ender4 Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 I don't think we'll buy anyone else. When was the last time Villa bought someone major in the last couple of days of the transfer window which weren't panic buys? I don't think Monchi and Emery will do any panic buys. We have a good squad which will be stronger once Ramsey, Moreno, Coutinho & Dendoncker are fit again, and Zaniola is integrated into the squad.

jacketspuds Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 Still another week left, and we're bringing in some funds from the sales of Archer, Davis and Philogene. I still believe we'll bring another forward player in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obanken Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 We haven’t been linked, but for those who are interested in checking out talents… There are many big clubs circling around Sverre Nypan who plays regularly for Rosenborg in Norway as a 16 year old. Reminds me a bit of Ødegaard in the way he plays. He is a manu fan himself and is a club who is apparently watching him. Wouldn’t mind him at Villa. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leeroy Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 Very few tangible links currently, I'm concerned that we may be done. Acuna now injured which has a silver lining as it hopefully means Digne staying, but we are still short of options with the injuries. It will really annoy me if we have moved on Archer, Ramsey and Philogene for a combined £40m to not reinvest that money. The only reason I could see not to do that is for FFP reasons, but if we are allowed to spend it then we should be going in for players like Kudus who are available within that price range. Thiago Almada also available for 15m Euros, so there are options out there that would improve us. We seem to have had trouble finding a right back too, or we are happy with only Cash as our only out and out right back. Overall a positive window but if no one else comes in then I still feel we are short again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post AntrimBlack Posted August 25, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 25, 2023 We have Digne. Just keep the LB situation as is. We really need a RB, but our greater need is a striker. Duran is nowhere near good enough at the moment. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duran isn't our back up last resort striker. Diaby can play there. Emery said he can. Man City have no back up striker to Haaland. Alvarez is less of back up striker than Diaby.

VILLAMARV Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 If JPB, Davis and Archer are off and Digne is hanging around, who else leaves at this point? Will Iroegbunam, Chrisene and Marschall be looking at loans unless injuries prevent it? What about Hause? With Coutinho and Ramsey out for a while do we keep Traore around or is he headed out? I think we'll see a defender in the door yet either DR or DRC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We won't sign for the sake of it either though. Numerous posters have highlighted Unai/Monchi quotes stating we are still looking to add to the squad and if/when our targets come available then we will act. Whether that's 1 player or 3 players or more. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can't get who we want right now it still doesn't mean moving players on when their stock is high is a bad move, would rather have a pot for January than be scrambling to get cash in then to fund things. I think we're overhyping the squad depth needed for Europe with how handy the group should be, we'll likely have one average team and 2 teams our reserves should beat comfortably even with our current squad looking a bit thin. Still think we'll certainly see another 2 but if we don't it's not the end of the world Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
