The remainder of our budget will go on another midfielder and then I imagine a striker depending on who we can move on. Starting Midfielder, back up Left-Back, and possibly a striker. Can't see much more than that other than outgoings. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be quite happy going all out for a midfielder and not getting a striker, Archer is good enough as backup if we don't 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarryOnVilla Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 I wouldn’t say no to a 6month deal still a great player and will be hungry to play and be fit and sharpe for the would cup. The only risk is potential injuries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He take a major pay cut for the game time, pretty much like Phill 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus he did a good job at spurs last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't see how he fits our team though, as a narrow 10 or as the striker? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted June 16, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted June 16, 2022 No thanks to Bale. Shouldn't even be a conversation unless we change our name from Aston Villa to Wales. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that’s why he be a great short term signing. He’s going to be ‘chomping on the bit’ to be in the best shape and form of his life… purely to help Wales in the World Cup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacketspuds Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Where would Bale play? Certainly not as a CM, which we need, and I wouldn't play him ahead of Buendia or (if he finds his Leverkusen form) Bailey. Would be a waste of finances in my opinion. Let him go to Man Utd in a late desperation deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he cares where he plays, he has won it all and just wants to keep going to make the World Cup, I can see him retire straight after it.

Only way is to play high level football. short term deal, would be a low risk and beneficial to any Prem club and to Wales Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
