KaKa Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Villa are bringing in some decent talent. If Emery can get them going, it's a significant step up in quality. Thought Malen looked dangerous when he came on today. Between Malen, Rashford, Asensio and Felix that could pay off massively if they click. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

One fit Centre Back, only have one striker full stop, only one experienced right back, just got shot of Buendia. We're definitely feeling the strain of the champions league campaign, no getting away from it. It's all very well signing Rashford and Asensio and Felix but our defence is an absolute car crash at the moment. If we don't sign a CB, and ideally a decent RB, then it's insane.

Both loans, though. Suspect we'll bank the credits on that one until the summer, given that big money permanent deals take so long to put together, and there's only two days left.

clintdempsey Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Asensio and Felix are good players but they don’t really seem to be PL-ready in any way shape or form. Malen could be good I suppose and Rashford surely can only go one way. And them four will cost a bomb in wages. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brummie Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 I've just read a rumour about us selling Bailey to Man United for 30m. Please do. Absolutely terrible this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never understand why fans are arsed about wages. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't envy him having to come into that Tottenham team at the minute though, and defending in Ange's kamikaze football. It's basically getting a job in a place where that job doesn't matter. Like becoming Napalm Death's triangle player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bailey to Man Utd would be hilarious. Taking some punts on some players, but could really pay off. Edited February 1 by KaKa Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuck it, we're in the last 16 of the CL, have a favourable looking line up for the next round, need some bodies in, need quality, a one-stop shot at doing something, fuck it. Let's have a pop. Bearing in mind, if you'd rewind 5 years ago and told me I'd be dreaming this, let alone actually thinking it was feasible, I'd have thought you were fucking insane.

He'll stay but having said that, if we signed Rashford, Asensio and Felix, I'd suggest something might be happening. He's great, and vital to how we play, but then again, he's also 29 and if someone waves 60m at us, then you've got to think, is there something worth considering here? Also, his goals and assists figures are awesome, but fuck me, I don't know how he manages that AND manages to miss so many easy chances. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

janpawel Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Interesting how Villa, who I consider pretty parallel to us in terms of FFP position, good managers, similar quality squads, ambitious etc........ are very happy to do loans and 2 of their first 11 are from free transfers, while we seem to hate the idea of loans and our only free transfer is getting sold 6 months later Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jewel Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Villa are quite proactive, whereas we, by comparison, like to sit on our hands and wait for the perfect transfer to fall into our laps. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
