rbcuk Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 (edited) Barnes would have been good a couple of seasons ago, now we are shopping for a higher calibre player I think than what barnes is and what they will want for him, out of him or Torres it’ll be Ferran all day long Edited May 25, 2023 by rbcuk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decent price. Still quite young. Can play multiple midfield positions. Is a shitehouse- which we need- too many nice guys in our 1st11. Played regularly under UE before. Can score goals and pick a pass. Lastly... has played in the Premier League before- and played well. Honestly I think its nailed on he's coming to Villa as one of our signings. I for one would be delighted. UTV 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ejs1111 Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 I'm guessing Villa make 4-5 signings this summer. Agree with other comments that we will need a squad assuming we make Europe- so we may not sell as many as people are thinking. If we make Europe and have reasonable success (advance to knockouts) and reasonable success in both cups (win a few rounds each). That would put Villas season at about 52+ games next season. Easily enough games to rotate the squad and get 15-20 games for squad players. Thats alot of minutes to go around. Could absolutely be more if we progress further in any of the 3 competitions. 1 defensive signing. Definitely will happen for me. I'm guessing there will be 1 player from RB/CB/LB will be sold or not re-signed (Young). Creating a need to be filled/upgraded. Personally I can see Digne being sold, Young re-signed and being LB backup, then going out and getting a RB/CB upgrade on Cash. That is my guess. Mings/Konsa/Carlos/Chambers all stay. 1 midfield signing. Another certain for me. Guendouzi is my best guess. He ticks all the boxes for me- as I stated in a previous post. I can see us selling several MF players and looking at our loan kids until January at least. We can sign MG and bring in Ramsey and Tim until January for cups and early Euro matches. Then asses the kids again in January. 2 forward signings. We need upgrades here. I like the links being posted. I can see us spending big on one (like a Nico Williams type), then less on the other (like Kang-In). I'm guessing 2 players from Coutinho/Bailey/Traore will be moved on to make room. Duran could be loaned out and Archer will stay until January to play in cup/Euro matches. 5th signing will be a better backup GK. UTV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be amazed if he didn't move clubs this summer for a lot of money because he's been so consistent for La Real these past few seasons. He is substantially better than Guendouzi. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s got Champions League with Sociedad so I guess he won’t leave lest someone triggers his release clause. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clubs around the top table of the PL becoming scared of us breaking in and try to unsettle our players with derisory bids. Mings isn't for sale, they should try Dunk instead at Brighton similar age and profile and Brighton might actually sell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What these plastic idiots don’t realise is that, Alex Ferguson’s Man U won the league lots of times but Man U haven’t won the league without his help since 1967. That’s almost 60 years ago! Those of them that haven’t already bought a sky blue shirt yet need to get a move on before Pep clears off. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
