nepal_villan Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 I'd go for someone experienced who is willing to be a squad player. Deeney? He seems to have a lot of positive things to say about Villa and Dean Smith these days. Then loan out Davis and Wes so they get matches. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really hope there is nothing in those rumors unless it's a season long loan. I’m not going to pretend to add anything new to this conversation but if Josh King is the height of our ambitions then O’Neil and McLeish have secretly entered VP/BMH intent only on destroying all the good work that’s been done over the past couple of years.

He’s gonna cost at least £50m and at least £100k a week (or whatever Jack is on) imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can’t have it both ways re valuations. I mean Emi must be worth £40m+ now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect Barkley to cost around £30m. Good but replaceable players. Jack is in a different universe compared to these two. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can’t have it both ways re valuations. I mean Emi must be worth £40m+ now. It’s a strange situation with Barkley, if he continues to do well with us you could say we will be held to ransom by Chelsea but it really depends on the player himself. Chelsea can only bluff with us so much as clearly they don’t want him and will be willing to sell. It remains to be seen what other options Barkley would have but realistically is he going to have many better than us? If Barkley decides he wants to come to us and/or there aren’t better options for the player then that levels rout the negotiations somewhat. It could well end up being a protracted negotiation in the summer as it was for Mings, we shall see. I don’t though think Chelsea hold all the cards. I’m also still hopeful there is a clause for an agreed fee as I was originally told, I’m yet to see anything definitive that there isn’t. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoelVilla Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 I think we will sign someone from the French League. Probably many other clubs looking to take advantage of their financial troubles but I think we will do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, so that means you’d be willing to sell SJM for around £30m then? *Edit* The valuation of anything depends how what a buyer/buyers are willing to pay. At £30m Barkley or SJM would be a steal for any club in the top half of the Prem. Edited December 22, 2020 by rayk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But given he’ll have two years left on his contract after this season Chelsea hold the upper hand in negotiations as there will be plenty of other clubs interested.....not just us. The fact that Barkley wants to come to us means nothing unless we put up the cash. Surely as fans we’ve realised that with both Maupay and Benrahma going elsewhere.
