Popular Post Xela Posted August 4, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 4, 2021 I've got faith in whoever we buy. Our transfers recently have been bang on. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laughable Chimp Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 1 minute ago, KMitch said: I disagree with this entirely. Buendia is phenomenal and the fact that we managed to sign him for only 35 million will be seen as one of the biggest steals of the transfer window. Also, I disagree with the notion that our central midfield is not up to par... We switched from Smith's preferred 433 to a 4231 last season to accommodate Barkley and asked McGinn & Dougie to play deeper than previously. If Jack goes, we'll go back to playing a lot of high pressing 433 again with a main midfield trio of McGinn, Dougie, & Sanson. If we bring JWP in or someone similar, we'll have 3 box to box midfielders who will thrive in this system. We didn't really press a lot back then. We were pretty passive defensively which most likely contributed our terrible defence. I think this was one of the issues TRO was banging on and on about at the time. Furthermore, are we sure we want to play 3 box to box midfielders? Not a football manager in real life nor am I actually good at the game but that strikes me as having too many of the same types of player in the system.

Spend another few million buying the sty and a statue of him holding up a Villa shirt could put a cistern next to the sty and a huge statue of Bellingham having a crap in there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 6 minutes ago, alreadyexists said: I’m no expert. But I think it boosts it by around £100m. Haha, well played. What I meant is, how much it will boost our ability to spend even more money than we originally intended. Would this depend on the payment structure? For example, it is was a lump sum of 100 mill, or 75 mill up front, does it majorly improve our FFP standing, and ability to spend say 200 - 250mill? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ironically that was Gardner's number for us before he became a dirty lying Bluenose knuckledragger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Willard Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 I've always admired Bellingham but said he would never come because he is a Blue nose. But apparently being a fan doesn't of a team doesn't really matter. Get it done. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingysilvers Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Jonathan David would be awesome, mainly so we have more fans here in Canada and the games will be easier to catch in bars. So yeah, throw all of the Jack money at him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MWARLEY2 Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Would love Pereira to replace Grealish Equally good at free kicks and corners as JWP but with real skill on tbe ball as a 10 or winger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichiBoi11 Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 It's time to go in for Maddison. And just purely because Arsenal twitter want him. We love some twitter beef this window, time to make some more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Albrighton Posted August 4, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted August 4, 2021 My gut feeling is there will be one more “big” signing (£30m+). Maybe a midfielder. In addition to that I think there will be one or two loan (with a view to permanent) deals, maybe another £10-15m signing. I think this season is now going to be a transitional one, see how we get on without our former captain, and then next summer will be when the majority of the Grealish money is spent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not excited about him.... He was really good at the Euros but by all accounts he hasn't played like that for his club team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarryOnVilla Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 I’ve been wrapped up in the Grealish crap… so who are we currently linked with? Tammy Axel Cantwell JWP Damsgaard anyone else? tbh I think is a no from me for most of above Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there's a deal to be done there, but by the sounds of it we aren't interested. I wonder if that will change with Grealish's imminent departure.

Jbvilla909 Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 More signings of the same quality and ilk as Bailey and Buendia please, I trust Lange and the recruitment team to get it right. Other clubs will now undoubtedly try and screw us on prices. Still an exciting season ahead regardless of Jack going. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thabucks Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 (edited) I guess RB Leipzig players are out of bounds and a current stretch too far … They have a load of class players in the attacking third … Christopher Nkunku fits all criteria … Lookman would be very underwhelming !
