RichiBoi11 Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 (edited) I'm not saying we are in for him or anything but I've just seen Southampton are playing tonight, and Ward Prowse travelled with the squad but isn't playing or on the bench. That's a strange one. Edit - nevermind he's just been confirmed as having a knock Edited July 27, 2021 by RichiBoi11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
claretman Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 (edited) My mate at work today (also a Villa fan) told me that we had been linked with a move for Anthony Martial from Utd this morning. I have to say I haven't seen a single thing connecting him since I returned home-I expected to find this thread buzzing with gossip. Did I miss something or is it pure nonsense based only on the fact that they have signed Sancho? Edited July 27, 2021 by claretman I've found the link-looks like rubbish as expected.

Twitter is an absolute cesspool these days - the so called fans piling in/begging/bad mouthing other fans bases around transfers and some of the braini-dead arguments is embarrasing and Villa fans are amongst the worst as as bad as any I can see these days. I think I am just going to keep away until after the window shuts. Hate to break it to you but as far as Twitter goes it's a regular month.

The state Newcastle are in, I’m sure they’d be tempted if a sizeable offer was made. Pedro Neto would have been a good option also but believe he’s still recovering from his terrible knee cap injury and not training yet. We already have traore, having 2 50/50 players is not going to move us forwards. 50% Ronaldinho 50% ronald Mcdonald both of them. Would be a disaster. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, us amongst several other PL team s are “linked”, Ivread that this morning too but think that means very little in this day and age, I certainly haven’t seen it elsewhere since. Quality player, but not sure he is any better off here than there really? watched the Villa TV training clips and Ollie is banging them in left right and centre, think he’s up for a big season this time.

I don't see who he'd gets in ahead of if Jack, Buendia and Ollie are fit, particularly if Bailey comes in. I think he's decent but his body language indicated he was disinterested last season. It does show how far we've come in the last couple of years though to even be linked with the likes of Martial and Bailey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skarroki Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Just looking through players still without a club this window and wondering what people think about David Luiz? He could play the DM / back-up CB role quite well if he's settled in England and knows he's not coming in with a guarantee to start. I know I'm opening myself up to GIFs of Sideshow Bob and lots of different ways of saying it's an awful idea but I'm curious nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same David Luiz who mysteriously got several contracts at top four clubs as a ball playing centre back, that frequently proved he was better at giving the ball away than passing it to a team mate?
