More details in our portal. Defensive midfielder? Really? According to Jim White and a handful of our fans, Villa are done spending in this window...? Unless there were legs in the Nakamba to Turkey rumours I don't see this happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farlz Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 We can sign no one else and I'd be perfectly fine with that. A couple positions could do with something but signing that many players again is unrealistic and not something I want anyway. I'm very happy with the business we've done.

I'm not being greedy, I'm not expecting more but I think it's safe to say Nas & Wes will say when we're done, not Sky Sports or aload of journalists. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thabucks Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Shipping Nakamba out and getting Roca in is just well a no brainer ... Reports say his price has dropped to £9 mill... I agree probs just our name being used to drum up interest/price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danceoftheshamen Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Hmmmn, Seems like this re-opening of the Rashica thread is a cause of the mods getting quite a bit of Stick-il back them to make the right decision at some point however 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farlz Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 The Rashica thread was just fish, tits and then the occasional random tweet about how absolutely nothing has changed regarding the deal Not much of a surprise the mods got fed up and locked it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted October 1, 2020 Author Share Posted October 1, 2020 (edited) Roca is more of a (defensive) playmaker than a defensive destroyer. Fantastic passing. Edited October 1, 2020 by sne 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote Sheffield United are interested in signing Espanyol midfielder Marc Roca, according to Spanish publication Sport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tez500 Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 We need Nakamba to get his mate Rashica over the line! I also wouldn't be in a rush to get rid as I think he will be better this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Roca is great. Physicality would be his issue coming to the PL though. Took Doug some time to figure it out. We do need cover for Luiz really, Marvellous isn't good enough on the ball. But we're definitely onto the nice-to-haves rather than essential list by now.

Bayern were after him for big money a year ago. Doubt there's anything in it as CM is the one area we're well stocked in but I wouldn't say no!

Not sure if it was mentioned before, but interesting to note that the Instagram photo that he (Nakamba) shared of himself & Rashica was also liked by a certain Ahmed Elmohamedy.
