Popular Post OutByEaster? Posted September 7, 2020 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted September 7, 2020 We could wait another five and a half weeks and he'd only miss one league game. Yes it would be nice to have him in and training with the rest of the squad, but I think we can afford to be patient. *Sorry - three games not one* 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s get our first choices over the line, and not have to make do with alternatives. Regardless of the costs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without knowing the reasons, I don’t think fans are best placed to advise on the next move. You’d hope that Purslow, Smith and Lange are acting in Villa’s best interests and will do what needs to be done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is once the main TW shuts - but the championship windows is still open - you could see a scenario where a biggish PL club (Everton\wolves for example ) gets a few poor results - and goes to Brentford and meets the asking price - or outbid us. I think this gets done before our first game - or he will go elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they wouldn’t be able to sign them until January as the window for premier league teams is shut, regardless of which league your buying from Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Championship clubs would be able to sign players from the premier league, but not vice versa, thats the way it used to be anyway never seen any player signed from a championship or another league that has a shorter or longer transfer window to the premier league, when the window closes in your league you can’t sign players except for out of contract players, unless something Has changed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
