Summer Transfers Window 2020

[striker 1,840]

Still feel Villa are a bit light particularly in striker, wide forward, LB and CB positions for their business to be finished this window.

I would honestly rather spend the January budget now to cover those positions rather than waiting until January should injuries occur.

Benramha and Edouard are available and yes I know would be very expensive but signing those two would release others to play in different positions.

Turns out rob and bbc were right no more money

Well apart from the 11 million we are going to spend on Barkley playing on loan for us.

And Martinez, and Traore.

Better hope Traore is good then. 

Exactly and he didnt really give us any comfort based on last night .. we certainly need another signing or at least two. Something inside me says we need another defender badly and an attacking player.. whether they are loans or not im not bothered but we just need them in. Because most of those players yesterday are borderline first team players and that is worrying.

current crop are capable of a 12th position finish 

Two quality additions in those areas mentioned and we could break Top Ten

I would guess if 2 or 3 go one more might come in and I would think it will be a striker.

Nyland wasn't on the bench last night so maybe he will be off. Got a feeling El Ghazi might go too. If they both go then that might enable us to get this last attacker in. Fingers crossed we can get rid.

You could maybe rent out lansbury to wella or another hair company so he could model his hair and famous good looks..god knows he is useless at everything else including football

Judging by the chance he missed last night all that lovely hair is there to hide his 50p shaped head

I have just read online that he is out injured with a back problem, so I wouldn't get too excited just yet.

 

Orjan Nyland

Injury: Back. Pulled up in training and hasn't featured since Burton Albion on September 15.

Target return date: Not available.

What Dean Smith said: "He's got a back injury he's had for the last week which is why we've pulled him out of the last couple of squads."

I think we are done with incoming transfers:

Aston Villa boss Dean Smith says he does not expect any more new faces to arrive, unless there are some outgoings.

"I think we are quite happy with what we've got at the moment," said Smith.

"We set a target of what we wanted and the positions and we are comfortable with that.

"We will have to keep our finger on the pulse in case anyone comes in for our lads. If there are outs then there's a possibility of ins after that."

I'm confused. Yesterday allegedly Purslow, now Smith, and some accurate Twitter ITKs have implied we're done for transfers in but some think Rashica still on?

I am going to send PM’s to 20 random posters. 5 will be abuse, 5 will be Kenneth Williams Gifs, 5 will be fish puns and 5 will be some very reliable ITK information I have just received.

I hope those 20 lucky posters are happy with what they get.

Not going to post anymore on that matter as it just seems to be pissing the forum off and causing unrest to many of the delicate posters on here so it's easier not to with the hassle it's causing.

So instead I've PM'd the latest and last update on this to 5 random posters.

Let's wait and see. Overall, a good transfer window from the Club.

 

 

can I have a PM please?

Smith has said "If there are outs then there's a possibility of ins after that."

I'd say we're done at 11pm on Monday for foreign transfers and then another week after that for domestic transfers. Nobody has said that is it as of now.

[tomav84 1,406]

if we're in a sell to buy situation now, then i reckon we're done. just dont see any of the unwanted leaving now...not for money that will allow us to bring anyone decent in anyway

Would guess it’s more about squad places than money.

If we don't sign another striker then we should have never have let Samatta go.
