I remember reading the article over and over and got so excited that we had signed some superstar foreign exotic enigma player!, i miss those days lol! I remember reading one night on Ceefax in 1989 that we had signed a certain Paul McGrath for a couple of hundred grand, telling my Dad excitedly who replied no good would come of signing Man U crocked cast offs 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvfcRigo82 Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 I remember meeting Savo back in around 96/97* time when I was living in Northants. He was the 'celebrity' who was doing a grand opening of a used car garage (Also owned by Serbians) one Sunday morning. I remember meeting him and him looking like he was about 7ft, he was very tall. I got him to sign my Villa sky blue away shirt. I remember the season or so after when he spat at the crowd and I got the shirt and binned it, (unknown to me at the time my father took it out the trash and put it in a box in the attic). However, I would go on to sell the shirt on Ebay many years later when I found it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 So I guess there is a severe lack of transfer rumors since we are talking about Paul McGrath and 25 y.o jerseys 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It certainly was great stupid fun for a few weeks, too bad a few were outraged at the few who signed up for the mayhem and had it banished asap Was it @CarryOnVilla this guy who found some incredible pics/gift, such fun.

I was new to the forum at the time And after being quadruple teamed and more on the racism thread I was on the verge of deleting my account. It was the Recica thread where I finally felt a little more at home and I decided to stay which I’m glad about now Edited April 10, 2021 by Follyfoot 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a chance we will buy 3 wingers, 1 tops, most likely a left winger if the plan is to move Jack centrally.

Doubt we will be buying players from other PL clubs that they do not want to sell. It's just too expensive. Saint-Maximin will likely be priced at £50m or more. That get's you a whole lot in other markets. And he's injured a lot as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still a quality player though, surely we won't be all about bargains again this window if we were considering the likes of Barkley why not Saint-Maximin or similar prices players?

We do have a better chance of getting him if they are relegated, otherwise like @sne mentions, they will want silly money for him if they stay in the PL.
