Fuckin hate when posters reply to other posters with 'i would rather let Howe and Ashworth decide what to do than you'. God forbid fans on a fan forum have an opinion.

Surprised at the low amount of PL players that dont have relegation release clauses in their contracts

A smokescreen for what ???

Someone in the club is leaking info to a nobody called Rob on Twitter fs the clamps need changed

Exactly mate. Some are kept under wraps (tonali, pope etc) and some arent (botman, Barnes,Gordon etc). There was a while there that anytime a poster put up a link to a player they were basically told to wise up and dismiss it cos we 'run a tight ship', 'its a smokescreen' etc etc.

If we add Disasi then this window has been unbelievable IMO

We run a tight ship eh

But sure all we hear about is how tight a ship we run

Has Leicester or his agent said anything?

Thought we ran a tight ship? No leaks etc. This Barnes saga has played out in the media for weeks. Even some cunt Rob on Twitter knows when the medical was booked

I dont understand people wanting ASMs injury record replaced by Chiesa's. Makes no sense

Aston Villa are MINUS 125m on transfer sales last 3 seasons. They have already spent 28m this season and are bidding for Diaby. Would love someone to explain how they are navigating FFP. Im not saying anything shady is going on would just love to know how they are balancing the books.

You cant hide discussions between premier league teams like the Mount, Havertz and Rice deals. Word always gets out. Foreign deals are a different story they can be easier to keep under wraps.

Villas last 4 season spending 22/23 Outgoings - 100m Incomings - 54m 21/22 Outgoings - 130m Incomings - 127m 20/21 Outgoings - 100m Incomings - 3m 19/20 Outgoings - 160m Incomings -3m

Yea but that midfield will need to gel. Henderson and Fabinho would have been the experience to help them do that. Eventually they will be fine but could take time.

If we loan Frazer to a team they dont have to pay him the full 70k. It can be split between both clubs, eg Newcastle 40k and them 30k. In an ideal world we would want him off the books completely but this sorta deal would help in the short term.

Losing Henderson & Fabinho might hurt Liverpool more than they think. Its alot of experience lost

Same lad lol. Fuckin wanker Frank

No the only ones being talked about selling is ASM/Almiron which i fully agree with if we can get upgrades in or use the money to strengthen other positions. It will take a few years to build our brand/sponsorships to a level that takes the burden off player sales. We also cant become stagnant, we need change like every club. Liverpool falied to recycle and look at the drop off they had last season.

Only wingers with more goals from the top 6 teams than Barnes were Saka, Salah, Martinelli and Rashford. Mental that anyone would think he wouldn't elevate our level.

What about Gordon and Botman? We were being linked in the press well before they signed. Both signed after Ashworth was appointed.

Lazio in for Milos Kerkez. Would have loved us to get him.

So we wont be signing Barnes then?

25m would be unbelievable business. I cant see him being offered more than double his current wages so just say it is 80k a week. That would be roughly 20m over a 5 year contract. So could only be a 9m hit from our transfer balance.
