Adams is a Championship level player and I say this as an American who has seen a lot of him. Good character/leadership ability, but isn't that good of a footballer. Interesting to see the Sevilla link, wonder with Monchi, will we see us linked to a lot of players Sevilla are linked with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully someone who can play out wide, and maybe someone who can play RB/CB if needed. I actually think it will be a relatively quiet window for all teams, except Chelsea and Newcastle, because they are rediculous. Arsenal have been busy but I get the impression they think they are close to winning the league and competing properly. The newcomers might need to invest a bit but might find it tough.. There is next to no chance we can have a competitive season in four competitions just getting in two more players. One simply has to be a front player but even then if it's more of a central attacker that leaves us short on genuine wideman as say a Plan B option. Also leaves us with three CBs and if Cash is injured we'd have to move perhaps Konsa to RB given we've lost Young who can cover both sides no bother. Just asking some kids who've come back from loans to championship bottom half teams to plug the gaps is where we've gone wrong in the past and expecting too much of them too soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They might go for money yes but let’s not pretend they are desirable. Newcastle definitely not but Manchester have established themselves as a city with upscale establishments and lively atmosphere spread throughout.

Its only when something becomes credible that it should get its own thread. Its a bit weird to come into the one place that is designed for what you hate and then be annoyed it's in here. Also, I'd suggest less than 0.1% of real transfer news has ever disclosed their source since the Prem started. Saying "they don't reference their source" as if it means anything is crazy 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Adams is a decent player to be fair. Leeds went to shit when he was out injured. I've also just read Brighton are looking at him and their recruitment over the last few seasons has been unreal, so if the price wasn't ridiculous, as depth for Midfield cover, we could do a lot worse. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thunderball Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 We will be looking at 5 to 10 players for each position we need to fill, plus the club will look for opportunity deals if affordable. All those players will be enquired about, to sound out their status. Doesn’t mean we are buying 100 players and each one that doesn’t happen is evidence of BS. Things get out, either intentionally (Agents), or unintentionally (sister in law/Dean Smiths sons mate etc). Historically there are plenty of nuggets out there that have come to bear to prove unofficial sources do have some ITK. I would suggest there is a lot of smoke without fire and a lot of bullshit. But not every tenuous link is BS. But none of this matters, it’s speculation and light relief and even humorous. We say all this every window, why does every one get uptight, it’s like ground hog day every window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichW Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 Villa gonna have to shift a lot of squad players this summer so wouldn’t be surprised if we have to wait towards the end of the transfer window for some signings. Off the top of my head:- Returning from loan Kieran Davis Kourtney Hause Wesley Sanson Nakamba (guess Luton will come in for him) Most likely going to be surplus to requirements Robin Olsen Calum Chambers Traore Feel like it’s going to be a struggle to shift some of these off the wage bill.
