villa4europe Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 As Zatman said elsewhere spending that kind of money on kane and not Haaland would be madness As for mbappe, I know he's running his contract down but he's still a £150m+ player and somewhere near £350k a week, Liverpool don't have the wage structure for that kind of move let alone the transfer budget, plus then it would also mean that the various deficiencies they have as a squad won't be fixed, it's a pipedream 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah, Mbappe ain't going to Liverpool, even if they could afford it he wants top 1 or 2 club in the world. Not entirely sure which clubs that would be as Barca/Real are massively in debt but it isn't Liverpool. I don't think they'll be many massive transfers this summer. Clubs are still recovering from covid, the Euro's are a distraction, several big clubs have no money, others are well stocked squad wise (i.e. Bayern won't buy a starting striker this summer as Lewi is still good to go) and some clubs aren't competing enough for major trophies (Utd etc).

The Fun Factory Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 Pish poor coverage on MOTD tonight. They bunched the first 3 fixtures of the teams chasing CL qualification and spent about 2 minutes analysing all of the games. Then spent more time on less relevant games. Villa just had they have had a good season and that was that. At least they didn't mention Grealish being sold for a change. And please for the love of McGrath can Lineker stop slapping his thighs. Beyond annoying surely he can be pensioned off soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted May 24, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted May 24, 2021 I'm really going to miss not watching every game next season. Obviously I hope to be at all the home games, but not looking forward to trying to find little rivers for the aways. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it was probably something that worked better when you didn't know the results. These days pretty much everyone knows the scores before MOTD so it doesn't work as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted May 24, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted May 24, 2021 Oh god, I hate myself so much. I saw the following headline on the meaning evil website "Confirmed: Aston Villa seal 'tricky and explosive' transfer" I knew, just knew it would be misleading but after some hesitation I clicked it anyway. Turns out to be about some 13 year old kid signing for the academy. Even by their standards that it so so low. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've tried and pretty much successfully managed to block any evening mail bollocks being on my twitter or Facebook, it starts with a headline like this "Aston villa given green light to sign 'world class' striker in shock move" Click the link and its a comment some one made on a YouTube video fleshed out over 6 paragraphs that means absolutely nothing There was one the mirror put on facebook about javi gracia getting the sack at valencia last month, the headline read "savage valencia sack ex premier league boss with brutal 3 line statement" The statement ended with we wish javi gracie all the best for the future.....
