Easy link but it wouldn’t surprise me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better passer than anyone in our team, world class set piece taker, plus a real hard worker. He would fit into our system seamlessly, and improve us in more ways than one. Locatelli would be a risk (fairly low risk in regards to foreign signings) and would need time. In this comparison you can say the extra 20 or 30 million is fair. For us we have an English manager and coaches, a dressing room primarily British JWP is a perfect fit. Not realistic though, as it's a sideish ways move, he would request 100k per week plus and the fee would be 50 to 60 million. Man City don't need first team ready players, we do. Man City have a worldwide scouting network, we don't. Man City have the draw of the best manager in the world, champions league football, and can pay hundreds of thousands a week. They can attract Locatelli, we can't. This is a guy on the radar of AC Milan, Inter, Juventus, he won't leave Italy for play for Villa. Man City maybe, Villa no way. The top foreign prospects only look at the top foreign clubs, unless they aren't ready for them. If a top foreign prospect comes to Villa he sees us as a stepping stones as the top clubs are reluctant to take a chance, or like Douglas Luiz, can't get a work permit for a top club. Take Douglas out (he never played in England before we signed him), and all our best players came from the domestic market. It's the same for most teams outside the top 6. Signing a player from abroad good enough to operate in the top half of the Premier league is a lottery unless you are feeding at the top table. That's not to say don't buy from foreign leagues. Just means if you want to sign first team ready players you need to prioritise English based players, and that obviously Comes at a premium. If you want a player to add competition, or because they're a good prospect by all means go foreign and try to find a bargain. Even with the English premium I wouldn’t entertain more than 35m for him. He has a whole bunch of positive attributes but 50 million buys you some very good foreign or lower league players 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the current troubles clubs are having abroad, we should find these Young guns and try to buy them from there clubs while there's a chance we could make it work. Kubo is a decent shout if they aren’t brought this summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His delivery alone would probably bring us an extra 15 points. Except his delivery his in game play isnt really that great.

Enhanced but more in his set pieces, him and Conor had the same goals and assists stats last season Its just another Steve Bruce like thought of a player who had a great game against that we need to sign 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Current market value of 13.5 million.. He's been on alot of Loan which is why I do not get when Smith wanted him on loan (which by the way must hint that Smith's an admirer of him) that Villa were knocked back. I think we'd get the absolute best out of him. He's tricky, fast, tough, has a never stop running around attitude much like Watkins and has those energy levels to, has alot we could benefit from.. https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/takefusa-kubo/profil/spieler/405398 ( I don't think his stats compared to his appearances tell the whole story to be fair) Edited March 27, 2021 by Dave-R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's the sort of calibre of signing that would push us up to 7th or even 6th anyway. I think we can do better than Saint maximin, I do agree though he's miles better than Ghazi and Trez, even if combined both of them he'd still be better. No offense to them but it's time to move on from Ghazi and Trez or we will never be a decent scoring side having either those on the pitch. But I doubt Newcastle would sell him anyway, I think if they were to go down which I do not think they will. They may bounce back up unless they struggle like we did and then I reckon they'd be stuck for years or do a Leeds and it be a decade of champ football. Sometimes a club has to reset themselves when they go through a tough time and it maybe Newcastle's turn to be on rid the fallen from the premier. Just like us we have to reset everything about us and it took a demotion, 20 years of bad football and some crappy managers and crap Owners to find a new Identity in and off the field and a pair of Owners who care about the club.
