John Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 (edited) 2 hours ago, Lerner's Driver said: Exactly right. This is the new normal. As ever in life, adapt or die. As fans we are actually behind the curve, so the Saudi shenanigans seem new to us, but the club will/should have been aware of what was coming for some time. If we're weren't/aren't ready, then there could be some hard lessons to learn, with our hopes and dreams recalibrated accordingly. Let's see. I think this latest Saudi stuff has come as, as big a shock to football clubs (Manchester City, Newcastle and it seems Chelsea excepted), as it has to football fans. They started off with signing old Ronaldo and then thought, why stop there and why not have our own PL, as well as the teams we already have in it? It's a bit like LIV Golf, they see something they like and have it, at whatever the cost (financially and to that sport). As Monty Python said (albeit about something completely different) Edited July 20, 2023 by John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villan95 Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Is Max Aarons worth a look for RB competition? Was highly rated a couple of years ago and still young.

thabucks Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Click about link to Thiago Almada €20 mill https://tbrfootball.com/aston-villa-now-eyeing-amazing-17-5m-world-cup-winner-who-scored-eight-goals-last-season/ Quote Aston Villa are interested in signing Thiago Almada as Monchi works on bringing a new attacking midfielder into Unai Emery’s squad in this window. That is according to a report from Tuttomercatoweb, which claims that Atlanta United want around £17.4 million for the 22-year-old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Step in Villa ffs and get him here instead. would be an outstanding signing for them... Exactly the type of signing I'd want to see us make (and yes I've wanted us to get Fresneda before).

This, looked nothing more than ok at a young age and hasn’t kicked on. Looked dodgy when I ever watched Norwich last season in the championship and isn’t particularly good going forward either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is being used as a stepping stone for talented South American youngsters to go abroad and show out. Getting the ability to get first dibs on some of that market would be huge. I think several were a bit surprised that Almada went to MLS because he was seen as the next big thing. I think we could use the Emi(s) pull to convince him and it would be a great decision to get him 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeypuzzle Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Just a thought....with Cuadrado moving from Juventus to Inter, does that free up Dumfries for us to take for right back now? We were linked in the Spring. He would be an awesome addition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
