Just VT see's an influx of posters that only appear at this time of year bit absent the rest. If I remember rightly, you were posting relentlessly around this time last year then disappeared for a year. I'm one of them... The transfer windows are actually a fun time to be on VillaTalk. During the season it fluctuates between being a pleasant optimistic place after a win and overrun by doom mongers after a loss. God help us when we hit a rough patch of form and people start calling for Deano's head every other post. I'd rather avoid talking about Villa than be bombarded by the excessive negativity around here that creeps in at some point every season. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 It's from the transfer round up page on the telegraph website, as well as the Smith Rowe stuff also says that a defensive midfielder is a priorty for us this season... A defensive midfielder is also seen as a vital position - it is understood that Southampton Oriol Romeu is admired by Villa's recruitment team and coaching staff but the south-coast club will be very reluctant sellers so, at this stage, any deal appears remote. Smith is also looking to strengthen his backroom team this summer and is targeting a specialist set-piece coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creeper Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Do we think we will go in for JWP, Alvarez, and Romeu and a CB (Could Romeu fill in at CB? I don't know much of him?) or is it likely that JWP wont happen due to the money Southampton would want? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you just awesome at cutting and pasting before the paywall kicks in - or are you a mahoosive tory? Either way - please cut and paste the full bit about ESR. Many thanks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 (edited) I copied and pasted before the paywall set in. Villa will make an improved offer for the England under 21 international after identifying the attacking midfielder as a key addition to Dean Smith's squad this summer. Arsenal rejected a bid worth around £25 million from Villa earlier this month and insist the 20-year old is not for sale. Smith Rowe is in talks over a new contract with Arsenal and the club remain hopeful of striking an agreement, but Villa believe a potential deal is worth exploring. Villa have already smashed their transfer record this summer with the £33 million capture of Emi Buendia from Norwich, while former England international Ashley Young joined on a free transfer last week. Smith Rowe is another top target and it is understood Villa envisage him playing in a front-three alongside Buendia and Ollie Watkins, with captain Jack Grealish operating as a No. 10 behind them. Too many times last season Smith was frustrated with attacking moves breaking down on the wings or in areas in front of Watkins, so those positions are seen as crucial this summer.

KAZZAM Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Surely we can do better than Romeu. And buying of Southampton will cost a fortune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jas10 Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 We may as well get in the throw in coach that Liverpool employed for a while too… Hope we still get a free kick specialist in, I’ve come round to the idea of signing JWP but there are others out there… Romeu seems like a strange one, is he even that good?
