Needs a break from the pressure of No1 imo and a good keeper and presumably wants to leave. Not because Leeds have gone down, just because Leeds. He is one of the main reasons they went down. Cost them a lot of points last season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adman Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 Just now, TheMightyVillans said: He is one of the main reasons they went down. Cost them a lot of points last season. Yes, that's why he'd be available and might be happy to not have the pressure of No1 slot. Hes been very good previously and very young 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frodo Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 So do we think we're in for both Diaby & Johnson ? Or do we think it's one or the other ? I don't think I'd be able to cope if we got both in Johnson the quickest player in the Premier league & Diaby the quickest player in the Bundesliga & then Watkins leading the line wow just wow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hes been very good previously and very young With the right frame of mind he is a lot better than Olsen. But probably wouldn’t want to be a number 2.

CVByrne Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 If we get Diaby over the line, we've made 3 good signings and strengthened the squad well. We should be pretty happy with that 3 players who I'm sure will start our first game of the season at Newcastle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vancvillan Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 Need a young keeper with a high ceiling who sees the value in coming here to play in cup and ecl games whilst learning off Emi and Unai. Ideally someone where a lot of the work has already been done but we can get them cheap and take them up a few levels. In short, who's the baggies academy keeper? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 I reckon we'll be picking up one of the better 2nd choice keepers from La Liga, the Spanish Tom Heaton. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shay Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 Diaby, Goncalves/Johnson and a RB and we’re set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markc Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 #avfc to continue talks with Bayer Leverkusen over Moussa Diaby, but price could be €50m+. Villa have also held initial discussions with #nffc over Brennan Johnson. Lucas Digne of interest to Forest, though wages an issue. Willian & Forest 50/50 at moment. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indigo Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 Still think David Soria was a good shout for a keeper. Believe he's still available on a free, has loads of top level experience and had some overlap with Emery at Sevilla previously. Only thing is I wonder if it'd make sense to use the back-up keeper as a way of getting another homegrown player in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Steve Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 Due to his contract situation at Barca, let’s just sign Tenas as backup GK. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only thing is I wonder if it'd make sense to use the back-up keeper as a way of getting another homegrown player in. Not sure on what exactly entails a homegrown player, the specific criteria. Also unclear on how many young British keepers excel at using their feet and passing from the back… Random name - Gavin Bazunu? Don’t have many suggestions of my own and likely to get the same reaction (why would a first choice GK or a player that wants to be first choice join us?), but good to throw some names/options out there… We should have plenty of games to play and Emi won’t play them all, we need proper cover and to move Olsen on… we could bring in an actual and eventual successor to him too or go for the more veteran option. There are just seemingly not too many viable options out there that are good with their feet… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were strong rumours he was off to Real Madrid and that it was a done deal, but a few weeks back it turned out ithe deal was off as Lunin decided to stay. Interesting point about the homegrown player though. This might be a position that's resolved later on in the window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
