Other clubs' transfers

[The Prophet]

He's a big imposing lad, but as when we were linked in January I'd worry about how rash he is, particularly with the faster pace of the PL.

[Ameritoon]

Would've liked Carlos, but we need a younger squad anyway.

 

Good deal for Leeds, he fits their style perfectly.

Very impressed with how early Villa are getting their transfer business done 

[midds]

Coutinho, Kamara and Carlos is an excellent start to the window by Villa imo. 

[ElDiablo]

They'll have a strong side next season, good luck to them. I was at Villa Park in 09 when we were relegated, but I'm over it now in terms of their reaction. Let bygones be bygones now we're both on an upward trajectory.

[RodneyCisse]

Are these deals getting done so quickly because we’re starting the season earlier?

Fuck that I wish nothing but failure for those cunts. Fuck them.

 

Wasnt arsed about Diego Carlos either. Rather Botman.

Gerrard said before the end of the season that we were already well into discussions with clubs around targets and that he wanted them all in before pre season. 
 

Wasn’t expecting it this quickly. 

[SUPERTOON]

I’m absolutely delighted we aren’t getting Carlos. Not being bitter at Villa, I didn’t want him in January either

No they are just getting deals all sorted / very early ….as all ambitious / well prepared clubs should 

 

great 3 early signings - fair play

Guarantee if we had signed Coutinho, Kamara and Carlos before the window had opened ….you would be creaming your pants  

 

infact we all would 

[Hanshithispantz]

I don't want Carlos because I expect us to bring in someone younger, but I wouod hardly say I'm delighted like

 

It's a great signing for Villa.

I really liked Carlos, very fast and physical. He might be 30 but he'll give them three very good years IMO.

[Kanj]

I’m a bit jealous at the movement by Villa. Nice stuff @brummie 

 

If Carlos was younger I’d be a bit more upset but I’m hopeful we sign our long term CB this summer to play with Burn or Schar and I’d be hyped if that was Botman - one who seemingly the club think is the club captain of the future.

Lots of water under the bridge since then including a few humblings for both sets of fans. But fair enough.

 

I'd love for us and Villa to gatecrash the top 6 in the coming years. Time for some new blood.

[brummie]

We will be doing a fair amount of selling this window. 

 

Luiz will go (which I am fine with, I really don’t get what people see in him). Traore, Trezeguet, Wesley (the only Brazilian male in the world with no innate football ability), Targett, El Ghazi, one of Watkins or Ings, Guilbert and I really wouldn’t be surprised to see Mings sold.

I'm jealous of Kamara, but not too fussed about Carlos. Coutinho was very hit and miss for them last season too.

 

They've definetly improved their side though, Gerrard needs to make it work.

I'd love to see us gatecrash the top 6. I'd prefer to see Villa just crash tbh, not gonna lie.

[Kanj]

Villa will be competing with us to break into the top. Carlos is rapid and built like an ox. 

[xLiaaamx]

Villa probably ahead of us in terms of squad you'd say. Really strong now. 

[54]

This window is going to be absolutely mental isn't it

They were last season.

[STM]

Fair play to Villa and @brummie. I have no ill will towards any other PL club who are willing to have some ambition and try to knock down the so called "big six".

 

Villa have a better squad than Arsenal, in my book, or at least comparable. With that comes pressure but in reality, if Gerrard doesn't work, they can always look to someone more proven. 

 

Hopefully they won't be the only ones making waves in this transfer window. Brummie what does your starting 11 look like now?

You’ve clearly never heard of Fumaca.

There's an unhealthy obsession on this board with Everton and their failures. That's one club who has messed up whilst ignoring countless examples of successful clubs who have done it by spending money.

 

 

Got any examples of that? Literally nobody afaik says we shouldn't spend money on new players. It's usually a discussion around the worth of a proposed/linked player compared to what people believe we will get in return, longevity and potential re-sale value of the player.
