JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 10 minutes ago, NeilS said: Villa to compete with Brighton for Koopmeiners We seem to be linked with pretty much everyone this year, yet another new link. Maybe rather than being quiet to hide our links, we are creating lots of noise about lots of targets to hide our real ones. If that makes sense? I know there was someone on this message board who was a big advocate of signing Koopmeiners last year, could it finally happen? Aston Villa reportedly intend to compete with Brighton for the signing of Atalanta midfielder Teun Koopmeiners. That's according to Italian outlet Foot Mercato who report that the Dutchman has several sides looking to sign him. A "few" Serie A teams are said to have contacted Atalanta president Antonio Percassi and their sporting director, Tony D’Amico to enquiry about the "conditions needed" to sign the players. Napoli, Juventus and Inter Milan are all said to have been the "most active" in their pursuit. Previous reports also stated that the Seagulls had made initial contact with Atalanta. Brighton boss Roberto De Zerbi is said to have identified the Dutchman as a "priority" target as Moises Caicedo is expected to join Chelsea. The report also adds that due to interest from Brighton and Villa, a transfer "could prove complicated" for the Italian sides to make a swoop. As for Villa, the "player's profile is thought to please" the club. @paul514 would spontaneously combust! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villabromsgrove Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 Johnson would make sense. He's nowhere near the finished article but he appears to have all the building bricks in place to be modelled into an outstanding right sided attacker. According to Brennan, right wing is his favourite position at the moment and he has really good pace to put left sided defenders under big pressure, as he doesn't need to get goal side initially to get by them. His left foot is surprisingly good as well so he can go inside or outside. Emery could work wonders with him imo, and as he is only 22 he could become a very valuable player longterm. He will cost a lot more than he should be worth at the moment, because Forest desperately need to keep him. Koopmeiners is less suitable as he has no pace and although he's a good passer I think he's more suitable as a CDM, and I don't think Emery is looking to add to that area. We now have Tielemans to do that progressive passing job for us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshVilla Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 I hope were not seriously contemplating Brennan Johnson for 60m. 30 - 40m is the max i'd consider. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think 30-40m is still a lot for him. Somewhere in the low £20m's with addons seems sensible to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sensible to you, not for Forest. Do you think we should Ramsey for £23m? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if Emery wants to flip Moreno this window for a big profit (rumours Citeh we’re interested a while ago), and provide the width in attack from midfield? 5 top level CBs to cover a back line of three would make sense then.

AshVilla Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 (edited) Brentford already bid 30m for Johnson and been rejected so no chance he'd go for anything less than that. Edited July 3, 2023 by AshVilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether you believe this account or not, the smoke is building on this one, so there might be something to it. He wouldn't be someone that I'd go for (I think there's better value elsewhere), but he's got pace, potential, knows where the net is and in Unai we trust. TrentVilla on Twitter who I assume is our Trentvilla says he has been told there is definite interest from us. Hopefully it does not get further than that.
