I've been thinking about this - you'd think a Brazilian contingent would help integrate another Brazilian into the side/club faster but could it also work the other way to? To large of a group of Brazilian players in their own little group rather than mixing into the rest of the squad?

Really hasnt recaptured his form since the head injury (6 in 32 in the PL) and is 31, think he will end up in an easier league abroad somewhere.

Wait, hes NOT a baldy?

Luckily for you he has a relegation clause of £30m, dont think we would get him mind.

Hope thats real, the Saudi green will have some people triggered

Not sure if there were any news after this but it defo looks that way

Not sure if its been mentioned here yet but Lodi and Bruno are supposed to be good friends, might count for something

I meant right, im playing fm right now and signed him first season had him playing on the right for 3 seasons now - must be losing my mind

Raphinha would transform our right side instantly, apparently has a relegation release clause of £30m to. Sadly there will be many takers and Barca have been interested since last season.

Solid bit of twitter farming that

Anyone seen much of Nunez then? Always seem to get mixed opinions on him

I think hes one of the few players within our reach this summer that would be worth it, Howe would also be judging each case on individual character as much as ability.. never heard anything bad about Tammy so im sure he'd fit in well.

Tammy is my dream signing this summer, £67m for him seems doable as well. Other clubs will be ahead of us in that race though and he seems to love playing for Jose so maybe he wont even leave this year.

Thats steep even taking into account how high his stock was after leaving Liverpool, insane money to have sat on your bench for 2+ seasons.

Thats a big come down from what hes on at Barca, would be a difficult one imo

Coutinho is on 400k+ pw at Barca iirc, Villa are probably paying around half of that right now.

To be fair, I did like - personal insults thrown around and everything Its all good though And like I just said, I think 120/130 will be the top end of what we offer this summer BUT theres always a chance we go higher for the right player. Not sure how thats back tracking but okay. Agree on Lingard, hes not worth that at all.

I got some shit on here a while back because I said we wouldnt be pushing our wage structure very far past around our current top earner in Bruno at 120/130k, I still think this will be the case. As you said it could be pushed a bit further for the right player but Howe is very big on squad harmony and the unity of this club that hes carefully moulded since he came in.. this is why I just cant see players coming in on close to 200k a week. Step by step we will get to that number with new contracts for our current core along the way, possibly next summer?

Home shirt there is clean, as others have said though the sponsor always makes or breaks it

They could easily lose in the final, play offs are never straight forward are they?
