Seek help if you think Hause would sell for that price... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's very true. If it gets sorted before it opens it opens so many more doors for us straight away. Maybe it convinces free agents too who can sign elsewhere before the window opens (Kamara, Belotti, etc) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhan_Zhuang Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 (edited) I would just once like to get the transfers in and done early, to build a preseason around new players and integrate them with the existing squad. If we could do that Villa could start the season strongly, last season we were under-cooked with players arriving late, pre-season fixtures cancelled and losing our best player.

Yeah, must admit I thought the same. He has poor posture for a footballer too, looks so awkward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heck even Leicester will probably look to take him as squad player given how bad they've been defending corners last six months, reminds me of when we were conceding every game from corners in Lambert's first season.

useless Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 An ambitious championship club might swoop for Hause, maybe we can sell him for £10m and include a £5m promotion bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah like that idea. Many will say they can't see Hause moving on but it felt like he was given the contract to keep him happy. Wouldn't surprise me at all to find out a gentlemen's agreement for him to leave in the summer or a buyout clause was included that we anticipate being activated pretty early on. Perhaps not but won't surprise me. I really like Hause and he's done his part, been professional and played well when called upon but I'd rather have somebody providing genuine competition to Konsa and Mings. That isn't Hause. Even if we replace one or both of EK/TM, Hause shouldn't be the back up to the new guy imo. Sell Hause and sign genuine competition with a view to making our current starters backups, or atleast eventual-backups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sell Hause and sign genuine competition with a view to making our current starters backups, or atleast eventual-backups. I’ve seen this mentioned a few times… Sell the back up, buy a new player and make the current starter the back up. It simply doesn’t work like that when you play two centre backs. You can have three very good centre backs and not four. Who in the right mind would stay around as 4th choice who was an established highly regarded centre back? Chambers is good and third choice. if you are bringing in centre backs it needs to be to replace a starter you will sell. if it were up to me I’d be bringing in a defender for all four positions, two DCM’s and buying Olson.

So you'd what, sell both Konsa and Mings (plus Targett and Guilbert) with loans for Chrisene & KKH and buy 2 new starting CBs with backups at RB and LB? Or are you selling Cash and Digne too? As none of them can become backups. I disagree with your first bit. You buy players to compete that (as I said) eventually end up demoting your starters. Ming's and Digne will both be 30, you buy young players for both positions that can compete now and eventually will be better than them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jareth Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 If we're only going to spend £12 mill on Coutinho and Kamara combined - I for one am looking forward to seeing how the rest of the cash gets spent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd imagine there would be quite hefty signing on and agent fees for both, will be substantially more than £12m in total. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
