LakotaDakota Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 (edited) I know they are a dying breed but still think we could do with a Milner/Snodgrass type player. Sure we have lots of young potential but we could/would benefit from a complete no-nonsense workhorse that has been around the block a bit and just gets stuck in and drags everyone else with them when things inevitably go wrong in some games. Diego Costa is more than capable of doing this from the front and if he's likely to end up at Everton/West Ham/Wolves he could be an unlikely option that would provide a wealth of experience. Time for JT to have a chat with an old mate and get him on the cheap? Edited July 11, 2019 by LakotaDakota 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 That he's going to Sheffield United is come from that James McCann on twitter. I had a look on a Sheffield United forum, and their resident 'iTK' poster seems to think that Maupay to them has 'hit the rocks', and he could actually end up at Bournemouth... I don't know if he is actually ITK, but all the other posters on there seem to believe him, so must have been right with things in the past. I'm personally not sure about Maupay, have a feeling he could another Vydra type, looks brilliant in the championship, but not so good in the Premier league. If we sign another striker would prefer someone with more pace, like that Leoa we were linked to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made In Aston Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Found this little piece on Engels style of play... He is a confident 6ft 4in central-defender, who can dominate all aerial duels irrespective of the height on the cross. He is also a calm player and is capable of controlling the ball and clearing even in high-pressure situations. While he is a big lad, he certainly gets around and even has an impressive goal-scoring record for a central defender. His abilities will be useful in the Premier League’s aggressive footballing nature. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshVilla Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Will be pissed if Maupay goes to Sheff United. I really think he'd thrive at Villa under Dean. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted July 11, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted July 11, 2019 In a strange way it would kinda make sense for us to wait til a different club agrees a fee for Maupay before making an offer, we can just match it then. No idea if transfers work that way but I think clubs would quote us higher prices because of our situation. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villarocker Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 We really need to wait on making any further signings fellas. Ashley wants Steve Bruce at Newcastle and has a war chest of £90m waiting for him to spend plus any money made from the potential sales of Hayden and Longstaff - making a total of over £100m to spend. Surely, we should then be preparing ourselves for £20m bids for Hogan and Elmohamady? That'll come in handy when we go into negotiations with Brentford and Leeds for Maupay, Benrahma and Phillips Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyh29 Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 (edited) I can’t see Sheff U dropping £20m on a player , they are more likely to be signing Callum Robinson Edited July 11, 2019 by tonyh29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their own manager kinda said they wouldn’t be in our league spending wise , I think the board there will have one eye on this being a one season deal and not mortgaging the clubs future £20m isn’t impossible I guess I’m just not so sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's common practice but you run the risk of a deal being kept private by the buying team (offer conditional on it not being announced) and then missing out totally.

It was the usual £20 million but he’s currently in the Brentford end of season double discount sale, with 25% off, interest free and pay nothing until 2021.
