After the playoff final DS said he couldn't go away until his daughter's GCSE exams had finished. The exam timetable goes up to 21st June, so it is very likely he is going on his holidays now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PieFacE Posted June 22, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted June 22, 2019 He said in an interview after the play-off final that he was going to the States to see his son, iirc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 On The Transfer Tavern (Talk Sport) they have just said that Spurs will take £25m for Keiran Trippier. Time for us to get a little pay back and make a £10m take it or leave it offer to Levy?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phew. I know the world has gone crazy but I was struggling “ bigly” with the idea of Villa fans begrudging Deano a long holiday! As to the substance of your Post, have to agree a Portuguese holiday just now doesn’t fit right does it.....one would indeed think it more likely business rather than pleasure.

Farlz Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 Quote LEEDS want £30million for Kalvin Phillips — to the frustration of Aston Villa. The midfielder, 23, is rated highly by the Whites and they will stand by their valuation, which is TWICE what Villa would pay. United need money for new signings but may sacrifice winger Jack Clarke, 18, instead. Villa are being priced out of other moves too, to the despair of Dean Smith. Bournemouth are quoting a big fee for Tyrone Mings, 26, after his promotion-winning loan spell at Villa Park. Stoke want too much for keeper Jack Butland, forcing them to give Jed Steer a new contract. Cardiff the same with No 1 Neil Etheridge, who has also been looked at by Liverpool. Villa are looking to bolster their squad after promotion to the Premier League. Smith's side came out on top after beating Frank Lampard's Derby in the play-off final. https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/9353349/leeds-transfer-fee-kalvin-phillips-aston-villa/?utm_medium=Social&utm_campaign=sunfootballtwitter&utm_source=Twitter#Echobox=1561226300 From Alan Nixon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deeps Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 So Nixon went from saying we’re going to sign players and be busy and surprised with the money we have to now saying we are signing none of our targets due to money.

Confused.com. Imo. Nothing will really kick off with transfers until July. and Liverpool are looking at Etheridge......do me a favour!!!! I'm sure Etheridge wouldnt consider going there to be number 2 goalkeeper and sit on the bench for the next few seasons. We knew that prices were going to be high, I'm sure Suso and Smith factored that in. It's just going to be a long summer of who blinks first and some good negotiation tactics. My nerves are not going to last the summer but for some reason I believe in the senior management team and owners we have now (despite being let down because of many false dawns from previous owners). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on needs to be honest. If other teams needs players but need to sell first, or if a good price comes in or if they feel the player might not be as good at those tournaments. Just as a player can shine at a tournament, they can also fall flat on their face and maybe 5 interested parties (clubs) get reduced down to 1 club and therefore prices reduces or another player shines at the tournament. It's all about desperation to sell/buy or money. But i take your point that i assume most will happen after individuals holidays or tournaments are completed.

thunderball Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 Everything in the press is speculation, it’s click bait, back page copy, run of the mill page fillers because not much is happening. All players do seem to be £10m - £15m more than than expected but swallow hard, pay the money because (1) we have no choice, and (2) if it works out they are worth £10-£15m more next window, possibly more. If we buy the right aged players they will be with us for 4-5 years, we only need to buy 1 or two next season and onwards. Shame if Mings doesn’t land, for us and him, it will be an interesting test of buying management - he is a talisman and offers continuity, but he is raw as well as talented and I think that is more of an issue at PL than Premier League level, so maybe the brain should rule the heart, sadly.
