Suggests less than the 60 million asking price.

That’s a mental stat

It shouldn’t be a choice between that tbf.

I wonder if he we knew he only wanted Chelsea all along, or we just wasted a few weeks on a player we were never going to get.

Didn’t pay the asking price in the end either.

We won a trophy for the first time in forever, that in itself was a miracle.

And funding our rivals.

It’s not mad tbf some may be over the top, but he hasn’t played well in years.

And Wilson signs a new deal.

For the most part, Ascensio was poor for Villa.

Really hope we don't go for him.

We wanted him before he went to Chelsea i think.

Decent shout, looking at another massive fee considering Bournemouth don't need to sell.

Assuming we are looking at similar profiles to Pedro, Cunha etc, any suggestions on who/where we go next? Pretty unique profile so struggling with any names.

Villa are at risk.

Aye, tbf just realised he came from PSG didn't he? He would have been on a high wage there and wouldn't have taken much of a cut.

I don't think its unfair to suggest Howe performed miracles with our squad last season tbf.

Didn't think Leipzig would pay that much tbh (not that i would have a clue).

Doesn't seem to have driven up his asking price mind, been 60 million all summer.

My only issue is, surely the club should have known exactly what to expect regarding prices, wages etc. We have had 18 months to get ready for this window. Being quoted massive fees should not come as a surprise.

We haven’t signed DCL ?

Still think him leaving was the best thing that could have happened to him (for his career).

Based on last summer and how we operate, I imagine we have a very short list of targets. Don’t expect anything quickly though.

Yeah, I’d imagine around 40. Too much for him imo although he’s a good player I don’t see him as the RW profile Howe would want.
