You are right. No idea where I got 5.10 from Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players get paid less for the privilege of playing for Aston Villa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
messi11 Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 He covers both DM and CB. We can mould him into what position Gerrard and the coaching team think he fits in best. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketspuds Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 This is like the Bissouma deal in that we have to get this sorted in this window. There will be too many other interested parties if we try to get him when his contract runs out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young, Buendia, Bailey, Digne are over 100k Konsa, Mings and McGinn are in the 90s. No way is young, he was Burnley bound but for us! They seldom pay over £35k 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Been waiting for this... We must have seen him when we saw sanson, linked with a lot of bigger clubs but I think he'll land at our level realistically, also with 6 months left I think the demand for him is a bit exaggerated, could have signed for someone by now Think he definitley fits in our squad 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Made In Aston Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 (edited) This one makes more sense then the Bentacur rumour. Bentacur is more of a CM than DM (only 14 career appearances there). Kamara has played quite a few games at DM and DC, both positions of weakness for us at the moment. Also at this stage in his career, I don't think many clubs bigger than ours will realistically be in for him. He also has plenty of potential to improve and warrant a large profit on our investment.

sne Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 This one was right at the top of my wish list going into this window. A mix of age, potential, position and prize due to expiring contract makes him a great target. As said above he needs time and is not a win now player but IMO we have time with this squad build. And it's not likes he's years away. Half a season to get used to the tempo while gradually integrating him is perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeyAnty Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 If he is out of contract in summer he won’t be going anywhere in January. Why would he let his owners get 10m when he can get that in summer. Its like Barca telling Dembele they are going to sell him. Yeah good luck with that.

Very little logic to this unless he isn’t asking for crazy stuff, which I suspect he would be given he has ran down his contract.

VillaChris Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Interesting link, this is the Marseille guy right who plenty push on this forum for us to sign. I wonder if Sanson may be involved in this deal, perhaps a loan until end of the season or go back permanently as while he's had more minutes under Gerrard he's dosen't start if everyone is fit and would be further down the pecking order if Nakamba was around. That could tempt Marseille if it's serious interest as you'd think someone like Newcastle would be all over this player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pay the premium for getting in above everyone else. Massive signing on fee, plus 15 - 20 mill to his club? If it came in at 20 - 30 mill where Brighton reportedly want 40 - 50 for Bissouma could be a good deal? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhan_Zhuang Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Just watched the last five minutes of the first-half of Lens v Marseille. He's playing in three different positions, at first he was DM, then sweeper and by the end of the half in the middle of a back five. 5' 10" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
