They couldn't stop him talking to us if we met the fee Yeah it's unlikely I agree and I get the point about the wages but he is a class player that I think would add so much to our defence I agree that he's a quality player but there's no way on earth he would join us. He could go to any top four side in Europe so why join us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ponky Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 Mooy is a downgrade on McGinn but an upgrade on Hourihane, IMO. Would be a good option but Huddersfield would probably want Brentford money for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really attitude I would appreciate if honest 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most likely no but worth a shot I too would love Alderweireld, quality CB and always has been.. but £30m for a 30yr old... Na. Besides, he will have a que of suitors - most I imagine offering CL football. You've more chance of seeing me at Villa playing CB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tayls Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 (edited) Maybe some people are missing the point again... with all this Philips, Butland, Webster talk with fees of upwards of 25million... maybe, we aren’t going to be spending that sort of money on players... that’s why the stories have been dragging on for so long now. Perhaps we made enquires, were given a price, said no, and have already moved on... i guess only a couple of people on here can indicate whether that is the case or not. But surely we can’t be expected to spend the best part of say, 70m, on three players. Makes no sense. Edited July 4, 2019 by Tayls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaFaninLondon Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 Alderweireld would be amazing but almost certainly wouldn't come. It would impress me if the owners had the ambition to go for him but he would have better options. I think we've more chance of getting Dier or Wanyama from Spurs, neither getting much game time. Reckon Wanyama could be a decent shout, would take him over Phillips and reckon he'd be cheaper. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thabucks Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 (edited) Erm we are a recently promoted club who hasn’t won anything in years . Zero chance Alderweireld would come here and forgo championship league football ! Reality check is needed if anyone thinks otherwise. Wanyama is on his way down and has been for a while with little resale value . Sure he could do a job but doesn’t fit out current model and spurs being spurs probably rate him @ £25million ....

villabromsgrove Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 I think the plan is to sign up and coming players, rather than downward spiralling ones. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can only say no EDIT : Actually, they could say no on one of those musical cards that has the laughing policeman recorded on it. That'd be really hurtful. Best not to try. Arsenal are looking at a lot of people the only problem is they think it's the early 2000's and think they can get everyone they want (Tierney, Zaha, Fraser) for a combined total of 40mill. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man Utd just spent almost that amount on one right back with one season of experience. £70m for 3 players is pretty cheap now. Where have you guys been for the past 3 or 4 years?! I’m surprised that people find it so surprising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To previous poster's point I will argue I don't believe +80% of the rumours we're associated with whether I like the target or not. That makes the alleged transfer fee irrelevant and probably just the agents drumming up a price. Also AWB is phenomenal player but that's expensive but hey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because Huddersfield’s were collectively awful last season doesn’t mean those players in question are .... Veretout Gana were relegated with us now look at them.... I’d take Kongolo and Billing at the right money in a flash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
