He is only just 26, has plenty of experience and would be under far less pressure at Villa. He can't defend. He'd also demand huge wages. There's much, much better value out there.

If we go into next season with our 4 current centre half’s then that is fine. We need to improve what is in front of them. That will make their jobs much easier. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Linked with a move for John Swift from Reading, who apparently want £6m for him. Sheffield United and Leeds also said to be interested, but it's from Birmingham Live (link below). For that money, I would say get it done sharpish! https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/aston-villa-transfer-news-reading-18694405 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thunderball Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 59 minutes ago, paul514 said: No way will the tv rights money go down. i saw a video on what the money to the teams could be worth if the premier league set up their own world wide tv service and it was insane amounts way higher than it is today. The ‘Price of Football’ podcast did suggest that TV revenues will drop this year as the FA need to rebate BT & Sky for the COVID problems. They suggested that relegated teams will suffer most as their parachute payments will also be reduced. A figure of -10% was mentioned. I think new pricing models and distribution is being discussed, as well as some ‘Free-to-Air’ games for BBC/ITV as their audience is about 4-5x that of Sky/BT and they suggested that teams could sell their pitch side advertising at a higher rate to compensate (exceed) for these matches.

Popular Post Keyblade Posted July 31, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 31, 2020 I just want to see a separate player speculation thread, is that too much to ask Villa? The anticipation is killing me. I want to wake up one morning and see a Milot Rashica thread with 20 pages and a @thetrees plane sighting saga. 8 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genuine question just not heard that, heard rumours he may want to leave to ensure he's a starter. I'm fairly certain he'll be there next season. It's Chelsea and they're spending like crazy again. Werner is there now - I'd think nailed on starting striker but maybe Lampard will play him out wide and Abraham up top. Giroud is probably off however he had something of a renaissance towards the end of the season so maybe Lampard will keep him over Tammy. They've still got Batshuayi although they'll be looking to move him on I'd imagine. As I said it's all just speculation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramshackler Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 7 hours ago, omariqy said: He scored 5 in 7 games for us in the winning streak and I think only one of those was a pen. He didn’t play the last 3 games. 5 in 9 , correct one pen. (Missed one as well) only missed the game against Millwall (win number 10). As said, that little run came after a baron two months, and I distinctly recall him being pretty ineffective in that winning streak missing multiple chances but also not being involved in build ups as he had been earlier in season, the less frequently he scored the harder he tried and it showed as he started making wrong decisions and being a bit too greedy. As I say I wouldn't say no to having him back, but he would cost ridiculous money and all the factors I've alluded to make me think there will be problems if he was to make the step up in a side that isn't full of Chelsea's quality. I said before the season he wouldn't cut the mustard at Chelsea, fair play to him he had a great first half to the season, but overall his performance dropped massively. He is a big confidence and numbers player 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
