The College Dropout

Don't think Nwaneri is a winger at all. He has the talent to take Odegaard's shirt imo. Looks like Dowman is already ahead mind

He's a lot better than given credit for, even among us. There was a point I thought he was a middling PL CB at best. But in the 5th season he was immense week after week. Prefer him to Botman now.

Can always be creative. Loan with a minimum obligation to buy for summer.

We need to get back to being ruthless in the market; Gordon, Isak, Bruno - we were ruthless.

Bournemouth picked up Rayan for £30m in January. We had no interest in signing 19-yo's from Brazil for the first team.

Dislikimg Dan Burn as a Newcastle United supporter is insane. And honestly fitting of someone with a HBA display picture.

Has Fenerbache or Saudi all over him

Thanks lad.

The ultimate contract bullies.

Delighted me.

Yeh if true and depending on other transfers they make it’s just a bit irresponsible imo. Rogers was the only player under 25 that started their Europa League win.

From what I understand Emery has been given the keys to transfers like Howe was last season. While Howe wanted immediate results the transfers showed he was at least Aware we needed to reduce the squads age and retain some sell-on value (in theory). Howe see’s himself as a long-term NUFC boss, he just needs immediate returns. Emery however doesn’t seem to give a toss. Which makes me think he doesn’t see himself at the club in 3-5 years time.

If Villa want Barnes I think my Emery theory might actually be true. He’s trying to win the league in the next 2 years - after that he will leave and join a mega club. Why would the club with the oldest team in the league and FFP issues sign a 28 year old for a fairly big fee?

Never understand why you lot debate Froggy in good will.

Aye it was just a thought exercise- no ill will or hard feelings. I saw Villa linked with MGW. If Villa sold Rogers, signed MGW and say 1-2 more top class players 26+ Villa could challenge for the league. But with the age profile of a squad like that, it would fall off in a few years. Villa could easily sign Mbaye or other youngsters that develop and go on to build more £50m+ players. But there is a world where they keep signing Abraham’s and Rashford’s. As I’ve said in other threads. Villa and Emery don’t seem overly concerned with lowering the age profile of the squad. Doesn’t mean it won’t change.
