Chicken Field Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 I feel like dawson is a fine short term replacement til carlos is back. We were never gonna sign another 30m defender this window. Dawson-Mings should be solid enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wondering whether or not it’s outside the realms of possibility now or whether a deal could still be done or lined up. I would imagine the player would love to join a PL team and earn a lucrative wage… maybe there’s still some kind of release clause in his new contract? Failure to qualify for Champions League may affect his thinking too? Or should I just move on and stop dreaming? As the days go by, the concerns over failing to address the midfield grow… maybe a deadline day signing is in the works but… who can say? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyblade Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 Dawson is much better than Bednarek. He'd actually be our best CB after Mings. I'm all for this one as long as it's a short term deal. We might actually be threatening from set pieces now too. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think we need to do that personally but our net spend is very low. Because if we were to spend another 30m, it would be to replace Mings, when our priority right now is to find a short term solution for Carlos . Also net spend is overrated, our wage structure has exploded. Net spend is a too simplistic way of looking at finances. We are simply in a position where we need to sell first, trim the squad. not to forget signing on fees* free players aren't much cheaper than other players these days Edited August 27, 2022 by Chicken Field 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 (edited) I've been wondering if we might perhaps move for Adama Traore, a wide forward with pace, which is something we seemingly want after coming close to signing Sarr, in the last year of his contract with Wolves and doesn't look like he's going to sign an extension, they're a selling club so would probably be open to letting him go, better that than losing him for nothing next summer, he also wouldn't cost anymore than what we were going to pay for Sarr. Starting to doubt that we will sign another midfielder now, I know the media know very little about who we're going to sign in the transfer market, but they usually link us to players in positions where we're looking to strengthen, we're not even being linked with any midfielders at all. As I say I wouldn't be surprised if Luiz's new deal has already been agreed and they're holding that announcement back just in case we have an underwhelming end to the window in which case they can use Luiz's contract announcement as a distraction of sorts..

It could be a defender who plays RCB. As for our wage structure exploding, it's in the top half of the table of wages spent.... so what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now, we need to replace Carlos, as he'll be our for a long time. I have no idea what our wages are relative to other teams, I'd be surprised if there are many teams outside the top 6 who spend more than us (I found one random list, where we are 8th, surrounded by two clubs that are skint). Doesn't matter though, as our wages spent should be relative to our own income, not what others spend, which most likely isn't the best of the rest yet, I am certainly unaware of any lucrative commercial income or anything other massive incomes we currently have. The amount of money we have spent since promotion has to be in the top 3 in the premier league I'd guess. All well looking at how much we have spent this summer, sadly in the real world, money spent in the past counts too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villabromsgrove Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 When we start having conversations about Dawson being better than Bednarek for Villa, I start to despair. It's just not what I expected or hoped for. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
