If it's as a winger, I'll pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KenjiOgiwara Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Hope we will see some signings this week. 3 weeks until we kick off the season I think. That's a signing every 4 days or so to cover what's absolutely needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 I would be more worried if every one else was signings players and we were not. It's a lull period with players on their holibobs. It will warm up later in the month. And when we do sign players I bet they will be completely different to those who we have talked about like what happens every year. Modern day journalists are as far away from the football club operations as us the plebs who pay to turn up and watch it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, oh well, that’s no amount of money in modern football. If yes, could be a bargain once Heaton retires. He was worth 8m when we were chasing him, wouldn't pay that now, prob a token 2m and they could do with him off the wage bill, but all this only if cutler can see something he can work with. Just my 2 cents buddy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rayk Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 I know we don’t need a keepe4 and I’d be quite happy if Reina returned BUT if we could shift Nyland and Kalinic AND we knew the backstory as to why his form has dipped sooo dramatically I’d take a punt on Butland ay say £5m-£6m. i think he’s just had a major strop about not being sold to us last season, I don’t think it’s anything more worrying than that. Perfect age as a replacement one day for Heaton. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoarding young players. Fifa or eufa or the Premier league put a stop to it. 1 hour ago, Sam-AVFC said: The rules have changed to limit the amount of players a club can have out on loan because of what Chelsea etc were doing. Can't remember what the limit is though. They may have reigned it in but they do still seem too have plenty out on loan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted August 16, 2020 Author Share Posted August 16, 2020 Butland is supposedly on £35k a week at Stoke, doubt he is willing to drop lower than that if he gets a move to a PL club. Considering the level he's performed at he is not worth anything close to the £8m fee or that salary. He's been dreadful by all accounts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 If he has confidence problems I'm sure being a Villa player will help with that... Let alone dropping down to a reserve player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just my 2 cents buddy. I think we are getting close to the point that £8m is a token amount. That’s an exaggeration maybe but not far off. He was going to be what, £25m last summer? Think we are saying broadly the same thing though which is worth a punt on the cheap if we think there is potential there and he’s not first choice.

rayk Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 My worry about buying players from the Primiera Ligue Is that we’d be getting the cast offs. I just don’t think we could compete either with the Champions League clubs or the Mendes/Wolves hoovering up of Portugese. Besides I think yo7 can find better value in other leagues.

Clubs face loan restrictions after Fifa announces new regulations Quote Fifa has proposed new regulations that would mean clubs could only have eight loan deals per season, both in and out of the club. That would then be reduced to six from 2022-23. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well obviously this is true last season but it would be taking a punt that he could recover the form that made him England’s youngest ever goalkeeper, has seen him spend multiple seasons as a number one, etc. I honestly haven’t seen him at all over the last year or so so I can’t comment on that but it’s just whether the club think there is something to recover there or if he’s done.

VillaChris Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 6 hours ago, Villan4Life said: 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. Who know's about Release clause He does pick up a few injuries and they've got Ings, Long and Che Adams finally started scoring end of the season so guess he wants to play more and he probably won't get the opportunity. I think he's decent aswell, would be a good striker for us in away games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly and truly I don’t give a monkeys about Walsall’s history if they became our B team. Loan our best U23s out there and I’m sure they’d ultimately see a better class of footie than they normally have. i have no problem if B/feeder teams exist in League 1/2....more apprehensive about the Championship.

thabucks Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Forgetting last summer and his poor form this year I think we would do worse than get Butland for say £3-4million plus. We could also throw in unwanted players perhaps (Jota, Bree, Lansbury, Taylor) I can see Cutler working on his confidence and Competing with Heaton would be good for Him/us ... Anything above £6mill though I’d walk away .... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
