AvfcRigo82 Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 (edited) It makes you wonder if it was a bid to make Brentford hurry up over Watson as we will also look elsewhere... Edited September 6, 2020 by AvfcRigo82 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilson knows he’s probably one knee injury away from being finished so if a club can offer him a 4yr deal instead of a 2/3yr deal, he’s going to jump at the chance. He needs one more big contract and it might be that Newcastle are willing to give him it whereas we aren’t as he will he back up to Watkins or another striker. Ah Watkins yeah. We are making great speed with that one eh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome home Borja according to this translation we were using him wrong, the new Maradona or Henry https://sportsfinding.com/leganes-very-interested-in-the-incorporation-of-borja-baston/58420/ The personnel might have changed with a new DOF etc but it’s scary we signed him and Drinkwater under the new owners. Granted it was a Jan window but still a scary thought. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 Would people be willing to sacrifice a winger this window if we could get both Watkins and Édouard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that’s correct then it’d be almost any other club before Villa. That was my first thought when the story was that he preferred Newcastle, I’m not sure why you would otherwise currently. It also occurs to me that if we’re intending to play the same formation, if we signed both him and Watkins we would then have 5 players on the books to play the 1 central role and 2 to play the 2 wide roles which doesn’t really add up. If we do sign Watkins then it will look to me like the Wilson rumours could well have been bs. I think we’ll get Watkins and loan out Davies, eventually offloading either Wesley or Samatta as well. I wouldn’t have minded Wilson but not any more than Watkins and probably not as much as Origi. I could see us getting Origi in to play left with Watkins central.

Shit happens What makes you so sure we were CLEARLY in for him? Frankly, I'm quite surprised at how fans fall for all the speculation on social media. A majority of it is a combination of trolls, click bait, agents using the media and journalists desperate to put out news. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 PSG are hoping to sell Gueye before the transfer window ends. I know it’s not likely but I would 100% take him back. Sure he is 30 now but he was quality in my opinion. They are also looking to sell Draxler but can’t see that one. Gueye is 30 so can’t see too many big clubs in for him.

Clearly £25m for Watkins is an issue for us - where as last season £22m for Wesley wasn't.... I think it's about value. I think we'll pay £20m for a £20m player and we'll pay £40m for a £40m player - I think we won't pay £25m for a £20m player. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think our total spend will be much above that. We went a lot higher than the other clubs would for Matty cash - it's almost as though we are wary of anything over £20m...

Gueye is 30 so can’t see too many big clubs in for him. Yeah, he’d be a decent bet to provide competition for McGinn and Luiz in midfield but I can’t honestly see anyone from that horror show of 15-16 re signing for us!
