avfc1982am Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 I really think we will be in for a few more surprises yet as far as signings go, as the figures banded about for some of the players from the UK are ridiculous. I think Jesus and co will use the continent to bring in the bulk of the signings this summer. We have trust in our coaching staff now, and new found professionalism as a club to ensure foreign signings are given all the help necessary to settle as quickly as possible. Unlike our last season in the Prem which was F****** cowboy s***! I don't think we should be too concerned regarding experience from these shores. As we already have a several starters, that with 2 or 3 more will then make up the majority of the starting 11. Add Wes and 4 or 5 more from abroad and I think we not far off being good to go. It's then down to coaching which is where the real graft will be this summer/autumn. Getting things to gel quickly will be the tricky part imo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s exactly what past managers would have signed from Mon to Bruce. I think that’s why it would be so infuriating if we signed him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vive_La_Villa Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 (edited) All those against signing Championship players are right. I think we would just sign some highly rated young players from Europe and the French league in particular and play them alongside some older British based players that have had lots of Premier league appearances. Thats the way forward... Edited June 28, 2019 by Vive_La_Villa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One example - I don’t think Scott Sincler would have offered much in the championship but he tore the Scottish Prem apart. He was a class player in the championship, scored 27 goals from the wing the year Swansea got promoted!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 A lot of our players who get lambasted whilst here, go on to do very well for themselves elsewhere. You could probably make a very good team consisting of such players. I think with Smith though with his guiding principle on how the game should be played, we're creating an environment where players can thrive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesBCFC Posted June 28, 2019 Visiting Supporter Share Posted June 28, 2019 Here's a post on our forum from someone who's actually ITK. Quote Right, an update on Webster. Villa are seriously interested and have come back in with a bid much higher than the previous £12m. The bid is for a total package of around £20m which I understand has been turned down. They are not a million miles away from our valuation though and having previously thought Webster would stay this summer (especially with Kalas joining) I now think there's a high chance our valuation will eventually be met and there's little chance of him turning down the opportunity to increase his salary three/four-fold and play Prem football. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is true then it wouldn’t surprise me if Webster handed in a transfer request. You can’t stop a young lad playing in the Premier League when the club that wants him are also offering ridiculous money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
