Nico Williams one is 40-50 million where it was before. Frimpong probably had like 3 more years left on his deal Williams was out of contract this summer and Frimpong the summer after 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With RB cash and Konsa are serviceable there even if it isn't ideal. But as we get more fixtures from the conference league and a potential FA Cup run we desperately need to be able to rotate Dougie and Kamara out of some games and sub them off when they are flagging in others. We saw vs the arsenal game how much we struggled because those 2 were flagging and how the game changed when Dendoncker came on for Kamara. Having a better player in that situation would open so many doors for us imo. Totally diagree with Kamara, Luiz and Donk we are pretty stacked in that area, how many teams have three top tier internationals to cover a position?

And England has some bad blood with the French yet we have some players. I didn't think you insinuate antisemitism, I just think it's a really far stretch to assume nationality plays a part in any villa business dealings.

TRO Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 (edited) I think we could sign someone, who is not currently fulfilling their potential and Unai fancies his chances at developing it. Edited December 13, 2023 by TRO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely agree, we also should ban all American players who are openly proud to be American, due to all the war crimes the mighty US of A have committed over the years, cus obviously all Americans are to blame for the actions of their govt. While we are at it, we should also ban all English players from the PL due to what the UK govt has done in the middle east/asia over the last 30+ years. only players from Angelic Nations should be allowed to play in the PL. /s Edited December 13, 2023 by MaVilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 We are interested in 23 y.o Juventus full-back Andrea Cambiaso according to Italian sites. One of those who's good with both feet and can play on either flank but according to Transfermarkt he's mostly played on the left or in midfield. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dendoncker doesn't really fit with what we want to do as a team. We are probably selling him in Jan. But he's not good enough for where we want to be regardless (he is overall but his quality on ball is lacking). We need someone that we can use to rotate Luiz and Kamara in Cup Games and who can come on for the last 30 minutes when one of them is flagging. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
