Tayls Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Just now, Delphinho123 said: Yeh, course mate. Two really experienced businessmen who've been ploughing money into the club are now just going to completely stop because we've hit the lofty heights of 10th place. I guess that's why Emery joined yeh? Because he was promised Alex Moreno and his objective was to finish 10th for the next few years? Just remind me, which regular starters have we sold again in this window? Man, you lot. The money is there (as you full well know) and we'll spend it when the club sees fit. No more squad fillers. We'll spend on quality additions and get rid of the deadwood. Stop posting for a reaction. Ok… so, where are the new players? What’s the reason if we do not bring anyone in? We decided not to because we are Aston Villa and we sign players when we want? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's made out that all our transfer are done with the utmost secrecy, when it's only really a few. I remember reading we were interested in Duran during the World Cup, so either November or December. Bailey wasn't linked until a few days before he signed I think. Ings was out of the blue. I think there are a few like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite a lot of players, like the Villa, once they get here.....quite a lot stay in the area, once they retire......Talking BMH and surrounding area of course. I would think the wives ( Of the South American Boys) who have a huge say, in life matters, have made friends with each other too...not to mention the heavily Spanish/Portuguese speaking squad and backroom. I don't particulalry want him to go, I feel we can keep at least one mercurial talent in the squad.....just not many more than one. Phil can change a game, not of late granted.....But I feel we can accomodate, one like him....due to his exceptional talent when on form. I feel we are going through a bit of a renaissance, where we are establishing ourselves again, The hard to play against tag, is starting to feel bonafide. When we are a bit more established like Newcastle, and teams back off us a bit, players like Phil can prosper, like Almiron has. Talent like his, is hard to buy.......We couldn't in normal circumstances, buy a Phil Coutinho.....I wouldn't be too quick, to dispose of him....He is still a game changer as he illustrated at the Etihad....we just need to work on his application. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we have a list of targets and none of them want to come? Isn’t the chances of that being the same in summer? What changes being devils advocate.

Good players that are performing well for their sides are always gonna demand a high fee. If we wanna improve on the players we've got we just gonna have to pay up. If Emery wants them that is.

Smashing our £38 Million transfer record shouldn't be a problem in 2023. Leeds just bought Georginio Rutter for 35.5 million Newcastle buying Gordan for 45Million Arsenal bid £60 Mil for Caicedo Over to you Villa I think, that when Man U are valued at 7 bill and Chelsea at 4 bill.......Aston Villa bought for 57 million......it should leave a lot of latitude to Billionaire owners....I know its not quite as simple as simple as that, but thats the rudiments of it. not much risk, it seems to me. Ramsey....McGinn....Kamara.....Luiz......have cost us less the 20 mill in transfers....not bad eh!!! but we can't keep shopping at Aldi.....and expect to dine at the Ritz.
