striker Posted May 7, 2021 Visiting Supporter Share Posted May 7, 2021 On Sterling get real. He’s not leaving Citeh, not for 50m lol and even if he did it wouldn’t be for any lower half side in the Premiership. Buendia however would look at Villa as a step up but I fear in today’s market it would take that 50m for Sterling to get him then wages may also be an issue as well. Pereira at West Brom might be more realistic but he may choose Leeds over Villa if both sides go in for him. If however Villa intend to spend big in the summer I’d offer Leeds 50m for Kalvin Philips who is exactly what Villa are missing in midfield. To get him Villa would need to hold onto Grealish.

useless Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 £50m for Phillips or Buendia is almost as ridiculous as suggesting we can get Sterling, no one is going to play anywhere near that much for either of those two, especially Phillips, he isn't even that much different to Luiz, it's debatable whether he's a better player.

Wainy316 Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 Missed the boat with Buendia, should've got him last year, Norwich's bargaining power has increased ten fold now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 £50m wouldn't be cheap, there are many midfielders just as good as Phillips, Leeds could replace him far easier than we could replace Grealish, Grealish is worth as much as he is because he's one of the best players in the world, not just because of how valuable he is to us. Phillips is good, but has become very overrated, I think if you asked most Leeds fans they'd be more than happy to receive £50m for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norwich would probably take 40M for Buendia (and I’d pay that) but no way we get Philips out of Leeds even if we made a daft offer. Philips and Luiz as a double pivot would be incredible, imo.

If they didn’t lose him when relegated they aren’t going to lose him now, It will take a very big offer to even begin negotiations , only viable option these days is to look abroad for players 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Sulberto21 Posted May 7, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 7, 2021 Saw Maitland Niles at the traffic lights (I live near the Tesco carrier bags training ground) and I said to him "you'd look good in a Villa shirt.

useless Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 Why are people so obssessed with Buendia, one goal and seven assists the last time he was in the premier league, and two of those assists came in the same match, also if you look at the teams that his assists came against they were, Liverpool, Chelsea, Man City (twice), Leicester, Spurs and Palace, which looks impressive at first, but then when you think that those sides would have been less defensive, it makes you wonder why he wasn't able to be more creative against teams that sit back more. He might be an okay signing but I think people are elevating him to a much higher stature than his record warrants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure there will be much better options on the continent that can and would be equally as effective and cost much less imo. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jas10 Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 I’d love for us to target the South American market, we have Emi, Wes & Doug to attract and help such players. But it’s also a risk as you never know how these players will adapt or settle. In Buendia’s case, he has adapted and settled, knows the top 2 leagues and has continued to improve. It’s less of a risk but of course he would cost a lot more (I think he would be worth it and can see him shining in a much better team). He’s proven to be effective and has high potential. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
