Errr we were starting with a bid of 30m but all I saw was that Celtics fee was always 40m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping we can manage to sign both rather than one or the other. Watkins gives us versatility with his ability to play on the wing. If it's a choice of one or the other i'd definitely prefer Edouard. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hippo Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 1 hour ago, DCJonah said: The agent added: “I heard of the interest from Aston Villa, I read it in the newspaper, and I think it’s true. But we have not had any contact with Aston Villa right now.” Is this something to worry about or are we doing things by the book and not speaking to the player till Celtic give us permission? I would have thought the agent would be the first port of call - is the player open to a move to Aston Villa ? I don't think we are in for him. I don't think we have as much cash as people think.

omariqy Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 A half competent agent will not be blabbing to the media that a club is in contact for their player. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tez500 Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 I'm going to be overly optimistic and read that as his agent suggesting he would be open to a move to us! Translation: "AVFC now is the time to put in a bid!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both would be incredible, but if it’s just one Edouard is the real deal. I genuinely think, having seen him a only few times live I admit, he is an amazing talent and will play at the top of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Not enough pace plus I wouldn't want benrahma think he costs too much for what he would offer us. We desperately need pace in our team. I wonder how much ASM would cost alternatively moussa diaby would also be a very good buy in my opinion. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've covered 15 teams on their podcast, not including Newcastle, but they did do a "What's going on at Aston Villa?" a couple of weeks back so maybe they don't intend to do a sensible transfers, but they're always interesting so hopefully they do one soon.

villa4europe Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Unfortunately Joelinton and Haller are £40m players He's comfortably better than both, not surprised if that's the asking fee or at least the benchmark they're using Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
