I think he had a clause. There's no way he was worth only £18m in January. Edited September 2, 2020 by Okonokos 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jas10 Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 (edited) Would love it if we raided Valencia (could we get Maxi Gomez this time? How’s he performed?) and any other decent teams needing funds (Marseille?). We have to take advantage of situations like this and be willing to spend big for the right quality. With the slight relaxation on FFP too, it’s a great opportunity to substantially improve the team... Edited September 2, 2020 by Jas10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet again not the first position most of us were looking to strengthen, but a senior partner for Mings to take some pressure off Konsa would be a good addition.

I don’t watch enough football these days to form much of an opinion tbh. Villa is my sole/primary focus nowadays. Sorry but where are the valuations from? Is it a deep statistical analysis and review of current spending levels in football? Or is it some lazy journos who have taken 5 minutes out of their busy day looking at Twitter to stick a finger in the air and make a random guess? Total drivel.

Yeah was thinking the same, someone with a bit of physicality and leadership would help. Konsa has looked promising and hopefully still gets decent game time. Hause is poor, a disaster with the ball at his feet. Good in the air but not much else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only recent link I’ve seen is the guy at Sampadoria who went on Hajj to Mecca with Samatta. Omar (something). No idea if he’s any good though. Edit: Colley. From Gambia. The article I saw said they wanted £18M. Edited September 2, 2020 by Awol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But obviously I would like us to score more as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That account posted that the day of the Luiz going back to City rumours, it was piggybacking off of speculation. It's not the original guy at all, it's a fake. Check the Summer 2019 thread when he was posting when the Maupay to us rumours were strong, nothing happened. The original guy got it 100% right from the medicals. This account is fake.

paul514 Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 1 hour ago, Spray said: Villa fans crack me up. It's "We improved dramatically as a team after the restart" and "I'm confident at what I saw in the last four games to know we'll be fine next season," but the second anyone mentions any potential quality additions that we may or may not acquire, it's "We finished outside of the relegation zone by the skin of our teeth. get real" I have no problem with a player deciding not to come to us. My issue is that we most likely wouldn't even submit a bid. You don’t need to submit a bid you call the management company and ask them, and they let you know. To suggest a player is going to come to us on the cheap instead of to the top ten in the world clubs which are apparently after him is laughable.

Konsa may be good enough but to be sure we need to blood him with a properly competent centre back. Some people have mentioned Duffy from Brighton as an easy pick up I would like John Stones if they are getting rid of him Edited September 3, 2020 by paul514 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
