I think Benrahma might play his face up for a move and if we offer a fair fee say £12-15m then it might help them make a dent in the debt of a new stadium esp when there's not going to be any fans in it for however long. Dream on, We only sell at our valuation as Villa discoverd last year, we were the only Championship club to post a profit last season (£20 Million profit made on player sales alone), and that did not count with the sale of Maupay £18.5M, Konsa £12M + 3 more making a grand total of close on £40M profit that goes on this seasons books, and this is the only way we survive by buying players cheap, developing them and selling them on at premium prices, as far as the new stadium goes there is very little debt as Griffin Park is destined for prime housing and was purchased by the developers who built our new stadium and the surrounding flats, After yesterdays disaster at Swansea we have a uphill battle to join you in the Premiership, as we peaked far to early, It is more than likely that Benrahama will move on anyway, and the feeling is the fee will be in the region of £25-30 Million with Chelsea allegedly leading the chase. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaVilla Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 (edited) Im gonna bury my head in the sand and beleive Grealish stays....... So, assuming max cash to splash (180m), personally, i would go for: GK - unsure - 20m (just because i believe Heaton will be out for a while yet?, and not ready for the new season) DR/L - Aarons - 25m MC - Doucoure - 25m MC - unsure? (need a second DM/MC tho) - 20m W - Buendia - 35m W - Benrahma or Cantwell 30m S - Mitrovic - 25m (mainly as Wesley wont be ready for the new season, and i dont want us relying on Samatta/Davis entirely) Edited July 27, 2020 by MaVilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see Chelsea going for Benrahma if they get Havertz. I personally think a fee between £20m and £25m would do it. He's one of the best players in the Championship and would make a big difference to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 I don't think anyone will pay much more than £20m for Benrahma, he's a good player and would improve us, but I think he's way overrated on here, gets goals and assists and can obviously come up with moments of brilliance but also gives the ball away an awful lot trying to do unnecessary things, and he's 25 this year and hasn't proven anything at an higher level than the championship, and I say all that as someone who thinks he would be a good signing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with this, would expect 30m given prices elsewhere and looks worth every penny. Though I obviously need to toe the villa talk line which is that you must sell to us as it's a buyer's market except for in the case of jack grealish.

Not to say there aren't good buys there, but there's no way these all happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramshackler Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 I admire the positivity in this thread, but I fear this will be a disappointing transfer window. Not convinced our owners will spend heavily without knowing what Jack's plans are. Can see a jack transfer going down to the wire, frustrating everything Also can see alot of uncertainty in the market. Covid , losses what is the new normal? People will be cautious about spending large amounts and likewise clubs will be reluctant to sell for less than the going rate last year. Could be a slow window all round I fear Hope I'm wrong! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaVilla Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Just now, gwi1890 said: All relegated players and? So if Villa got relegated you wouldnt advise another Prem team to sign Grealish? All relegated teams have at least a couple of very Premiership worthy players., getting hung up over them being relegated is just silly. Just for example, Grealish (could have been), Gana, Veretout, Adama, Westwood, Ayew........all relegated or nearly relegated with Villa.......all premiership quality, its just they played with a lot of cr*p players, or werent quite ready themselves at the time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to see him in a Villa shirt, as I can't stand Chelsea, or Arsenal (another interested club) but you will have to pay the price, £20M is far too low as he still has 2 years left on his contract, and that always puts the price up, If Villa are seriously interested in him they don't need to mess up any bidding with us like they did last time (allegedly) and miss the boat.
