CVByrne Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 I think the key is outgoings, we need to shift these players for good prices and bank profits. We then need to get key targets in before we jet off to Australia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterw Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 5 hours ago, JAMAICAN-VILLAN said: That sounds exciting on paper, but Brighton finished 9th and are already a very decent side. Adding a finisher probably propels then up a few places, or at least keeps them where they are. If people think all of a sudden we are going to be assembling a Team of Galacticos and challenging top 4 they are going to be dissappointed. Every team in and around us will be looking to improve, and it's very fine margins. Look at all the teams above 10th and you will realise there is a reason the PL is the toughest in the World. I'm optimistic, but realistic. EDIT: If they lose Bissouma , Espeically to us, it's a totally different proposition to be fair. True about Brighton but this is their ceiling. With all the will in the world and claret & blue specs off I'd still expect us to be chosen over them because of ambition and expectation is higher, and the players we speak to should (and you's hope) would see that too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vancvillan Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Five years ago we bought in Samba and Whelan, and Josh Onomah on loan. Thank MvGrath for the progress we've made since then. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich192 Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Not sure whether he’s attainable, but Barcelona want shot of Depay. Can’t say I’ve seen much of him in recent years, but he’d be a good signing, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparrow1988 Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 (edited) Didn't see this mentioned anywhere here. Apparently in for this guy from Seville. Newcastle tried to sign him in January I think. I for one look forward to the day that we field an all South-American first 11. Edited May 25, 2022 by sparrow1988 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gompedyret Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 I like this rumor: Maxence Lacroix Quote Reports in Germany have suggested that the 22-year-old has a €40m (£34m) release clause in his existing contract, ensuring that a deal could well be struck if Villa are willing to cough up the required fee. Admittedly, I like it purely based on the price tag and most of the article really being about Paul McGrath, but hey. Silly season speculation is fun, sky's the limit.

I for one couldn't really understand why they keep talking about the exciting *project" they've been selling to players. Surely all teams bang on to potential signings about wanting to sign a few players and finish as high as possible in the league. Somehow it always felt there was more to it. I reckon part of the grand plan is to get rid of Ming's (possibly Newcastle), sideline konsa and upgrade to that Brazilian fella and tarkowski. It's a massive call to sack off your captain and figure head but any time Gerrard talks about cutting out the big errors and big moments that define results I get the feeling he has a big image of Mings in his head Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomaszk Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Quote Aston Villa are ready to step up their pursuit of the Rangers defender Calvin Bassey after his standout season in which he starred in both the Europa League and Scottish Cup finals. Steven Gerrard is set to raid his former club as Villa look to strengthen in defence ahead of the new season. The Midlands side announced on Monday that the highly-rated midfielder Boubacar Kamara had signed a five-year deal and that came only a week after Philippe Coutinho put pen to paper on a permanent deal. Not much actual content in that article. Just same 'preparing a bid' type language as usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seemed to continually make up the ground on a player in on goal and make a last ditch tackle from nowhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
