Seems only Hause and Davis left surplus to requirements. Can't think of anyone else. You asked and answered for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 That Emery quote that some players will bel leaving is a week old or more, this a trend I've noticed recently with some of these Villa news twtter accounts, they tweet quotes or news stories that are old knowing that many will just presume that they're more recent 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes things up and quotes sources where you can’t actually confirm or deny it was ever said. Quotes things from weeks ago that aren’t relevant anymore. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maqroll Posted August 1, 2023 Author Share Posted August 1, 2023 It's funny how even with the three massive signings we've made so far, most of us, (including myself) are not remotely satiated. We must have more, much more! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another forward player will be dependent on us shifting one or two of Bailey, Coutinho, Buendia and Traore. We may see another midfielder if Dendoncker moves on.

We must have more, much more! I think it's because we know how thin the squad was during the run in last season. We had 3 goalkeepers on the bench, FFS. Our 3 signings improve us, but we need another 3 upgrades just to continue to challenge for Europe again AND be competitive in the cups. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 7 hours ago, wishywashy said: There also seems to be an obsession, especially on Twitter, with overhauling the squad and signing a bunch of players in a window even if there really isn't a need to. That often causes more bad than good. It's like that for lots of teams. I don't want to say its the 'modern football fan'... but it is! The transfer market becomes the most important thing. This a great view on it from a couple of years back https://dean-magazine.ghost.io/archive/the-cold-dead-world-of-the-extremely-online-liverpool-fan/ Quote The first thing you must understand about these fans is that transfers are the barometer by which they believe all footballing achievement must be gauged. Liverpool had a relatively quiet summer on the transfer front this year, but they still solved the most obvious hole in their squad by signing centre back Ibrahima Konate. Of course, that was never going to cut it for fans who deem “winning” the window as the most telling metric on whether or not a club is in good health. It’s fair to say that Liverpool Twitter in the closing days of window was in a state of anarchy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emery has raised the level of all of most our squad - from when he arrived in November, were we the 3rd best team from that point? Thats quite amazing really. Hoping to see a new Bailey and a fit Carlos as well. Looking forward to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
