Mazrim Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Sinkgraven was my left back in Fifa18 once I'd got promoted. He was ace. Its an omen. Maybe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Only2McInallys Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Inspired transfers is there a formula ?No Young or old ,championship or premier league experience ,English or foreign ,huge transfer fee or free transfer,previous injury or personality flaws. Some of our greatest players-McGrath Man U reject ,alcoholic old probably the best defender we have ever had Merson- alcoholic ,drug addict,etc brilliant player for villa Pukki for Norwich 29 or 30 journey man top scorer in championship Dave Mackay for Derby 73/74 very old but led Derby to title Probably the main ingredient they all share is mental will . Its personality and inner drive that separates great players from the rest.With ability. Out of the players that have been mentioned on this thread there is only one who I think fits into this category .Milner. As regards the other players eg the Brentford posse I don’t know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Just talking about Haller earlier but what about a cheeky bid for Ante Rebic? Had a very good WC and there was talk of big clubs in for him but think a few decided he maybe wasn't technically good enough for elite CL level. Would be more than good enough for us and can play centrally or out wide in the 3. We also have Kalinic (for now) which could be useful in convincing him.

Similar to Haller, TransferMarkt has him valued at €40 million. Even if that's high, I'd still suspect he's too rich for our blood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaHatesMe Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 While we're in the market for Algerians, I wonder how much Youcef Atal would cost. Had a very nice season for Nice. Could be our CDM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I very much doubt it, as he's back home in France still recovering from ankle surgery at the end of April, and could even be doubtful for the start of the season, so I doubt if any bids have been lodged until he's made a full recovery and proved his fitness, it's all fantasy talk and cut and paste journalism doing the rounds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villabromsgrove Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 I've just come in after a great night out with family and friends, and browsed the Villa news before going to bed (as you do). I have a question .... who the F*ck are Birmingham Live, Hitc, Sports Witness, etc, etc? A bunch of teenage bloggers trolling Forums such as VT, and trying to turn posts into "NEWS". I've had enough of the clickbait shit that dominates News Now pretending to be 'NEWS'. Let's get rid of the lying *****rs by refusing to click on their pathetic totally invented "NEWS'. We do not need these parasites! These low life need to have their collective arses kicked by Villa fans. They need to be told in no uncertain terms that they are bottom feeding scum. Good night all. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Played all last season as either a RB or a right wing back though, so wouldn't see him as a CDM. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delphinho123 Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 I think that Justin would be mad to go to Leicester over us. They’re obviously an established premier league club now but we’re a much bigger club with a higher ceiling. Provided we can match whatever they’re offering in wages, I think he’d be mad not to choose us. They have two solid fullbacks in Pereira and Chilwell so might not see game time whereas both our fullback positions are up for grabs. Dunno, just seems we’re a much better option for a young fullback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have huge potential but right now leicester are miles ahead of us. They won the league a few years back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s see where the respective squads are at when the transfer window closes, if it were closing next week I’d be worried! I’ve every confidence in Dean Smith to get a competitive 11 together ready for August. And remember, Villa are the club that attracted the likes of Abraham and Bolasie last summer when they were thought to staying in Premier League. I’d imagine Bolasie regrets leaving in January!

Brentfordnylons Posted June 9, 2019 Visiting Supporter Share Posted June 9, 2019 Benrahma is rated higher than Maupay as far as transfer value so I would expect we would be looking for 20 million plus.Really hope we can keep him and Maupay for at least one more season as from what I hear we are lining up some more physical signings this summer to address our soft under belly especially away from home.Then hopefully you can all get a chance to see Maupay and Benrahma playing at Villa Park. in a Brentford shirt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just about to say the same thing. We obviously tried to steal a march by bidding early for Justin, but him and/or his agent wanted to see other offers, one now being Leicester. Be surprised if he now came to us, which is why we may have moved on already. These things happen don't they, but we are nowhere near Leicester in terms of squad, stability etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
