Now I just want to get to the start and have our squad ready without the noise. This is the best bit of the season for me. Full of hopes and dreams, crazy twitter bullshit and wishful thinking! Once the season starts reality sets in and the misery returns. 2 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RicRic Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 21 minutes ago, kidlewis said: Whilst I agree, I am not suggesting we sign four players to compete with existing players. id expect those four players to be good enough to simply push McGinn, Targett etc straight to the bench. each signing should be £30m+ and that’s getting you to £120m Straight away. Maybe I’ve misjudged our financial situation and FFP but not sure whether we have £200m to smash on a whole squad who will take a fair while to gel. id much rather go straight for the best players we can, rather than find 9-10 potentials to do the job better than those we currently have. Yeah certainly not to compete i agree, those four players will be starters on the basis that they are a substantial upgrade on who we are replacing, the four below to be replaced. Konsa is still an uncertainty but ill take the risk with a starting but with a new quality CB challenging his position ( more to stop some of you guys attacking me for too much signings) but i agree no more than 4 to be replaced and 6 signings overall with a CB challenging and a winger also challenging Wesley Targett Trezeguet El Ghazi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not spectacular, but decent. A think a central midfielder would be more of a priority, to play alongside Luiz and Mcginn, with Conor and nakamba as attacking and defensive MF alternatives. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I have seen is that the UEFA rules have been relaxed (only clubs in Europa and Champs League affected) and even then, clubs have to prove the losses are directly incurred due to COVID. It's not licence to overspend. Uefa sources confirmed that clubs would be allowed losses in excess of €30m as long as they show this was caused by falls in revenues because of the shutdown. Clubs will be able to cope with their own increased losses however they responsibly can, including by owners putting money in, either in loans or shares. Uefa said these emergency measures were intended to “give clubs more time to quantify and account for unanticipated loss of revenues”. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2020/jun/18/uefa-agree-to-suspend-financial-fair-play-rules-due-to-pandemic I hear Purslow has sent evidence of the lost revenue from the non sale of 300m Villa Dogs during lockdown. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedClaretAndBlue Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 I know we’ve been linked before. Talk of BvB wanting him also if Sancho leaves. If true we need to make our moves early which im sure we are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the Benrahma price, we all no that any prices quoted are generated and fueled by the press, I'm sure Brentford will settle for what price they put on his head, with perhaps a little wiggle room, the price paid will only truly be found when next seasons accounts are published, prices you see quoted must be taken with a pinch of salt, and would only give a rough guide, if he goes anywhere, my wife being a long term Villa supporter of 60 years, hopes he comes to you. I think Brentford will win tonight. Last game at Griffin Park will give them extra incentive and are the better team anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a Red Bull related subject I'd be delighted if we managed to get an offer in for Salzburg midfield prospect Dominik Szoboszlai before he moves to Milan or whatever. Only 19 but he looks a real player from (the little) I've seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Your Round Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 I've never seen Rashica play and I don't know much about him beyond what's in this thread. But in the time honoured tradition of VillaTalk... He's just what we need, SIGN HIM UP NOW!!!!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Can we stop suggesting the better players of teams who are better than us? Why in God's name would Zaha or Digne come to Villa? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might sound tad unrealistic but barce want rid. No harm in trying. Also got wes and luiz here may as well try and sign messi got as much chance as signing coutinho!

sharkyvilla Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 What actually happened to Coutinho? I'd have thought he would be perfect for Barca, I can understand Griezmann not fitting that well in the side as he is the kind of player you want if you don't already have Messi but Coutinho is decent enough to help plug the hole Iniesta left.

Yeah, id say his 122 appearances over 4 seasons, his 45 international caps playing for a team who have been better than Villa the last few years make him a better bet than Lansbury who couldnt get a kick in the championship and then neither in prem either ! If you think Hendrick wouldnt be as valuable to us as Lansbury then I cant really help you mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
