MrSmirch Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 I imagine we’ll consider Ibrahim Sangare now that he’s no longer a bargain and is on the radar of clubs far above us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These people do realise that whilst the Phillips stuff is paper talk, we actually tried sign Bentancur don’t they? I think we would have got Bentancur if it wasn’t for the fact Spurs were willing to take 2 players off Juventus - those deals coincided - and he’s doing well there. If that’s the calibre of player we’re after then I think the summer should be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steero113 Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 Remember the time that loads on here were slating Bentancur because some Juve fans said he was shit? Yeah, he's looking f**king quality. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, he's looking f**king quality. That’s because Serie A is much more demanding, coming to the Prem is like holiday in comparison… Ok that was a joke. But Bentancur is now helped by playing in a very well coached team where everyone knows their roles. He didn’t look nearly as good in Allegri’s Juventus, (and I’m not sure he would have in this Villa team either). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thabucks Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 ASM is not much better than Traore IMO. So I don’t see why we’d sell one skilful player whose end product can be questioned and replace him with a more expensive version whose not an obvious upgrade. Oh and Gerrard doesn’t like wingers apparently either yet wants to now spend £50 mill + on one . Calling BS 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 (edited) I see Reyes Cleary hasn't signed a deal with West Brom yet and Athletic reporting that there's doubts that he will sign one at all, very good goal scoring record at academy level, wouldn't be surprised if he someone we bring in, turns eighteen later this month so would be a similar type of signing as Iroegbunam, wouldn't cost a fee if he doesn't sign professional terms with them but we'd still have to pay some sort of compensation I think.

villa4europe Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 ASM was a £70m+ player before the arabs took over he's tied down to like a 6 year contract with 3 years remaining or something daft, wont be going anywhere not sure why his name always appears on here, nothing to do with us, all about newcastle and them having no reason whatsoever to sell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reivax_Villa Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 (edited) I still stand by what i said a few months ago. We need two new CB's, A holding midfielder and a quality passing CM. Mings & Konsa are not at the level that we are trying to reach. Edited April 4, 2022 by Reivax_Villa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we’ll buy one in the Summer and sell Hause. Our priority should and will be to completely revamp the midfield. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 ASM is a highlight reel nothing more. Nothing to suggest he’s anything worth what’s quoted or that we’d be interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
