Some things have been on there this week that he hasn't attributed to anyone which is a shame. That's one. Not seen any evidence anywhere. Also just now said Smith was there. It has been pretty much the only decent villa account out there and that's because there's no bull or speculation of his own. Just collation. CBA if things are going to be made up on there. Trezeguet doesn't look much good to me but haven't seen much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob182 Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 I’ve just seen something about Bournemouth being close to signing Jack Stacey from Luton for £4m (What’s that? Another bargain Premier League signing? I didn’t think they existed ). I wonder if us bidding for Mings has coincided with them forking our for him.

useless Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 Telegraph "Mings will join Wesley Moraes, Anwar El Ghazi, Kortney Hause, Jota and Matt Targett as the latest new arrival at Villa Park. Smith is also keen on Leeds midfielder Kalvin Phillips, Bristol City defender Adam Webster and Brentford’s Said Benrahma, but it is understood Villa are reluctant to pay the fees demanded. Smith flew out to Egypt over the weekend to watch two targets play at the Africa Cup of Nations." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post dont_do_it_doug. Posted July 7, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 7, 2019 We've yet to go much longer that a week without signing a player since it started kicking off. The panicking when we go 6 days feels a bit over the top. Maybe it's borne of being so immersed in the day to day click bait that when the evening comes and nothing has actually happened people feel extra deflated, I dunno. What i do think is that 6 signings by July 8th (Mings dependant) is right at the top end of what I would have hoped for. At least we can actually field a team now! 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 Playes that Smith was watching over the weekend will be from either Egypt, Cameroon, Nigeria, or Algeria, Madagascar, DC Congo, South Africa or Guinea... We have been linked to Bahoken, who scored for Cameroon, I have also wondered if we could possibly make a move for Etobo who plays for Cameroon and Stoke, very good midfielder who might possbibly be an alternative to Phillips. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice shout! Playing this weekend has been: Uganda v Senegal Morocco v Benin Nigeria v Cameroon Egypt v South Africa So none of those sadly. I suppose he may have gone earlier than reported and caught Skhiri. If it's true, it's an interesting move. Get the feeling he's trying to be convinced to sign off on a player. Or maybe both he and Suso were on the fence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or Being a top quality defender who has won most things, capped by England many times, a wealth of experience, scored overhead kicks against blue noses and probably has a soft spot for us?
