I will happily point out that our thread about their tinpot outfit has been going for 12 years, and that we also have a 380 page thread about a player we thought we were signing in September 2020 We could make 1k of pages on how to make a blues fan rich and theyd still find a way to be pissy with us, it's in there nature It could also be content of 1000 pages of Noodle cooking guides from everyone that span 12 years and they would still find a way of turning it into all about then all because the title said Birmingham city. The point is, it doesnt matter whether were nice or not or what's in there, the moment it gets written and they are mentioned, they will be onto it like a dog on heat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess Chris Mepham could be a target in next two weeks. Played for DS at Brentford alongside Konsa and was linked a few weeks back. Will be playing for Wales on Thursday. Was injured for spells of last season at Bournmouth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flashingqwerty Posted October 5, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted October 5, 2020 No deadline day signing then, sad times. Hopefully a defender and forward coming in from the championship as watkins, mings or konsa get injured and we are deep in it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhan_Zhuang Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Benrahma will surely leave but he's allegedly asking for crazy money which I don't think Villa would pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketspuds Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Who are the best young CB's in the Championship? Godfrey has gone to Everton and Rodon looks likely to move to Spurs. Obviously Mepham was highly rated last summer, but wasn't sure if there were many others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And why not if he does the job it doesnt matter, I'll point towards Ollie and the price we paid for him to the job hes done for us at the moment, 33 mill is looking a steal, no??

You cant make that judgement till he comes in and attempts the job. Look at it like this even if hes competitive with Target one of them will make the step over the other making each other in return better and improved, that's what were aiming for here at Villa as well.

paul514 Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Dael Fry? Rated as 5m on Transfermarkt, never heard of him but that's quite a high valuation for a championship centre back on that website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rather save the money until January if we have it and if we don't I would just run Taylor as back up until the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
