But there's no announcement for the paperwork being done is there, the club announce it with pics and videos etc

Surely it's done but they just haven't announced it yet because they're fannying around editing some stupid video

The speed at which we finish deals after fees are agreed and medicals are completed is absolutely mad

Can anyone link me to the Uncal Mick Sunderland pictures please? Need them for a discussion with a friend

Hold on, Osula, Willock and Murphy all being linked with moves away. Have we got 3 deals lined up or something, that would be madness

So if Wissa comes in will we actually have a squad place left for anyone? Or would it have to an u21 player who doesn't need to be registered in the squad?

Aye come on Shadow Puppets, we could really do with some ITK info to say we've got 2 class players lined up for tomorrow

If we bring in a striker and a midfielder tomorrow maybe I can stomach it, but right now this is a right shitter

If we're willing to sell at £125/130m, why didn't we just fucking negotiate that with them a month ago when they offered £110m. We could have had a replacement in for the start of the season.

We must surely be bringing another striker in. Absolute madness if not

Brentford and Wolves are asking for £65-70m for Wissa and JSL - crazy money really because it's late in the window and leaves basically no time for a replacement. We should be doing the same with Isak, regardless of him being a little bitch

Would be surprised if Leipzig sold Sesko, Simons and Openda in the same window, it would be their entire attack gone

Just doesn't really have a strikers instinct does he. On his heels when he should have been making runs in behind or trying to get on the end of crosses

Paqueta is overrated in my opinion. And that's not a great deal for Villa, if they're in PSR trouble they shouldn't be spending almost £50m on a 28 year old

Whilst this is true, the millions we gained by not having a 10-point deduction and achieving Champions League football has probably made up for it

Yeah, the proportion of A-league players who make it in a top 5 league must be pretty close to 0%. It was a cheap punt and it didn't work out, hopefully he can make a decent career for himself in Europe somewhere

Would the Antony and Hojlund fees not be losses from a PSR perspective though? Not sure on the contract lengths etc, but the Antony fee was ~£80m and Hojlund was ~£70m right? You're probably making a loss PSR-wise on both players

This lad was an absolute monster in the Belgian league

How many fucking wide players do they want. Ridiculous

This Frattesi gets a lot of goals and assists for a centre mid. Could also be a part of the plan to replace Isak - sign Woltemade and Wissa and also beef up the goal contributions from midfield too

From not being able to move his arm to being available 5 days later. The man is a God

Having Tonali available for this would be huge, he makes such a difference to the midfield

He seems a smashing lad from that interview. Much prefer him to that sulky twat Ekitike

Worth pointing out that Stuttgart finished 9th and Frankfurt 3rd last season too, which will impact a few of these stats

Just checked the numbers on datamb. Amongst the top 7 leagues last season, we were 82nd percentile for pressing and Stuttgart were 83rd percentile, so very similar according to that
