Wes Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 (edited) 14 minutes ago, CarryOnVilla said: I’ve been wrapped up in the Grealish crap… so who are we currently linked with? GK - Stephens (Oxford United) Def - Tuanzebe (Manchester United), Cahill (Free Agent), Small (Everton) Mid - Berge (Sheffield United), Ward Prowse (Southampton - very unlikely), Pape Matar Sarr (Metz - most likely staying another year) Winger/Attacking Mids - Alvarez (River Plate), McNeil (Burnley), Cantwell (Norwich), Damsgaard (Sampdoria) Striker - Abraham (Chelsea) Should note - all of the outfield players apart from Ward-Prowse and Cahill are aged 23 or less. That's likely to continue to be our ideal age range. The Leon Bailey link came out of nowhere though. He hadn't been linked in the media previously, although some fans had mentioned he would be an interesting signing for us. Our next purchase is more than likely not going to be from any of these - there so many prospects out there. Edited August 4, 2021 by Wes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swerbs Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Quote TUANZEBE TO BE OFFERED NEW DEAL Manchester United are close to agreeing a one-year contract extension for defender Axel Tuanzebe. Once the agreement is done, Tuanzebe is expected to finalise a season-long loan move to Aston Villa. Tuanzebe’s current deal runs until next summer, with United holding a one-year extension option. The new deal will be until 2023 with a one-year option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nnock1984 Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 (edited) For me, I’d want the following given we now look like we will have some extra money:- ST - (Abraham) Another AM of similar quality to Buendia, and Bailey (Sarr from Watford) MC - (JWP) DC - (Tuanzebe) GK - (Stephens) I’d rate us as a vastly better team, even with the loss of Grealish.

PieFacE Posted August 4, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted August 4, 2021 Why does Tuanzebe keep signing deals at Man United? At this point you'd think he would know he has no hope there. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacketspuds Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Supposedly we wanted a CM and a CAM even if Grealish was staying. We now also need a LW. We need to push on with these deals now. Can’t afford to spend weeks faffing around trying to do deals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Tuanzebe is the 4th CB then. Unless Guilbert goes (which all indications suggest he is staying), and apart from signing a youth player backup to Targett and Ashley Young at Left-Back, that's the defence settled for the first half of the season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indigo Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Let's just say for the sake of the example that the links to new players are accurate and in the - extremely unlikely - event we could pull them off, how would we be feeling relative to last season if we ended up with the below? Martinez, Steer, NEW (?) Cash, Guilbert, Konsa, Tuanzebe, Mings, Hause, Targett, Young Luiz, Nakamba, JWP, Sanson, McGinn Bailey, Buendia, Cantwell, Traore, El Ghazi Watkins, Abraham, Wes/Davis + youngsters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MachoFantastico Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Not keen on the Axel deal if that's true. Looked bang average for United when he got to play, if anything he's backup surely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 signs a 1 year extension at utd...is he **** mad or just stupid? maybe we cant get our target or even for 4th choice cant find one, or at least think bogarde is the future but he's not ready yet, other than that it seems like a pointless move, we were never buying a new first or second choice CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
