Bowen and Benrahma, were much discussed on here, it would be more than annoyingly to see them both end up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are watching West Ham board, you should definitely sign this lad called Henri Lansbury.

DCJonah Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Benrahama way too expensive at that price for a back up role in this team. Very quiet on buendia. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KMitch Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 As much as I want to buy a few more players to strengthen the squad this season, I'm very happy with the progress we've made on building the squad this summer. Watkins, Barkley, and Martinez are top half talents, Cash looks like he's got a lot of promise, and while the jury is still out on Traore, he offers us another option in our weakest position in the squad. Most of us are still worried about the lack of depth in the squad and rightly so, especially after injuries to Wesley, Heaton, and McGinn almost saw us relegated last season. The key here is that building a strong squad will take time. You need to keep buying players better than or as good as your starters, not just better than those on your bench. Keeping hold of our spine and another 4-5 quality players next summer, who are as good or better than our strongest players in those positions, is how we progress. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trickster Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 I'm not sure these Benrahma rumours are true personally. Sounds like a thing an agent would put out. It's not really being widely reported either, even with Sky 'reporting' it 2 days ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Quote Revealed: Aston Villa in concrete move to sign big name by 5pm on Friday By Wayne Veysey 12th October 2020 at 7:15am Aston Villa are launching a concrete move to sign Josh King from Bournemouth ahead of Friday’s 5pm domestic cut-off. Sky Sports reported last night that West Ham have had a £13million bid rejected for the Norway international, 28. A recruitment source has told Football Insider that Villa are still keen on winning the race for King and have been encouraged that he is keen on a move to the Midlands. Dean Smith’s side are readying a major bid of their own for King despite spending around £75million on new players in the main window. Villa will first need to offload senior stars from their wage bill, with Football Insider revealing last week they are listening to offers for Henri Lansbury, Frederic Guilbert and Anwar El Ghazi. The battle for King is likely to be one of the headline deals of the short domestic window that closes on 16 October. Subscribe to Football Insider TV now Significantly, rival suitors West Brom are no longer in the running after King made it clear he does to want the transfer. As revealed by Football Insider, the forward has “no interest” in a move to the Hawthorns and is holding out for a transfer to a “bigger club”. Villa fit the bill after two summers of big spending transformed Smith’s squad and their 7-2 demolition of Liverpool a week ago grabbed interest around the globe. King is regarded as very likely to leave Bournemouth by Friday evening. He has scored 48 goals in 161 Premier League appearances although he was not prolific in attack last season with just six goals and four assists to his name in 26 top-flight games.

Goal involvement every 100 minutes is nothing to sniff at. Seems like he's very well versed in playing in the centre of a front 3.

Nothing about that is concrete if we have to sell players that the teams that would want them can't afford to pay their wages. We also have Louie Barry, Archer, and Shapoke in the reserves. 3 very promising youngsters. Wesley is due back an a couple of months. I'm not going to fret over a strikers. Would prefer to blood one of those youngsters than play an average Premier league 28 year old. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vive_La_Villa Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Even if we were in for Benrahma I think he would move to West Ham. Could see them offering higher wages and also you have the London factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West Ham’s ground is shit, a glorified athletics stadium. London meh, hasn’t stopped us signing good players up to now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
