I preferred it when there was no window....but hey ho. Edited August 22, 2020 by TRO 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally, in a sane world they'd be less games, the season would start in a normal year start of sept and the window could be from june 1st till halfway through august. Then the worst that could happen is you had two weeks at the end of pre-season to work with a settled group. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 We're biding our time and will leave it right until the end of the window if we have to, at the moment clubs will try their luck and ask for ridiculous fees, but a lot of clubs need money at the moment so as it gets closer to the window closing players will be gettable at a cheaper price, this window will probably be more like the January window when most of the deals get done in the last few days.

That is an interesting call Grujic.....probably wouldn't be that extortionate either. would give us variation in our game....and cover some of the weaknesses.

Yeah a move for Grujic has been speculated for a couple of days. Fee ranges from £10m to £20m. He’s certainly better than Hourihane or Lansbury....Nakamba probably too but he falls down an awful lot looking for free kicks an awful not. Billing edges it for me more and more and that’s without how howitzer throw in. McKennie #1 choice though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Farlz Posted August 22, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 22, 2020 Quote ASTON VILLA are to test Celtic with a £30million bid for French goal machine Odsonne Edouard. Villa plan to spend big and have several targets but the forward, 22, is their priority. Boss Dean Smith is also keen on Ollie Watkins and Said Benrahma from his old club Brentford. But he first wants to find out if Edouard can be snatched from the Scottish champions after bagging 28 goals last season. Arsenal may drop out of the race to leave the door open for the Midlanders. Crystal Palace and Leicester are also in the hunt. Edouard has not shown any sign of being interested in a move to a ‘lesser’ English club but Villa have cash to tempt him with a major contract. Their financial power is also giving them a chance in the Watkins and Benrahma races. https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/12473663/aston-villa-plot-30m-bid-celtic-odsonne-edouard/ From Alan Nixon so thought it was worth a post 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
