AshVilla Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 (edited) Attacking options are still a big concern for me. Still need a decent winger and a striker. Green wasn't good enough to start at championship level and we can't rely on kodija as backup when nobody knows how wesley is going to adapt. Benrahma provided his Injury issue is behind him and Maupay would be icing on the cake. Edited July 12, 2019 by AshVilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I disagree but I'd hardly call it a concern given the way Smith and co are going about their business this summer and the backing being given. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

omariqy Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Got told a few weeks ago that we were also negotiating for a keeper from a European club as another option. Won't share a name as I read other clubs are in for him and we know journalists love to get their stories from VT. Hes a good player tho and I think he is 26 or 27 and I would be confident we wouldn't see many howlers from him if he signed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HKP90 Posted July 12, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted July 12, 2019 Just now, Made In Aston said: Where are all those people that were panicking about the lack of signings two weeks ago?! I’m here. Wasn't panicking but concerned. You have to admit that the business we’ve done since then has been pretty unprescedented. Nice of you to rub it in btw. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just his date of birth, club, height and previous clubs will do. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jas10 Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 (edited) According to Dave Jordan, on the Jonny Gould podcast, we can comfortably spend at least £124m on transfers (19:00) this season: https://m.soundcloud.com/jonnygouldfootball/dave-jordan-yorkshireavfc-is-back-with-villas-new-premier-league-fortunes-revealed I think we’ve spent about £97m so far. It’s well a worth a listen anyway, very interesting with some info regarding FFP and more. I wonder how much further business we are going to do...

villarule123 Posted July 12, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted July 12, 2019 A month to go and suddenly we only need a winger (after Trezeguet) and another striker to have an almost complete squad. It's been a brilliant window for us so far, but a RW is a huge issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveAV1 Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 I think we’ll still be interested in Phillips or another DM. The first team is shaping up, but we don’t have a great deal of strength in depth still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we are nearing the stage where we'd be interested in anyone who would improve the squad or first 11, now or for the future. We're almost at the end of the 'need' to get the squad in place - signings now should result in "Hause ain't good enough" or "Get rid of El Ghazi, he's shit" in a summer of 2. When we sell them to Bristol or Brentford for £20m. Or Leeds for £30m. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ponky Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 I love how people were saying not much would happen after the team left for the US. And it's absolutely kicking off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
