missed 55 games in the last three seasons apparently, he isn't even a good passer. When he was playing well he was just really good at winning the ball back IMO.

I don't like either story/suggestion 

Think there will be a mix of the type of signings and fees we pay… a few free transfers, low cost buys or even loans will help pad the squad out with some extra quality and worthwhile options… and we’ll spend much more on a few key additions/upgrades. 

Our lack of depth and the drop off when reserves came in was exposed. We weren’t great in ECL and need a better squad for CL. We have to sharpen up defensively most of all.

Fully trust Unai and Monchi.

I think plenty of players who are not up to standard will be moved on, including youngsters. Sure we mean business.

Unai can elevate most players but… I don’t know if he’s good in possession and can pass the ball well… any player coming in has to be really technically gifted. 

Is he much of an improvement on Dendoncker? Last thing we need is another version of him… it’s one thing having height and strength but we need mobility and composure on the ball… we are a passing team.

Surely you saw him loads of Leicester when he was good?

he’s really good at getting the ball back and is a unit so he is better than donk but technically he isn’t

They will do their best as they see it, honestly I’d be paying contracts off on some of those players if they are still here in august just to get rid.

Not much… I’ve paid less and less attention to other teams and even leagues over the years…

Just focussed on Villa mainly.

Well he was very highly rated 3 years ago, a player totally out of our reach and he has nose dived.

Thats a good question jas. I rwally don mot think he is a upgrade at all on dendonker

Think we’ve already done fairly well to get rid of who we have so far… in the last couple of windows. Previous people in charge really struggled with it but Monchi has fared better in that regard…

Sanson’s gone now, Coutinho is likely to go to Brazil (Vasco)… lot of chatter around that.

If he’s willing to go, Chambers will get a move.

Can we get a good fee for Archer?

Olsen’s deal up soon?

I’m worried about Dendoncker tbh… his value has plummeted further, limited player, lack of game time… Will we get a decent offer and anyone willing to pay his wages? 

We have to rehab Hause and get him a move…

The bigger sales we could make are Digne, Carlos and Cash.

I’m assuming youngsters will continue to be moved on, namely Iroegbunam and Kesler this time.

In that case… Unai could revive him. It’s what he does…

Tielemans has been better than many thought or predicted…

In that case, it’s a no from me

Unless Unai wants him!

No reports yet though, so no reason to believe it…

@Jas10 can we actually sell Archer this summer if we have to re-sign him from Sheffield?

Yes, but buying club can’t sell him until the next window.

A player can have 2 transfers per window, if I’m correct

I don’t know the details but I presume so… can’t see why we would have structured the original deal the way we did (I don’t know the details of that either ) if we have to keep him/cannot sell him now. 
 

Dunno if it’s dependent on timing, when or how early we get a sale done either.

 

 

Basically… I don’t know shit

Probably not that difficult to find out with a bit of searching online… something might crop up on social media.

[JAMAICAN-VILLAN]

What about Sangare?

Is it Forest he went to?

I remember a few on here wanting him at the time, how did he actually do?

if we can get rid of coutinho without the book look then that would be fantastic as he is the biggest drain of the unwanted
