Astroblack Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 (edited) Watching Villareal Atleti from last season on Premier Sports and came upon Nicolas Jackson for Villareal. 21, 13 La Liga goals. Ball on a string, literally looks like he’s playing a different game compared to everyone else. I want him. Villa linked because of Emery connection but let’s pip ‘em. Edit: in the last five minutes, I’ve seen him do that Neymar skill where he popped it over the defender’s head an scored, launched himself into a crowd of bodies for a diving header attempt and started running literal circles around Oblak during a corner trying to distract him. He’s wise beyond his years. Edited June 12, 2023 by Astroblack Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Transfermkt reckon value £15m seems canny on there info, only 21, contracted to 2026 so would cost few more quid Edited June 12, 2023 by wyn davies Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
greydos Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 The write-up in The Athletic about Zubimendi’ of Sociedad is absolutely drool-worthy. He’s basically Busquets regen with a Modric add-on. Let’s hope Nickson spotted him when scouting Isak! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have mentioned Zubimendi a few times on here - he is fantastic - I just assumed he’s the type that would stay at his home club (don’t know why I would think that) they have great potential to be a top 4 team for a few years I’d invest in Redondo Jr - a few loans then bring him in - similar profile but arguably significantly cheaper Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbandit Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 Eh? Selling Chiesa? I’ll readily admit I’ve not watched him recently but he’s an amazing player. Has he had major injuries? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCormick Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 (edited) Seemingly lost a yard of pace and the fearlessness he once had after a big injury. Looks a shell of his former self tbh. Hopefully just a mental thing but it makes sense to cash in now while his stock is still relatively high. Edited June 15, 2023 by McCormick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sempiternal Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 Could be a good rehab project for us if he’s not completely fucked, still young enough to turn it around Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 He did his ACL and was out for nearly a year. Great player but a lot of his game was his pace and work rate. Italy have not had much luck with players getting serious injuries - Zaniolo doing both knees consecutively has massively curtailed his original potential too.

gbandit Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 He’s already gone to Villa, no? He also has an air of mercenary status or at least isn’t someone who id feel confident would always give his all for the team Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's naturally more cover for him anyway If newcastle sign 2 player at cm then the money will be depleted already, while they still need winger, central and left defender anyway. Wouldn't it be more reasonable to sign just 1 cm, and the 1 others is free agent, so the money can be spent elsewhere? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LV Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 Maybe. But it certainly won’t be Tielemans, he’s gone to Villa. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodneyCisse Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 Probably because Villa are going to be giving him at least 50k more than we’d be willing to a week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt1892 Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 I would have been happy to sign Tielemans as a bit of a project and I don’t believe he is wanting anywhere near £200k a week. However, we would be opening ourselves up to all sorts of issues if we make a punt of a squad player one of the best paid players at the club and would cause ourselves all sorts of issues when it comes to contract renewals with or current players. There was a supposed ITK post put on villa talk that was posted on Reddit a few days before Tielemans joined Villa saying he was joining in the next few days and that Villa were the only club in for him. Also that they were speaking with Harvey Barnes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
