mikeyp102 Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Daniel James to Utd isn’t a bad move, but they’ve paid him £67k pw, ridiculous money. Instantly could stop his drive and hunger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 James I think is a potentially top player, Leeds had him until Swansea backed out last minute which is good business by them Will be compared to Giggs by lazy journalists Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodders0223 Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Hull sold Daniel James for £72k in 2014. I can't quite remember (...) who the manager was back then but very strange not to have a route through to the first team planned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rotten dressing room Said this when he first put the transfer request in, they have already spent £75m on de Jong, they want and probably need de ligt more, unless they sell £100m worth of players from an already wafer thin squad, so coutinho gone at probably a £60-70m loss, Suarez wages off the books etc I don't think under FFP Barca can actually afford greizmann not sure where "egos" comes in to it look at their transfer record over the last 2 maybe 3 seasons and say where he fits in that model Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted June 10, 2019 Author Share Posted June 10, 2019 I still it has more to do with team needs, cost and wages than it does the players having power over the club at £120m and £300-500k a week they don't need him, that money can be spent far better on the squad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted June 11, 2019 Moderator Share Posted June 11, 2019 Barcelona close to signing West Brom's Louie Barry It's not so much the link, as his place of birth. Aston. Grrr, silly Villa. Missed that one. Quote Barcelona are closing in on the signing of West Brom's 15-year old forward, Louie Barry. Sky Sports News understands West Brom are keen on keeping their prodigious talent, but fear a move to the Nou Camp may prove too tempting to turn down. The prolific striker, who has been at West Brom since he was six, has attracted the attentions of a host of top clubs after scoring 10 goals in five games for England U15s. He then went on to claim the golden boot at the Val-de-Marne U16s tournament in November last year. Three months later, he scored two goals for England U16s against Brazil. He has also played for the Republic of Ireland's youth teams, being eligible to play for both. Several West Brom youth players have broken into the Baggies' first team over the past couple of seasons. Sam Field, Rekeem Harper and Kyle Edwards have all featured in 2019, and Albion will hope that this pathway to first-team action will be enough to persuade Barry to stay.

sne Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 (edited) Alexander Isak on his way to Real Sociedad for as little as 7-8 m Euro. Still a lot of money for a 19 y.o but I't will be interesting to see how he fares there. One I would have liked us to take a punt on. Edit: Ah well...

Delighted he's moving to a club where he will get (in principle) regular football, was fantastic on loan at Willem II last season.

villa4europe Posted June 12, 2019 Author Share Posted June 12, 2019 was thinking the same with the de ligt to PSG rumours (and de jong to barca rumoured figures) I can understand the inflated transfer fees they are what they are but to take a kid from ajax on maybe 20-30k a week and then to offer him 350k a week?! that jump is **** up the only silver lining is that I think under FFP it makes squad building near impossible, PSG might have the luxury of filling the squad out with kids in the league but a CL winning squad seems beyond them because they have 2/3 players on ridiculous wages, its hindered barca over the last couple of years too to be fair to city they seem to avoid it, got a squad of very well played players but no one seems to be way out there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
