AVTuco Posted April 5, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted April 5, 2021 4 hours ago, Vive_La_Villa said: If we mainly sign quality from now on, I reckon you’re looking at another 3 summer transfer windows at the very least for all that to happen. Back ups don't need to be quality, as long as they're better than Taylor. Midfield is the main problem, Ideally I'd switch them all but maybe McGinn can keep his place for another year. Luiz and whoever the third midfielder is should be replaced at minimum. Sanson, Nakamba, Ramsey as back ups. And a quality RW is a must. So, two quality midfielders and a quality RW. And then some benchwarmers. Should be doable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that they were cheap by any standards. We have our fair share of disaster buys from the Championship before these guys thou. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 All our best players had played most of their football in the championship before impressing with us in the premier league, Konsa, Cash, Watkins, McGInn, Grealish, Mings, I think even Martinez had played more games in the championship than in the premier league as well. We won't just sign players from that division, but if we buy wisely players from the championship can improve us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciggiesnbeer Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 I am really excited to see what we do in the summer. Nice to be building on a success for a change. Like talent recruiting in all businesses I know, success makes everything easier, failure makes everything harder. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villaphil Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 A front 4 of Ollie up front with Zaha, Grealish and Traore supporting behind, would do for me next season. He’ll have 2 years left on his contract in the summer and I think Palace will let him leave. Not convinced there would be too much interest given Covid. £65m plus c. £160k a week ????

So we pay him a third more than Jack and spend 65m on a 28 year old? No. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would certainly want a better move but after this season and with continued spending I can’t see the players of bottom half teams thinking it’s a sideways move to be fair. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’d want Arsenal, but would they pay up the £65m ??? I don’t think they would, he needs to kick on again in performance, if he wants to go to a ‘big’ club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 7 hours ago, AVTuco said: We need: 1: a new midfield three 2: two new wingers to replace Traore and AEG. Trez can stay as squad player. 3: back-up LB and CB and GK if Heaton retires 4: back up striker So, that's 9 new players, one less than I thought. Happy days. Where would you expect to finish next season out of interest if say a couple of those signings were really really good? I mean we don't need 9 new signings just to stand still in the league surely? Would still focus more on 2-3 really good ones and then get in a CB who can play full back competently and another FB so think that's the way to do it rather than just get more countless squad fillers in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Persuading him to come is another matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketspuds Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 If Watford don't come up we should move for Sarr. Bring him and Olise in, plus Edouard or Abraham, and all of a sudden we have top 6 attacking options at least, if Grealish stays as well. We need a pacy attacking LB to come in, as well as a big DM. The good thing is that I think our owners know that we need to spend big to convince Grealish that he is best off staying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No chance IMO And if you went shopping at Palace it wouldn't be Zaha that I'd want, Eze is a star in making, not that I think they'd sell him or he'd move either Edited April 5, 2021 by villa4europe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seen them a few times and I just don’t get the hype. Good, tidy player yes. Star in the making? No chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
