Popular Post RichiBoi11 Posted August 27, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 27, 2021 That Kristoff Terreur is claiming on twitter that Axel Witsel has actually been offered to us, and I'm pretty sure he was one of the guys to break the Wesley signing a couple of years back, so there might be something in it. He is however tempering it, by saying it's an agent offer rather than us approaching him, so if we aren't interested it'll be a non starter. If he really is available for 5 million euros and decent wages can be negotiated, I think we should be all over this. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure he called the Benteke deal too. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 It’s probably already been discussed on here but surprised to see Norwich might sign William Carvalho. Seems to fit the profile of the DM we crave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Every time I've seen William Carvalho play he hasn't looked that impressive to me, almost looks like a central defender playing in midfield, I think he's someone who works well for the Portugal national team as with all their attackers they can afford to have someone in midfield that's that defensive, but for most teams you'd need someone in midfield that has a little more to their game, maybe that's why he's played for the clubs he has and is now being linked to Norwich. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, plodder of a midfielder 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bannedfromHandV Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 I really don’t care if we sign any more players or not, at this stage you’d have to think any more incomings can only hinder the progress and opportunities for this fantastic group of young prospects we have coming through. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like Dean is going to plug any gaps in the squad with the u23 players. Yeah, we're done for the window. Might sign someone in Jan though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a gamble either way really. We're not going to attract in their prime, world class signings generally speaking, and so the signings may not deliver in the Premier League and will take time to settle. The youth are generally well settled and look capable of making the step up given the odd occasion we've seen them. But they need more experience and in some cases to develop physically still. I'm happy either way, but would like one more experienced, well respected head to come in. Given the injuries we've got, the international breaks we'll have throughout this season, and the fact a number of our players haven't had much of a rest, it's a case of the more the merrier for me at the moment.

Same. Also one more player isn't going to make too much of a difference for our season overall. Stabilize and solidify our position in mid table, while getting ready to attack the transfer market again next summer with the Grealish funds would be good enough for me.

The Fun Factory Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Probably because I am scarred by years of near misses and failures, but I have a nagging feeling that this could be an opportunity missed for Villa to add some extra quality to the team. We are cash rich at the moment and seemingly a lot of clubs, certainly in other leagues like Italy and France (less PSG of course), have some serious cashflow problems. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Silvers Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Ronaldo not going to shiteh after all, by all reasonable logic the only logical move now for him is to Villa, I've covered all bases, can't think of anywhere else he could go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disagree, one quality DCM could be the difference between 7th and 9th. That defence in front of the defence could really make the difference of 5 or more points over a season. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Factory Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 (edited) Given the current trends, he will end up staying at Juventus. And sign a new contract. And then get sold in January. Edited August 27, 2021 by The Fun Factory 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
