Elliot lacks the athleticism imo.

Just watched the game and thought we got away with it tbh. Brentford should have had another pen at least More than happy to walk away with 3 points mind, Brentford are a very solid side.

Somehow I forgot about our goal keeping issues :lol; I don't think we fill all of our holes this summer (I don't anticipate we lose any starters this summer)

I don't see us having the excess budget to pay 40m for a rotational striker this window personally. Right centre back and RW have to be the priority.

Thought this was a Thursday night game so took leave on Friday so I can watch this in the morning. Found out it's a wednesday night game, 4 day weekend it is

Absolute bargain price imo.

The gift and the curse of those long ass contracts.

Cant wait until it's our turn. Hats off to Bournemouth for investing in excellence.

Not really sadly for villa. Two seasons in the champions league won't bet them sponsors which are willing to pay so much imo. Look at the struggles Chelsea face who are still a much bigger brand than Villa imo.

He's not coming here.

"Early move"

Would be a good signing at the right price. If Liverpool want to slap on premier league tax, English tax etc then we need to move on.

The Mancini thing is one of the charges the PL have against city btw.

Yeah of course Bournemouth got themselves a great deal.

Huijsen has a 55m release clause.

Just ignore it all. It will be one of the three scenarios I mentioned the rest is noise.

Can ignore it. Spanish media outlet reporting on a deal between a British player and two British clubs. Doesn't remotely pass the smell test.

Going to be so much clickbait about this but strip it all back and only 3 viable options exist. 1: stay and don't extend. (he will be slightly cheaper to buy in 12 months time. But loses out on a year with a higher salary. 2: stay and extend with a clause which is lower than our currently asking price. This means he gets his bump with an out 3: leave this summer (the least likely imo as he's got no leverage).

His wage demands are high it's what stopped him from signing for Chelsea in the summer.

Not sure about that. No release clause right? And to be frank quite the step down and unlikely to improve.

If VVD leaves i expect Liverpool will buy Huijsen to replace him.

Nah they will need to rebuild IF all 3 leave but they will manage. They have the revenues to spend and an academy which can contribute. Won't be easy to push for the title but they will be in the mix for champions league at the worst.

Such a flawed article this. How does then losing their best player on a free make them more likely to buy someone who plays a different position?

Didn't they offer 150m for him a year or 18 months ago? if Salah walks for nothing it's a disaster for them.
