Deal not as close as made out by some If we sign him this window it will be Jan 31st job but I'm not convinced, feels more like the summer is more logical for this transfer. Think Marseille are only 6 points off PSG now aswell so outsiders for title. If we were six points off Arsenal it would seem strange for a regular player to leave us to join someone in mid table.

The last player we signed, started for their team just 3 days before we signed them. We might not be close, we might be finalising the paperwork as I type. We might not even be interested in him, but him playing for them in the last game isn't an indicator of anything particularly, other than the club he's playing for wanted him in their starting line up that game. Depends on what your definition of close is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the record, I personally don't think we'll be signing him this week, but I'm not ruling it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duke313 Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Seems we are linked with Dani Parejo as well. If those links are true, maybe this is no longer happening, or will wait to the summer. Can't see us needing both in January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it would be the standard sign then loan out for 6 months job. If that cuts a few mil off the price tag it could be worth it. Especially since it might help them deal with FFP.

AV82 Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Let's be honest, with the way we work at the moment anyone we're actually linked to is likely to be bollocks. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villabromsgrove Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 I really hope we do sign Guendouzi. I think most of us would agree that a major weakness with the team on match days is the lack of a killer attitude to win at all costs. We've even labelled ourselves as "a soft touch" over the last few seasons. The signings of Kamara and Carlos (when he's fully fit again) have added more potential bite to the team and signing Guendouzi would be another big stride in the right direction. We need leaders whether it be vocal, physical or sheer mental attitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCJonah Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 I really want this one. I think it would be a major signing for us. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villarocker Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Guendouzi was at Arsenal with Martinez, right? Maybe he wants to join up with the big man again, especially if our World Cup winner has had a word "Villa is a big club mate". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
