PSG loaned him to Forest last season, maybe we could do a similar deal… We badly need to replace Olsen, he’s too nervous and calamitous! I’d go as far to say that he could derail our season if he’s required to play a significant run of games - if Emi is injured or suspended. There is no greater downgrade in the squad than Olsen coming in for him. It’s urgent! Can we loan two players from the same club?

On ability yes, in terms of his frankly ridiculous anti-vax beliefs, a hard no. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jas10 Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Matty needs challenging (I’d prefer an upgrade), must be a reason why we let Young go… Let’s see if Unai plays Konsa at RB in any of these friendlies… I think the priorities are GK RB Attacker DM if Dendoncker is sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ender4 Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Salary changes - I’m completely guessing so please don’t be too harsh with my guesses haha. IN: Pau - £100k Diaby - £125k Tielemans - £100k Total - £325k/wk - £17m annual. OUT: Steer - £20k Young - £40k Nakamba - £40k Sanson - £40k Total - £140k/wk - £7m annual. So added an extra £10m in wages, but a massive upgrade in quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about Djed Spence for the RB role? Seemed to have had a wasted time at Spurs so far and wouldn’t cost the earth I wouldn’t have thought? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no greater downgrade in the squad than Olsen coming in for him. It’s urgent! His psg wages are reported to be 200k as he was signed as one of the best keepers in the world 4 years ago. I'm guessing he would want a 2 or even 3 year contract on 100k which is alot for a sub keeper but if we could get him on loan and he's happy for 10 games or so for this season and the same sort of deal forest got of 100k paid by psg I would snap him up.

Either an upgrade on Cash, or a young player as backup who eventually replaces Cash. Twitter chatter this morning about Villa signing Dest...not sure if he's a clear upgrade on Cash, but he'd add depth at least.

From nothing more than my Football Manager (2020) knowledge of him I would say it'd be a clear upgrade. In the real world however, I have no idea but I suspect it could be! Scrap that, he's only 5ft 7"!! Burn him at the stake!! Edited July 24, 2023 by DeadlyDirk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarryOnVilla Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 I agree, chambers is a useful utility player to have about. 1 player cover for 3 positions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
