Not unless the price makes it worth the gamble. I can't see any club even considering offering big money at this stage, which I'm sure will not distress Brentford at all. We need fit players to have a full preseason and hit the ground running. So I would suggest Villa move on from Benrahma for now. There are plenty of other options. I also think it's time the Benrahma topic was put to bed for the time being, it will surface again once he's up and playing, but never, say never.

There was an article about McGinn trying to convince Steer to play for Scotland the other day, I’ll try and link it. I doubt he’s get in to the England squad, but I’m not sure how good the Scotland squad depth is Edited June 9, 2019 by alreadyexists 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be sweet to get a few more in quick, don't want us to be taking part in silly season and rushing at the end for signings. Will be the happiest chap on the planet if Mings, lolley, Maupay, ghazi, Hause, Roofe are all announced thus week. Oh and this rumour of Maxi Gomez are all done this week. Think Steer should be our no1 but have competition for him. What's happening with Kodjia?? I think we should sell or let go.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's meant to be eligible for Scotland. Super John says he's trying to get him to convert. I would if I was him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made In Aston Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 (edited) The benrahma rumour from france seems like BS. Why would villa bid in euros? If they bid in pounds then why 8.9m? It's like someone on mainland Europe made up a rumour and came up with a round sum like €10m. Surely if villa had bid it would be £10m? If they had inside knowledge they would know the true value (which is unlikely to be some random amount such as £8.9m). Granted it could be an error and they meant £10m, but i'm taking this with a pinch of salt for now. Edited June 9, 2019 by Made In Aston 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they are forgetting that Martin O'Neill isn't our manager anymore. I'm certain they do know who are manager is and I am sure somewhere in the sky universe there will be someone rolling out a story about him imminently about to sign for us before inexplicably something different happens. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketspuds Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Steer did well for 6 month's in the Championship, but I don't believe he will be good enough for a consistent run in the PL. We should be aiming high as Wolves did with Rui Patricio, although the circumstances of his signing were a little fortunate. If we can get him for under £15m, I would go for Butland.

Popular Post TrentVilla Posted June 9, 2019 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted June 9, 2019 It’s the same every single window. Things are happening behind the scenes but take time especially at this stage of the summer. Meanwhile the press link us with everyone as they use their transfer tumbola to literally pull names from a hat in what can only be described as throwing shit at a wall and hoping something sticks. Occasionally they will get a name right and when they do they trip over themselves to report how the deal is progressing despite not having a clue. Normally they get way ahead of the reality then when it doesn’t conclude to their BS timescale they throw out additional BS about issues or other clubs. Every year people buy it, listen to their guff and go apoplectic that things “aren't happening” or aren’t quick enough or people have gone on holiday. Its the absolute definition of silly season. The club started preparation for this window, with a plan for the PL immediately following the Milwall game. They were as prepared as possible. These things take time, we’ve cleared the decks, we’ve identified targets and we’ve made approaches. We need to just sit back, wait patiently as possible and trust the people running our club at all levels who I would argue are the most capable (collectively and individually) in at last 12 years. There is a huge huge amount to be done, we need to significantly improve the size and quality of the squad, I’m sure Smith, Suso and Purslow are abundantly clear about that and working on nothing but that issue. I’d also point out you don’t hire a guy like Suso and then work with a Martin O’Neill blinkered transfer market approach. So relax, try and enjoy your summer oh and whatever you do, don’t take any notice of Alan Nixon or Gregg Evans! They really haven’t the first clue, I know this for a fact. Let’s see what the next couple of weeks bring! 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we will see a conveyor belt of talented players come through our ranks, show great progress to become highly sort after only and be sold for large profit. Teams like Ajax/Dortmund have done this for years and have still had success although it does come in cycles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
