Hope to be proved wrong, but just can't see it, especially with no one to sell. No, it will be north of that. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Emi Emi, oh with your eyes so blue"... "Emi Emi, he's saved a goal or two"... I need a lie down... I like it but his eyes aren’t blue… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say that this will probably be the last window we spend big - three or four first team players of top quality and we are set for the forseeable.

His stats were a bit meh last time he was in the prem. Chances created were high, actual goals and assists were a bit disappointing. Granted he was playing in a shit team and it was a while ago. Happy if we go for him for a reasonable price. De Arrascaeta, Grealish, Watkins and Buendia up front could be tons of fun. With Chuk coming on for Cameos. Yeah, you need to consider that he’s been playing with low quality teammates.. Young and improving… he is a potential star. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see that, spend big now and make ourselves formidable. Then maybe just add 1 or up to 2 each year/season… will depend… It is important to keep the squad fresh and upgrade each season… not get complacent or anything… We mustn’t overrate or rely too heavily on the kids either, they need time and development.

wilko154 Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 Bissouma and Zaha for me. Two players with Premier League experience who generally perform at the highest standard week in week out. Bringing in quality like that then allows you to take gambles on lesser known players in other positions if required, players who's value will increase.

Another season of growth and we will be firmly at the top table and in the race for the best players, especially with our owners and Wes's record on wages in the NBA. Such good times ahead.

Jas10 Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 Ollie and Buendia (McGinn also) will be a nightmare for opposition defenders, they won’t get a minutes rest We will be closing down and harassing them relentlessly Midfield needs addressing though, so we can retain the ball better… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post M_Afro Posted May 21, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 21, 2021 I have just had a quick look on the Norwich fans site. They seem to think that Buendia is their greatest ever player. They also think he is way too good for us and we have got no chance of signing him. For those two reasons I am in. Make it happen Villa. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should be nervous - the player has no allegiance to Norwich, and will take a much higher wage elsewhere - Norwich also I think will not turn down big money.

Rich192 Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 The only downside to Buendia is that he’s aggy as ****. 4 red cards in his last 3 league seasons for Norwich. He is top class though. He’d take us to the next level. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mazrim Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 Norwich need to remember that they're a little shithouse club and we could buy and sell them 100 times over. Their "best player" is not much of a claim. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
