Maybe there is a release clause? I watched him number of times last season and he always impressed me. Got very good potential, good attitude and he can only keep improving. I was thinking that mate, Southampton i don't believe would sell him and would want more than £10mil.

I don’t think I’ve seen much of him, if you say so though dude I trust your judgement! Sounds like £10m would be a good price then... if it’s not just paper talk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But also we can look to make the same sort of signings RBL do. I have no idea who that Admira Wacker is but he’s very unlikely to come to Villa and play in our U23s for two years over playing maybe first team for RB Leipzig. Roll two years on just think how much money we could save if we them wanted to buy Wacker but RBL wanted £15m for him. The other alternative is to buy them and loan them out but then you are relying on that other club to develop the player for you with their own coaching staff. It may work for our academy/U23s players But I’m not sure it would work that well for overseas talent being brought in......unless we just loaned them back to the club we had bought them from. Admira Wacker is a club 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think just paper talk i feel as Southampton would want more than that! he's one of their best prospects. Love his goal vs Man Utd in last min!

TheMelvillan Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Next week will see the start of the transfer merry go round I reckon. I reckon there's been something of a transfer amnesty up til now to let players agents and club officials the chance to get catch their breath after a weird and confusing season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super-sub to start i'd say. He's a much better player than Keinan in my opinion. 2 years younger as well! Obafemi is already a full Irish International. He was born in Dublin.

FC Admira Wacker Mödling, are an Austrian Team not a player FYI ... This kid could be the next Upamecano or Okore who knows but this is the sort of target I see us moving towards. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The building of the recruitment team and other welcome additions to the coaching staff at various levels would suggest we’re looking to become one of those clubs we all admire. It also appears that NSWE are interested in buying a smaller club that could be useful to us in the future. I don’t think I’ve ever been more optimistic about our future, either short or long term. The other alternative that I forgot to mention - which I’ve heard rumours about - is that we ditch the U23s and create a B team, like Brentford have done, which enables them to basically play their reserve team (which includes the players they are hoping to integrate into the first team). Personally, I don’t think that’d work for us so yes, I hope Sawiris rumoured interest in Vitoria Guimares is more than just a rumour. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure it’s been mentioned here before. Personally I’d say that’s very unlikely. The board have been clear from day one over the importance of the academy and have spent a lot improving things that side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was when DS came in and the moneyball transfer tactics AND the fact that the U23 football wasn’t seen as competitive enough / bring into players through to the first team. I wasn’t a fan of the idea and the way things have gone since the U23s is really for the U18s and any U23s Too good for that league get loaned out unless they are in first team contention.

Rob182 Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 3 hours ago, Dave-R said: That's not true now is it, do you truly believe the media have gone right to people in our club or our Owners and got how much we have to spend, or even better our Owners have released how much. The media in England isnt what it was and clubs keep things far more secret than what they used to. Until the Owners or someone at the club state it we can only speculate what's available to spend same as all these links in the media. So what? Shall we speculate that we might be able to tempt Messi for a last payday? There’s obviously a line of what is realistic, and that’s based on something. Purslow was quoted last year saying how newly promoted teams should all be able to invest the full TV & Prem money on new players, or words to that effect. What clubs are given is pretty widely known and reported to be £100m-130m depending on League placing. Hence most people expecting that level of spending.
