But this is flawed thinking, all of the players would need to have the same agent. I'm not sure we've signed many Spanish players recently? I certainly doubt he has the same agent as Glenn Whelan either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think he had one when he came in on loan and Villa would know by now what state he's in. There's always a medical for any transfer where money is trading hands, the buying club needs to know there aren't any underlying injuries that may resurface as this could change the price or stop the transfer altogether, and then they can take out insurance on that player against various things which can't happen without a medical being completed, it's standard even if a loan is made permanent.

Popular Post PieFacE Posted June 10, 2019 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted June 10, 2019 I like all the ITK speculation. Something to keep me relatively entertained. Get to learn about new players too. People complaining about it is far more annoying than people posting stuff. It is a speculation thread afterall. 24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like you said, he's lost his regular role, but he's a good player. Even if he doesn't fit the mold of young with resale value, I think he would be a smart move for us if the price were right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love it, gives me an excuse to go and research some players I've never heard of, and end up finding out random stuff, like I had no idea Daniele Bonera was at Villarreal and still going at 38, and wouldn't of done had I not looked up Pablo Fornals. Plus, I like to work out how these players might fit in to our squad/system. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could say the same about Grealish prior to the 10 game winning run. The stat's don't show exactly what he does on the pitch which is create chances whilst taking players out of the game. However I know very little about Fornals to say if he is a player in a similar mould. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smartin Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 40 minutes ago, Teale's 'tache said: After a bit of research on Pablo Fornals, he seems to be mainly an attacking central midfielder... we are pretty stocked in that area already, so I'd be surprised if we are throwing big money at this. https://www.whoscored.com/Players/297203/Show/Pablo-Fornals https://www.transfermarkt.com/pablo-fornals/profil/spieler/357885 He'd be a very expensive back up for Grealish... Id be very surprised if this happens, but I do think that a lot of people are assuming we will set up with exactly the same system next season as this season. It is easy to forget this is largely not Dean Smith's team yet. Imagine Grealish, Fornals and AEG all interchanging... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is easy to forget this is largely not Dean Smith's team yet. Imagine Grealish, Fornals and AEG all interchanging... Smith has primarily stuck to the same kind of system for a few years now, although it is a flexible system with interchangeable parts. He moulded the players to his system rather than the other way around last year. So I'd say he's looking for players for that system or similar with an eye on a plan B if required. My research on Fornals led me to believe he mainly sticks to the center and that's where most of his best ratings are, also his attributes are all similar to Jacks. I've not seen enough of him to really say much more than that. I wouldn't be surprised if we spent big money on one player but I'd think it wouldn't be in an area where we already have plenty of quality. I'm thinking most likely a striker or defensive midfielder would be the areas we really need to fill with quality, and a new left back wouldn't hurt either...
