Wes Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 5 minutes ago, Tomaszk said: Roma still sniffing around Frattesi. I'd be surprised if both Luiz and Carney leave on a free next summer. I think we'll do it with one of them, but really try and force a sale this summer with the other. Someone will get a bargain price. I would love to see Ramsey and Davide Frattesi in the same team for us. Would be so much fun. Alas, I think an Italian player wont find it as easy to settle in the club right now as it would a Portuguese/French/Spanish speaking player due to the pre-existing presence of those languages within the squad currently. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coutinho played for Inter so I would assume speaks Italian. So did Young, and Olson played for Roma, but not sure how fluent they would be in Italian.

John Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 2 hours ago, JAMAICAN-VILLAN said: In all honesty, it would be quite stupid of Chelsea to sell Gallagher. The kid has a very high ceiling. However as noted I suspect the fact that he has had so much game time and is now highly coveted, could potentially force an issue. At best I think they would send him back out on loan, but from their perspective he could be very useful. I'm hoping Chelsea will continue to be stupid and I'm sure he can find the money to have it lowered. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Botman has aerial advantage, probably helps he's 4" taller. Smarterscout ratings benchmarked for Prem look like this: He’s also 7 years younger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KAZZAM Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Let's talk about realistic transfers out: Targett-15 mill - gone Trez- 3-4 mill nearly gone Anwar?? Dead quiet on him and he 100% needs to go. I'd accept 3-5 mill. Keinan - Can see a late move in the window, hopefully around 8 Mill. Sanson - maybe out the door to Gala? 5 mill sounds to cheap. 10 Mill or we keep/loan him. Hause - 5th choice now unless we are playing 3 at the back surely his time is up. Honestly think he's worth 8-10 Mill and would be a good buy for Any promoted side. Douglas - The big mystery, does he want to leave or stay or does Villa want rid?? I'd take 15-18mill for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PieFacE Posted June 29, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted June 29, 2022 (edited) Yeah I don't see us bringing a striker in either. Think they will try and get Watkins and Ings to work, and possibly keep Archer. Which i'm pretty happy with.

We're essentially banking on Ings having a much better season than last year, when I think he's probably on the decline in many important ways as an athlete. Ollie for me is never going to be clinical enough for his, his performances in multiple one-v-one situations last season was just abysmal and too worrying to ever bank on big numbers from him. IMO we should be prioritizing a #9. Appreciate that means selling either Ollie or Ings but I'm sure we'd find a grateful taker. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looks a player, but Premier League makes mincemeat of many young talents, and we've been burned before. It's a huge step up from performing in Carling Cup and Championship to leading the line for Villa in the Premier League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not concerned, if the right striker is available we will go after them. I believe they will be hunting that striker and it maybe a surprise that fans haven’t thought of or who we never considered. Just because fans can’t think of one doesn’t mean anything.
