For the right deal, I could imagine him flourishing under Emery in a way that he wouldn't under ETH. He needs someone to walk him from his experience in Germany to the Premier League. He's really very young, to be fair, too. I honestly don't think anyone can say for sure how he would work out at Villa, but he would need to come at a reasonable price. He’d also need to cut his wage in half, maybe more. Can’t see it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully his agent and he are clever enough to understand that taking a big salary upfront would be harmful -- even financially -- if the ultimate price is a paralysis in his development as an athlete.

And you do suggest that there are Villatwitter guys who just sit there make shit up, right? Do I have that right? I believe you, but it just amazes me people would find that personally meaningful. Mental. What a bottomfeeder soulless way to live. A huge number of people on Football Twitter are young teenagers/children. The majority of these fake "ITKs" are without a doubt just attention-seeking kids. Frankly, for their sake, they better be: sadly, there are some who are definitely grown adults. It's annoying, because once in a while you do just get people who are lucky enough to know a thing or two (like the Leicester fan who knew Tielemans' wife), and once in a blue moon you have people who are actually ITK. I think Everton have a guy on Twitter who knows their stuff. Edited June 13, 2023 by wishywashy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man United hasn't been a happy home. It's been a pretty screwed up family there in the last two years, and it's not the kind of supportive environment where I think Jadon would have a better chance. And now he's being linked to Tottenham? That seems arguably worse. Chelsea, too. Brighton or Villa would be much wiser moves for him if he wants this mojo back. I remember the whole summer when the whole saga of Sancho from Dortmund to Manure dominated the news and transfer talk everyday and he was supposedly "the next best thing". He's hardly set the world alight since his move there though. I doubt we're in for him or even remotely interested either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abdulaziz1 Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 I think our board could get a good deal for Sancho, they could agree a paycut as part of the fee (not sure how applicable is this), but I don’t think Man Utd are in a position to negotiate properly and I don’t think there are many buyers as well. I think for him and Felix if we want them we’ll probably get a good deal. I guess we’ve done the same with Coutinho in the way we reduced his wages, so he probably settled with Barca with part of the fee. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sancho may be too much of a project, really. Can't see how we have time or the excess funds to mess with that. Emery seems too pragmatic for it, too -- and maybe a bit busy with other things lol.

And there is one guy on there that just constantly makes up bullshit, I’ve never met him, and frankly I don’t want to as he’s a dick! But when he gets called out in it he just says things like “ah had you all going there” and emoji implying it’s all ‘banter’… it’s pathetic to a certain degree, but I think some people are just wired that way. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a shame because once you mute the dozens of accounts on Villa Twitter that do nothing but spout/spread lies it's a pretty alright place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gaz90 Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 Edin Dzeko anyone? I've not seen him in a few years, but used to love watching him play. Can he still do it at this level? He's got Prem experience, he's a different type of striker to what we have and age is but a number according to Emery. Decent goals to mins and fbref stats from what I can see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 I remember a few years back we were linked with a lot of players called Jonathan, I think most of them played for Lille, one of them was Jonathan Bamba, looks like he's going to be available on a free transfer, I know he was well rated at one time, not sure if that's still the case. Looks like there are actually quite a few decent players going to be available for free transfer, Daichi Kamada another interesting one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume how it would work out is we pay him like 150k a week, they pay him like 200k a week for the rest of his current contract period. And then we pay like half that to the transfer fee so it doesn't **** our wage budget. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he played 30 games worth of minutes this year he'd have scored like 10 goals and should ahve got 8 assists. That's pretty impressive in the prem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 (edited) Adama, Dzeko, and now Sessegnon if Digne leaves, is it 2018 Edit: 'Sessegnon if Digne leaves' that doesnt' look like the worst idea actually as attack minded alternative to Moreno, but I think Sessegnon would want to go somewhere where he's more guaranteed of first team starts, but I think we would go for a young left-back of a similar description in terms of style of play.
