Newcastle will only get stronger, Man Utd looked to have turned a corner and Arsenal are miles ahead of us again. Spurs and Liverpool might be the weakest of the lot but I imagine they’ll strengthen. I wonder if they’re gearing up for a complete rebuild in the Summer. I think it's more likely we are looking for a complete rebuild of Villa Park first. That in time will increase the revenues to make us catch up with the big boys and stay within the FFP. Might frustrate some but that's reality.

Emery said so didn’t he? I think he said that club had been working to sign him and so he watched some videos of him or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He snaps a whole lot better than Gallagher for me. Connor is a lot of huff and not a lot of puff. Its good to debate. just lately yes, but his palace form got him in to the England first team squad, (which JJ is yet to do.) something he could replicate with us....my only concern is his positional discipline, which I think JJ is better. I just don't see them the same, sorry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philosopher Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 1 hour ago, Delphinho123 said: Surely Guilbert wasn’t on 40k? I imagine Sanson was but like you say, we’ll probably be covering half of those wages at least. Be surprised if Bednarek was on 50k too. We need to shift Coutinho and Dignes wages in the summer. That’s 300k a week right there on two players that probably won’t be starters for us. According to football manager those figures are quite accurate. And football manager is well known to be rather accurate with player wages. They have that Guilbert was on 40k, Sanson is on 60K, Bednarek 60K. Standard wages for premier league players in their prime years seem to be 60K. Guilbert was signed when we were a championship side, but he had a promotion wage rise clause apparently. Also they have Coutinho on 125k and Digne on 120k. All those figure seem accurate to me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't see them the same, sorry. Huge fan of Jacob so I am a little biased. Conor has been a victim of playing for Chelsea this season, that has been a huge hindrance to him. As a club, they barely know their arse from their elbow at the moment. If he was at Villa they'd make a hell of a pairing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They say he was injured but... Is he any good? Obviously played a lot of games in a row but doesn’t seem to score much for a centre forward.

I think he said that club had been working to sign him and so he watched some videos of him or something. https://theathletic.com/4120571/2023/01/25/aston-villa-striker-search/ Quote The Spaniard agreed to the signing of Jhon Duran, the 19-year-old Colombian, who moved from Chicago Fire for an initial £14.75million last week, but he was not influential in the pursuit. Sporting director Johan Lange and his team had tracked the striker relentlessly throughout 2022 and put in considerable time to convince the teenager that joining Villa was the best step in his career. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clever but I was answering the person who was asking about Duran not being an Emery signing. From his own comments he seems to have gone along with it rather than driven it. As opposed to Moreno I would say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sulberto21 Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 32 minutes ago, TRO said: I don't particularly agree.....I like Ramsey, don't get me wrong, but hasn't got the intensity or pressing appetite of Gallagher, he doesn't snap at the heels like CG.....JJ is more direct and a ball carrier.....not the same for me, both have endearing qualities. JJ is ten times better at everything you’ve said. Gallagher is overrated and commits a lot of fouls and it gets misconstrued as intensity. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farlz Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 I would be surprised and a bit disappointed if we don’t sign anyone else. Surely one more comes in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRO Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 The journo's have only taken a month to tell us " The feelers" are out on about a dozen targets.....only to find, each one has its own story, of why its not going to happen. Ah well, lets wait until the summer.....and roll out the next edition, of the "Feelers going out" part 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
