not true - didn’t get their target CL spot

There were rumours linking him to Man City say we do sign Maddison - I hope we sign Alex Scott and Gabri Veiga too along with a proper 6 - that would be incredible business from us

They’ll get at least 20m plus for Balagon too - think Lokonga stays are Tierney is shipped

I just had or have this nagging feeling of Man City coming in - Pep is a huge fan - just putting 2 and 2 together here

I’d rather sign Federico Chiesa

Said it weeks ago he’d go there The most Villa signing possible Will pay him £200k a week you’d imagine

Because they are West “Am and proper ‘ard

They’ve basically beaten no one of note all tournament Fully expect Villa to win this next season

I think there are rules in place within Spanish/La Liga employment law meaning he couldn’t take the wage cut needed or that he wanted to take Furthermore I don’t believe there was a real desire from Barcas end to keep him

Big Joe his best man?

The bloke is just after clicks - we don’t have to read his tweets - doesn’t bother me in the slightest

He’s done nothing in 3 years - no thanks

Did Holt not go to Qatar?

Don’t get me wrong - being close to Mecca and Medina is a serious pull - plus the thought of then getting someone like Mo Salah is huge too - the country itself especially the cities are really quite developed so would appeal to players and families - it’s a young county too - 70% are under 30 - the rules within the county are not as strict as people thing - obviously no drinking etc

I was actually impressed with Al Hilal in terms of who they had when we played them - this despite them missing all their WC players with the money they have they can exploit so many markets - like the South American one for example

Liverpool trying to sign Frank Kessie aswell according to the Twitter rags Still feel they are 12 midfielders short though

They will sign 2 midfielder I reckon - Mac Allister and Kone are my bet Plus Thiago - Fabinho - Henderson - Elliott - C Jones - the young Spaniard - how many more do they need…..

If it’s true he’s available for 35m I’d be all in on Federico Chiesa - I know he’s coming back from an ACL - I’d gamble Speaks fluent English which is also a bonus

I disagree - McTominay is an awful option - I want him nowhere near our team - if he isn’t good enough for Man U then he isn’t good enough for us

They have released Mariano so I am assuming they need a back up forward plus a Benzema replacement

One thing too - I always look for players who I refer to as equalisers eg what do Man City have that we don’t (quite a bit) - we don’t have a KDB type - Szabozlai would be our version of him

He played one sumptuous pass in the 2nd half - was a mini Willock to Isak pass - even I didn’t see that pass being on at the time - went through 3 Frankfurt defenders

If he stays in the PL and joins Man U so he can break Shearers record then the bloke needs shooting - I’d be joining R Madrid/Bayern tomorrow if I was him

The fact we’ve been strongly linked with Veiga suggests to me we will sign a DM too - were linked with Pablo Maia last week

Say we sign Big Dom - do people think his main role will be as a wide forward? A bit like a Big Joe - meaning we will most likely sign 2 more mids (Veiga plus 1) and possibly a 3 positional forward which I am assuming J Pedro would have been
