Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Porto have signed Ze Luis. Looks likely that Marega will be leaving as he's now been replaced. Marega has been tenuously linked to us so I thought it worth a mention. More likely to go to West Ham (what with Arnautovic handing in a transfer request this afternoon) than us in my opinion, especially considering the outlay for Wesley.

useless Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 I was actually reflecting yesterday that it might not be the worst idea for us to sign another three centre-backs, two for the first team, and then another who can also play at right-back, as I'm not sure we have enough cover there, and also because we don't really know if Chester is ever going to be the same player again. One thing about Stephens is that he can ofer us cover as both a central-defender and as a right-back, and not only that but also as a defensive-midfielder - he's apparently very good on the ball. That said I have my doubts about this link, as with above could very well just be work of his agent trying to drum up interest in his client.

MaVilla Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 (edited) its interesting to think that 2019/20 season, will be the first season (roughly) in the last 10 years where our owners are really pumping money in to the squad and future of the club. There must be numerous villa supporters where their only real experience of Villa is the Lerner years, our decline, relegation and the Xia debacle, i do feel for anyone in that boat, at least with the terrible decade or more we have had, i have some memory of the early to mid 90s when we did well. (and the O'Neill era where we did ok - although for money spent probably not as well as we should have done). i dont count the 16/17 season as that was really a desperation splurge and terrible signings to try and get us promoted, i also dont count the 15/16 season as we spent 60m but made 58m in sales. since 08/09 and possibly 09/10 seasons we havent had a "net" spend of more than 20m in a transfer window.......shocking really. It really shows how Villa hasn't been invested in for a long long time, so glad things are looking up...... the current spend for this transfer window, is our biggest NET outlay since 08/09, and is certain to be our biggest ever outlay, probably more than double our biggest ever NET outlay. NET Spend on transfers- 19/20 : 45m (to current date) 18/19 : 3m 17/18 : -14m (received 14m more than we spent) 16/17 : 37m (splurge post relegation season in desperation to get promoted, some terrible signings) 15/16 : 1m 14/15 : 11m 13/14 : 10m 12/13 : 22m 11/12 : -20m (received 20m more than we spent) 10/11 : 7m 09/10 : 23m 08/09 : 44m 07/08 : 6m 06/07 : 21m 05/06 : 9m 04/05 : 5m so excluding this season, our NET transfer spend over the last 15 YEARS is something like £162 million. So in theory if we hit the 100 million barrier this transfer window, we will have spent 62% of the equivalent net transfer spend of the last 15 years total, in ONE transfer window.
