Plus another £80m for Kia Havertz.... And they want a new keeper but will obviously sell Arrizibalaga.....but may still have to cough up a few extra ££££.

Absolutely.....but they are buying before selling so the bidding for those saleable assets will start lower. And I genuinely don’t think Tammy is on that list......unless we go in with a £50m offer.

I think Trez is absolute shit, but Harry Wilson is a lot younger, is much better with the ball at his feet, and has a fantastic free kick on him. That said, I wouldn't pay more than 15 million for Wilson. He's still too much of a gamble at this level to go any higher than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but theyve been under a transfer ban for a while, FFP is calculated over 3 years so they can spend a lot more than most other clubs due to this 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave-R Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Wonder if theres any truth to us and other clubs being offered Juventus players, would be lovely to have a pick or two from there wouldnt it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have already been stung by FFP, having been banned from making signings during last summer's window. I can't see them falling foul of FFP again, after Manchester City's legal team, walked all over their CL FFP suspension recently. I'm sure Chelsea will now have accountants in place, that will be able to balance their books for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Ghazi is much better, Wikson stats are padded by setpieces and Bournemouth fans hated him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could quite easily end up there again next season. We only stayed up by one point last season, we are extremely fortunate to be playing in the Premier League and shouldn’t take it for granted. Smith has done well since he has come in for me and has earned a fair crack. The Premier League is widely acknowledged to be the best league in the world and rightly so for me. I think we have overpaid in the past for the likes of Kodjia, Hogan and McCormack to name but a few and I hope we don’t make the same mistakes again. We seem to have a plan in place and the people at the top say the right things to the press but whether they actually carry these things out is another matter altogether. We can sign players from non-league if they are good enough Ok, maybe a small few are not necessarily below our station, but definitely none of them are above it. Agree with your last statement too. Maybe I'm missing your point, but I don't think anyone in the championship would refuse to come to us. If there are better offers on the table for them I don't expect them to ignore them, but I'm not sure there are any players in that league that will attract attention from the top teams with European football, which puts us on a pretty much level playing field with anyone we're likely to compete with. We'll see i guess! Edited August 21, 2020 by MrBlack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaHatesMe Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Possible alternative for Ollie Watkins. Nicolas Gonzalez is apparently available for around £20 million. Like Watkins, has played on the wings and in the center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He got 8 in his last 10 games, remove this mini streak and his record is really poor for a forward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
