villanmac Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Messi is an adidas athlete. With Sawiris being a major shareholder in adidas i'd expect us to be all over him. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The little I have seen of him he didn't look pacy at all. So don't think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Pace is one of the main things that Edouard is known for. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not “Pacy at all” Is like Wes... Edouard is fast mate......certainly for the SPL and probably the Prem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And hey the rule should be clear, any CURRENT Prem club who wants to buy a feeder club can never be relegated to League 1 and their feeder club can never be promoted to the Championship. Simples. I'm amazed you think you've used logic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides unless Ramsdale was p*ssed off at getting sold by Sheff Utd 2 years back, they’ll be favourites to sign him. Either way, ST link and GK link means things heating up now managers and players are back from their hols. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villan-scott Posted August 16, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted August 16, 2020 Anyone get the feeling this week things are going to hot up?! 2 links tonight, Edouard and Ramsdale. I’d be happy with Edouard. Not sure on spending big on a keeper this summer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're getting wayyyy off topic so I wont go back and forth any more, but to answer your question I don't think it would work at all. I've already mentioned the depth of professional football in this country. Do the 20 teams that happen to be top flight in one season get a chance to buy another club in league 1 or 2? What if only 2 owners are willing to sell their clubs that year - would that mean the 2 clubs that spend the most get the shot and everyone else can f off? Otherwise, would you suggest the EFL force member clubs to be sold to PL teams and how is a price set? What are the odds of the vote going through when league 1 and 2 make up more than 2/3 of members? Does any team newly promoted to the top flight get to do this in future seasons or is it a 1 time deal? If each newly promoted team is allowed to get involved, how many lower league teams need to be bought before it's stopped? Do you think fans of a club would keep going to games if they're never allowed to be promoted from league 1? Does it seem right that there would be an auction for the highest bidder to give themselves a safety net? Etc.

I meant current at the time they bought the feeder club. Ie any club who buys a feeder club needs to be in the Prem at that point. Maybe I could have clarified but most posts here on here are a little ambiguous. And no, no forced sales....all market forces. I don’t care what the other fans think once they become a feeder club. How would the fans of Vitoria S.C. feel if Sawiris bought them as a feeder club? Would you have a different opinion then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommo_b Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 How do you convince 4/5 top players to sign for Aston Villa, is it a domino effect, once one signs more will follow? How do you convince these players to turn down clubs that have finished higher up? Sign a mercenary type whose motivation is money? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
