If we were in for Benrahma you’d think Percy and Law would know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should be going after proven Premier League players! VILLA LINKED TO PREMIER LEAGUE PLAYER: Not him! He's shite! We should sign the Championship player with potential! Wash, rinse, repeat. Guessing you would be delighted if we signed Drinkwater and Lingard with their 6 figure/week wages? They've both won the league doncha know. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomaszk Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Can't find the post now but Milik was mentioned as Napoli have said he's available. Should be #1 priority ahead of Wilson and Watkins. Will cost less than Watkins and have lower salary than Wilson. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming we have X amount of money to spend the value for money bit is rather important. We really really need a better scouting network. I think the higher ups saw how we struggled last season with a lot of European imports and are trying a mixed approach this time. I'm curious to see who we buy for the wings, as that's where I think we'll make our marquee signing. When it comes to strengthening the squad, I'm all for buying players familiar with English football. Like Cash for example. Yeah we could probably try to scout another Guilbert, but why not buy the best RB in the Championship to be his competition? Last season we were playing Konsa there at one point. I'd rather the gambles be our more expensive/ambitious signings (like Rashica for example, not saying he's coming here). There is a massive upside to them succeeding as opposed to random 10m fullback from France for example. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevinRichardsonsMoustache Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 19 minutes ago, Jas10 said: Makes sense, we have pissed so much money up the wall over the years with no return e.g. Richards, McCormack, Nzogbia, Hogan, Lansbury & many many more (too many to list!!!). We’ve actually been doing it for decades! Remember the likes of Sasa Curcic? Habib Beye? Only it’s cost us a hell of a lot more recently... Just imagine where we’d be if we’d have used those funds more wisely... I found this list. Quote Aston Villa - RECORD ARRIVALS https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/aston-villa/transferrekorde/verein/405 I know it’s relative (prices going up etc), but it makes me realise: a. How even fairly average PL players now cost masses of money (Targett is our fifth biggest signing!) b. There are some real stinkers: Ross, Hogan, NZog in particular who, even after all these years and price inflation, are still in the list c. Stan Collymore is still in the top twenty!
