Rongier's main link appears to be with Marseilles at the moment, who are looking at a couple of midfield options. They do refer back to an older article thinking he could be purchased for around £13.5m (which I think we knew already). Marseille are having to sell to cover FFP (Think I read 50M euros worth of players), so I don't think they'll be buying anyone atm.

Can we at least agree on that? Give me something. Please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying he isnt good but is he really what we need? PL ready? I agree and feel that if we are 'planning to do a Wolves' next season these types of players are not the answer. Webster is also extremely expensive for someone who has had one decent season in the Championship, much like Phillips. The only player we've been linked with from the Championship so far that has filled me with confidence is Butland. Other than that I'd rather we continue scouting the Dutch, Belgian and French leagues and try to sign more Wesleys. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaFaninLondon Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 It's a shame Trossard went to Brighton, as I feel we're a much bigger pull than them. He would have been a good signing for us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although, I trust Smith and I'm sure that anyone he brings in will have been scouted thoroughly, it's just the 'value' of Championship players that bugs me. Instead of looking at a player who's probably had 1-2 good seasons in the Championship, and paying around £20m for them, because of the British/ Championship 'You're Villa so we'll ask for double' premium, there are options like El Ghazi, that you can get for a snip. Prior to coming to us, El Ghazi made 70 appearances for Ajax and 39 for Lille, playing in the Champions League and scoring against Barca. A risk? Yes. Proven ability at a higher level? Arguably, Yes. Cheaper? Hell YES. I think some of these Championship links will happen, even if it's just 2 or 3, including Jota, but I'm hoping that we end up with much more of a mix. I trust that Suso and the lads are scouting the whole World. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we are spending the same amount on a player from those leagues you just mentioned I’d sooner we signed Webster who is regarded as one the best defenders in the Championship. Also Wolves defence last season had 3 players out of 5 that came from lower leagues. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s an idiot. 2 seasons in a row he’s tried to be a hero and win a cup which has led to ridiculous number of games in a short space of time costing them the playoffs. Then he moans about injuries and number of games. Now he has another 4 years to continue making the same mistakes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichiBoi11 Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 I certainly think that some of the players we've been linked with such as Webster or Benrahma would be great signings if we could get them in, but for the fees being touted I'd be amazed if Suso hasn't got alternatives from the continent to consider as well. My only concern with foreign signings is their time to adapt. We just need to get these guys in with enough time to settle in to English football if we do bring more players in like Wesley. You don't want the core of the team just getting into their stride when we are halfway through the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Numerous people listing attitude as one of Trossard's best attributes. Shame as it's a position we definitely need padding out. Hopefully he's not one who'll be off for £70m in one year time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really doesn't matter which league they're in if our staff all agree that they can do the business for us. Bargains are sometimes there to be had but always come with a greater risk and if we don't need to take risks, then we shouldn't. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
