This kid has got serious talent and would definitely be worth a punt at 20mil or so. He's the next Jack Grealish imo....very similar player to Jack... he's going to be a real star in the future I reckon I wish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sulberto21 Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 Alex Scott is special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 I’ve read they want £25m for Scott. I’d pay that in a heartbeat and loan him back to them for the rest of the season. I think he’s going to be an absolute baller in a couple of years time. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the fact we are letting a fair few players go, means we must be confident of getting a couple in, otherwise we are a couple of injuries from trouble Kamara was injured mid September v Southampton. Think Dendoncker was just in case Luiz had gone on strike. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dillon66 Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Scott's decent and might be a 'baller'. £25m though ? Do me a favour. Lets get some perspective chaps... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

O'Reilly, Raikhy, Bogarde, Kesler-Hayden, K Young, should hopefully be able to step up when called upon so I *don’t see the need to be concerned, and no way is it *ridiculous IMO… Edited January 29, 2023 by thabucks 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I often think this about the academy as a whole. If it's purpose is to produce players for Aston Villa then it fails miserably with like 1 every 5 years making the grade. If it's to just produce generic footballers that might play anywhere from the 2nd to 10th tier then it does its job, albeit at quite an expense to us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moleiro because he's less likely to love beer, partying, laughing gas, have crap music taste and have an awful sense in fashion. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 I have a love/hate relationship with the January transfer window. I've reached the stage where I just want it to end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the end of this window, I’m hoping neither are starting as they certainly don’t deserve to. They’re in the side at the moment because there is nobody else to come in. Don't mind this opinion. Jack Harrison being better than both is my issue. Bertie T to come back as well of course! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
