TalkSport said the asking price has gone up.

Can’t imagine there’d be a huge amount of difference in the fees? Although getting what they can for Watkins now and replacing him with someone with resale value is possibly a sensible PSR move. Would go down like a shit sandwich with the support I would have thought though.

Aye, Villa, deep in PSR battles, are gonna spunk whatever limited funds they have on Jackson, despite already having Watkins and Guessand.

It’s effectively two years left. Regardless, £60m would seem very excessive, although they, like any selling selling club, are entitled to ask for whatever they want.

In which case there’s probably an argument to say Wissa was a striker/winger when Toney was there, but became the main striker with Thiago injured, so getting a striker/winger in Ouattara, is replacing what Wissa originally was.

£200m spent on forwards and how does the game end? With them bombing the ball up to Harry Maguire.

First time I’ve heard Tanfield described as a “leafy suburb” 😂 Although maybe compared to Gateshead…😬

Depends how the English teams go in Europe this season. Realistically, it’s always going to be two out of England, Spain, France and Germany for the additional spots.

FWIW he was having dinner with Ramsdale on Thursday night. Not sure if their paths have crossed before?

I’d say he has all the physical attributes of (a fit) Willock, but is a lot cleaner and precise in possession.

Xhaka’s wages must be more than first thought…. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cy0qkv5q4qzo

Gone full Moyes.

Would Isak start for PSG over Dembele?

Deciding you want to ‘explore options’ two weeks before the window closes is a dickhead move.

No chance he’s going on loan unless he has an Isak-style hissy fit.

What if we want the multi-ball system in use? Why should we be punished?

Sure he’d be bang up for that…

He dictates whether he decides to be on strike or not.

Good chance it gets reopened after 5:30pm on Saturday 30th….

Was quite a bit of support for us signing him from Ajax before he went to West Ham. Been absolute dross there though.

Every time Adidas announce a new deal with a cartel club, do Villa fans go mad, questioning where they really lie in the priorities of the owners?

We’ve got a minimum of 48 games this season, hopefully end up being mid 50’s. Injuries permitting, I’d suggest he’ll be a lot closer to 2000, even as a clear ‘No.2’
