AntrimBlack Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 2 hours ago, Vive_La_Villa said: I’m not disputing whether they are good players or not. But its proof that it can take young players from abroad time to settle so there is always a risk in signing this type of player too. Look im not saying we shouldn’t look for value abroad and I also agree that 20-30m million is a ridiculous sum for a Championship player with 2 good seasons. I just think we finally have the right owners and setup at the club for the first time in years so I’d like to believe we can trust them. If they think Webster is worth paying over the odds for them then I’m happy with it. Or proof that they need a decent manager. Not Sherwood. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially when he was only their manager for about 3 months. Plus Gueye and Ayew seemed to manage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may have an impact this season but it won’t be for Villa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thabucks Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 (edited) We were (apparently) in for Eder Balanta previously last January ... I wonder if we will go back in for him as a alternative to Mings? Breel Embolo has just gone for £9million . £1 million more than the reported price of Charlie Austin .

If that was a Championship team I think it would win the league Wolves style. So on that basis I reckon it would have a good crack at staying up.

peterms Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 I can't make sense of these transfer fees. I'm still trying to cope with the shock of us getting £100k for Tony Hateley. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went to Schalke when he was still promising (remember the fuss over him and a guy who went to Watford in 2015) but got a very bad injury and not been the same since. Balanta I belive is popular on the FM game...was linked to big moves but went to Basle where I assume he still is. Has a few Colombia caps but not called up in a while. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need a full squad to stay up and as it stands we don't even have a first eleven. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketspuds Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 Although we've spent a lot of money on Wesley I still feel like we need, and hopefully want, another high quality striker. Butland would be great at one end but it's goals that really matter in the PL. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But i feel we need someone who can play behind a striker and create / score goals. Easier said than done. I don't think we need another striker like Wesley. Obviously I don't mean him exactly, but someone like Son at Spurs would give us something we don't have in the squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flashingqwerty Posted June 30, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted June 30, 2019 15 hours ago, sir_gary_cahill said: Why has he played for England all of the way up from u16s when I first saw him to the full side then? The coaches obviously saw something in him. As for the zulu sign, he’s obviously trying to wind the crowd up, you don’t see that much these days, I think it’s good Carlton Palmer played loads for England, i suppose you rated him too? Spawned the chant "if Carlton Palmer can play for England so can i" Just because someone wins an England cap, by no means makes them a decent player.
