PussEKatt Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 10 minutes ago, The_Steve said: We can afford Premier League wages, just not the inflated, unsustainable wages the likes of Everton and established teams throw at players so readily. It will get easier to offer more competitive wages with continued league status. The point is that the club will not throw money at short term solutions like before. The crumbs the press feed on in terms of speculation aren’t coming from the club, likely Bournemouth and others. They don’t know our transfer plans and are speculating for clicks. Nothing more. What are our transfer plans ? Its got me baffeled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wont even bother telling you the fee because you already know it. He's exactly what we don't need IMO. I'm not surprised. He did play for Bournemouth last season after all. Maybe we can get Phillip Billing as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 We aren’t in for Wilson, it’s a recycled link. Move along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrSmirch Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Maybe they’re letting the targets get fit at other clubs rather than wasting a week or more transitioning to a new part of the world. Gearing up for an ABSOLUTELY MEGA final few days pre window slamming shut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm very much in favour of the Lange/Southampton transfer style of using stats to buy undervalued players across Europe, but I'd actually take Troy Deeney for £1-2mill. Can't fault his attitude, and if he pretended he was playing Villa every week instead of for Villa every week, he'd win golden boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This window should have been so easy there was loads of early 20’s high quality relegated players and players in the championship (Eze, Benrahma, Henry, Buendia, Aarons, Sarr) and they are trying to sign people like King, Wilson and Martinez FML 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understood that as we spent so much in the summer when we needed all those players and spent the budget. This is a whole different level Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, easy. You take your budget and you use it on those players that are in inferior leagues who are happy with the wages you can pay. It doesn’t get easier 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacketspuds Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 I wonder if Smith will be made to cart out the below statement should our transfer window end in disappointment...
