Mikky

And supposedly agreed terms…?

Hopefully he gets his second Italian companion of the summer

Is he THAT different to Ekitike in style? I get similar vibes?

They are stupid if they have bid this

Think his song will be a cover version of Hugo Viana’s song ”Hugo Hugo Hugo”

Have the taps at the ready

Hence why I hope talk of a potential Osula loan is pure speculation - he will be a vital squad player for us next season and should get the minutes he needs

Scalvini is a sensational talent - quite a few have already said he plays all 4 positions at the back and as a DM - it’s what EH loves IF we sign him, don’t be surprised to see him in a back 3 also on occasions - Howe will deploy him in the press, so he ends up in CM and can use his footballing ability when in the midfield - we did the same with Schar against Rice I just think he’s perfect - and at £43m you are buying a guy that can be with you 10 plus years or you can sell for a big profit

I always find Schar hilarious in these videos - noting that the Swedes have a lot of control now in the dressing room - bloke is as smart as they come - always thinking ahead

It’s what we look at first when signing a player

He is very much a rotation player there - I don’t think he has the ball retention ability which is the La Liga style, plus they have signed Alex Baena who I think is a similar player?

If possible Douglas Luiz for me

It’s the Belgian player they have that we should look at - Charles De Ketelaere - the versatile forward we need

What I like about this signing is that it frees up the right side: Miggy could only cut in - Murphy can only really go out wide … Elanga does both and if an when he cuts in, it finally brings Tino in as an overlapping full back - both our left and right sides can finally do this now

I just can’t comprehend this

GK CB RW CF Then a CM and versatile FB

As an alternative you can get Kang-In for 10m less I reckon

Flogging players to Saudi is no issue for them - guaranteed inflated income

Rumours Villa have sold their women’s team to themselves

They are/have supposedly sold their women’s team to themselves

There’s talk that they may have already sold all or part stake of the women’s team to themselves - but we won’t know until a few weeks time I think we should sell Strawberry Place to ourselves for 100m

England under Tuchel are resembling his Bayern team - a complete shambles

Elliott Anderson would have done very nicely here I like your suggestion - maybe someone attainable like a Lamine Camara or take a punt on youth like Hayden Hackney I can understand the Jacob Ramsey rumours as he is similar to Anderson

A 4-2-3-1 is very interesting as ideally you would want 1 more midfielder for rotation given volume of games In the 2 Bruno Tonali (Big Joe) (Miley) Longstaff Willock sold 10 Pedro (could do with 1,more who can also play CM) Wide Barnes Gordon Murohy Elanga CF Isak (J Pedro) (Osula)

I’d go for Douglas Luiz and take a punt on someone like Hayden Hackney - replace Longstaff and Willock
