Philosopher Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 Just now, Kiwivillan said: Buendia has another assist in FPL but not counted elsewhere. He rattled crossbar and I think Watkins tapped in the rebound That's all comps. No other goals or assist. They need to up their game next season. Fans seem to rate Buendia more, but Emery tends to prefer Bailey. Buendia only got a run because Bailey got injured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoelVilla Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 I wonder if Bailey and Buendia don't have their own threads. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m the worst ITK in the world … I worked with someone years ago at OUFC who now works for Wasserman… I only get to hear about players we are either offered or didn’t sign … Villa are a tight run ship with NDA’s and he cannot put his job in jeopardy. I get snippets every now and again which usually go nowhere but that’s not to say they’re BS either… All he said is look out for Norwich defenders poss getting linked - so obviously it’s gotta be either Aaron’s or Omobamidele.

Plus he has huge potential at just 20-years old. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indigo Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 According to their now departing Sporting Director, Norwich turned down £20+ million for Omobamidele in January and are resigned to losing him this summer. Getting linked to Milan and the likes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 I imagine we'll step up interest in Barnes now. Spurs making joke bids for him, Leicester need to sell and he seemingly wants to stay locally so if you want someone proven to quickly settle in and be there for early pre season I'm not sure there's a more obvious signing on the market for us to make. Then once Monchi is installed I imagine we'll step up to try to find that game changing attacker from abroad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jas10 Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 (edited) So… IF (big if) we were actually interested in or pursuing targets that have been mentioned online or in media, if there was ever any truth to any of it, it sounds like we’ve missed out or been unable to attract or pry them from their clubs… e.g. Asensio, Kang-in, Williams… Best to aim high in any case, worth trying for high calibre targets then working our way down the list… So, can we come up with some DIFFERENT and possibly realistic names that we may or should be interested in? It would be refreshing to see names that haven’t already been linked or mentioned and possibly the kind of player Unai and co would go for, rather than a massively overpriced and overpaid player… I don’t have enough knowledge on current players (was more of an obsessive in my younger days) and what sort of talent is out there across different leagues that would either make a major impact on the team (upgrade) or have huge potential. A player I would dream of us signing but is too unlikely would be Chiesa, he’s been one of my favourites for a while. I rate Milinkovic-Savic but he would be expensive and difficult to attract and we probably don’t need him or to spend so heavily on such a player. Players like Kang-in seem really interesting (PSG - boo hiss), those that are highly talented and ready to take the next step up or be part of a “proper project”… I wonder who else is out there that would work out well for us… I’ve just notice this Gabri Vega guy… too much interest from “top clubs”. I would assume Unai (and Monchi) would mainly target La Liga players and possibly South America… I really hope we’re in a position, in the near future, to sign some of the very best prospects from places like Argentina and Brazil… Japan and Korea seem to be producing some great talent too..

The_Steve Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 We will still have biggger targets than what’s been rumoured and speculated on, especially when Monchi joins. We are in for quality this window first and foremost. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
