Minteh wasn't an option last season. So you're essentially comparing Anderson to Tonali and Kelly to Dummet/Ritchie, plus the addition of Osula. I'm not sure how anyone can say that is a weakening of options.

Because you are playing four players out of position you mentalist

I’m saying they are the decision of a transfer committee. As it’s been reported that that is how the club operates. You seem to be making it up as you go along.

Again, more baseless assumptions. Why are Guehi and Olise Howe targets but Isak, Tonali and Bruno G not?

I don’t think Eddie has ever commented on a single one of those players on the list. Where are you getting this from

We did. By no means does that mean that was the only range of players we were interested in. You don’t believe Mitchell wants Guehi? Fair enough. There’s zero actual evidence of that though so it’s very odd to present it as fact.

The bit where you said the players above are the only pool of players we are interested in. The bit where you said Mbuemo is part of that pool despite there being absolutely zero credible reports indicating that other than people on this forum saying they like him. The bit where you said Howe has told Mitchell to get Guehi

No offence to you but why have people consistently come with opinions in this thread they present as fact with next to no evidence suggesting their claim. It’s mental

Fair play I didn’t know it was that high. And how much have they invested so far? It must be close to that figure right?

I'm not sure how you've worked out that PIF's investment has trebled in value. They'll be at a large net loss at this stage.

Absolutely nailed it. Some of the posters on here are genuinely embarrassing.

.com have it wrong, it’s definitely two.

Nope, 2026

What a mental take

Makes sense, he’s currently fourth choice LB. Hopefully he can have a good 6 months and we get some money for him.

The Athletic is quoting unconfirmed reports saying we’ve pulled out.

Some people whinging about paying this lad the same as Bruno a few months ago

Of course it's possible to suggest that Villa won't do as well as last season when they have 8 extra CL games to contend with. We are literally an example of that from last season

Eh? I mentioned Chelsea, Liverpool and Villa in my post

How on earth you can say Chelsea have improved when they've arguably worsened their manager and become even more of a trainwreck than last season is beyond me. There's an argument that Liverpool, Villa and Chelsea will be worse off even if Man U, Spurs and Brighton improve.

Even with zero signings we have added a top class CM (Tonali), have at least 6 less European fixtures to deal with and would have to be insanely unlucky to have anywhere near the same level of injuries we had last year. I'd be shocked if we didn't finish in Europe as it stands, let alone with more signings to come in.
