huss9 Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 wonder what Bruce thinks about Villa bidding over £30m for Buendia. i though he'd spoken to the other premier league managers and they all promised him they wouldnt be spending much due to the covid financial crisis. that bastard dean smith lied to him and tricked bruce into thinking all clubs have no money to spend!

He’s Ashley’s little lap dog so will be super happy he’s just in a job in a division which is way above his actual ability. Villa another club trying to move forward and leaving us behind hoping to another battle for the Ashley holy grail of 17th. We’re well used to it by now though. Could well be the same old story for a good few years yet also without this takeover going through. Hey ho. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce will be gutted they didn’t entrust him to spend that type of money when he was there, despite him being top class and having nearly 1000 games under his belt (or is that pies…?).

Oh I agree totally, that group of clubs trying to improve are expanding and the group of teams battling to stay up will in all probability get smaller. With the Ashley method of how to run a club it is only a matter off time before we are flushed as we’ve already seen twice before. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pfff! Steve can shrug that off by pointing out that he was backed to the tune of a spanking £40m to land exciting Brazilian talent Joelinton. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rafalove Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Aye. I mean I get that they’re getting on a bit so need to think about the future. Loans aren’t going to solve that issue of need I get to replace our centr backs I. The future so if we can’t get anyone in, might aswell ignore the issue rather than develop other clubs players for them, so they command a good transfer fee for them in the future.

Loans are perfect if your only ambition is to avoid relegation in the coming season. Assuming the player on loan is any good of course. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 A loan that'd rule out borrowing Willock again, for a position further down the priorities Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheInfiniteOdyssey Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 I think Saliba is a really good talent but this isn't a priority position, especially with Lejeune returning. It would also rule out another loan for Willock in the summer or January if Arteta wants rid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 I think we need a CB tbh. I don't think Bruce rates Lejeune for whatever reason, Clark's declined a fair bit the last year and wasn't great to begin with. That leaves Lascelles, Schar & Fernandez (if he signs on again).

joeyt Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 I know it worked with Willock (in that he scored the goals to keep us up) but I hate us loaning players from the bigger teams and effectively just becoming a feeder team for them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We wouldn’t need a CB if we had a competent manager. Literally about the only position on the pitch we have adequate cover for and he ostracises one of the better CBs we have and sends him out on loan.

matta Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 (edited) Hope we don't go for Ajer. He is too error prone, and miles away from what we need. Whenever i've seen him play for Norway he's looked sluggish and poor. If he does end up here, please prove me wrong. He was regarded as one of the finest talents in Norway years ago.

He's actually not that good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
