Question is, who's coming in next? Good question ... Messi or Neymar?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve not seen enough of him to understand the hype, in him being worth more than 3 or 4 times what we paid for Nakamba or Luiz. I think he is brilliant and would give our midfield balance. Is he worth it compared to Nakamba? Yes I think so. Very different player to Luiz but potentially yes but bit of a flawed comparison as players within the PL cost more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question is, who's coming in next? You're not wrong, thats why i can see Guilbert staying... possibly to assist Sanson in getting settled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve no doubt we are scouting it but I think that will be for the future rather than this window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villan4Life Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Hopefully go for Michael Olise (Reading) next after Buendia ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 (edited) I used to think ASM was a bit of a banter footballer, but it's clear upon watching him that his end product is improving. However the poor lad plays for Newcastle and Steve Bruce. He's a mercurial talent, but he lacks a certain level of discipline in the final 3rd. A decent coach could have him flying, much in the way Nuno did with the other Traore, before the wheels fell off.

Maybe offer them around £10mil and some add on's + Conor thrown into deal? worth a shot Phil!! Also imagine Olise learning off Jack on the left side of our attack.

As imagine Olise learning off Jack on the left side of our attack. Sorry, zero likes left before midday. Yes makes sense. Another to go along with our own academy stars, I guess the long term plan is to be making us stronger ie. Buendia and others but with one eye on the kids replacing other squad members in upcoming windows, where we are selling for decent fees and buying in whilst not far off breaking even most windows. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 I am paticularly heartened by the speed and concise nature of our transfer business, it smacks of surety and purpose, decisive thinking and action. We have dithered in the past and it has been unnerving. This "early bird" syndrome flies in the face of waiting for the market to warm up.....we are proving to be pacesetters and trail blazers. Well done Villa. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jas10 Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 I could see us making a move for Sander Berge… I have no idea how good he is or what his main attributes are though… Can he be that quality, imposing DM for us? How was he back in Belgium? Believe he was highly rated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a fair old unit is Sander, but I think its important to be mobile in that role too....not sure if he is that mobile. He has played 29 games for Sheff Utd and I think their fans views are mixed, on him. I am really not sure, this one doesn't hit me in the face, like the Emi B one does.

jacketspuds Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Still think Edouard could be a good option to challenge Watkins. Celtic apparently want around £15m and he could come in with the prospect of pushing Watkins for a place in the team, much like Iheanacho did at Leicester. Plus, Arsenal apparently want him so that’s a reason in itself. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
