Taken over by money people from Indonesia (I think) a few years ago then roped in Fabregas, who is now their coach, Henry, and a handful of other fairly recently retired top players to invest iirc 

[Collage]

Bit surprised there haven't been more talk of Justin Kluivert, with the Bournemouth-Howe connection and NUFC connection through his dad. Reportedly valued at 30-35m Euros. Can play as forward and on both wings. Leverkusen "preparing a bid" apparently.

[Colos Short and Curlies]

Kluivert would be my number one choice if he wasn't predominantly a left sided player.

 

What about Ascensio? Proved he can do it on the premier league, one year left on his contract so probably available for a lowish price (helps with the inevitable high wages).

Old and expensive. We can't afford players of this profile sadly.

For the most part, Ascensio was poor for Villa.

I thought @brummie said he was brilliant, perhaps he can adjudicate. 8 goals in 21 games is a pretty nifty.

If we lose out on JP I’d love to see us go for Xavi Simons

Sneaky bid for Kudas now seemingly Chelsea would be out of the running? (Even they can’t sign another attacking player now, can they?)

They're never out the running…

If they’re willing to sell him in the £30-45m range, I’d snap their hand off.

[AyeDubbleYoo]

Would definitely take, very different to Elanga though. Definitely needs to improve decision making and end product but has all the talent. 

[The Prophet]

Is Samu still tearing it up at Porto?

[Stottie]

Kudus seems good value at 60M if that's what it is. He's better than Pedro. Lots of dribbly action for anyone fretting about us not beating a low block.

No - can't give Chelsea another penny

[Sibierski]

Only give Chelsea money for their genuine top youths, like we did with Hall. Acheampong and George the current stand outs that are on cusp.

 

Stay away from middling players, even if they could become good. Leave them at Chelsea so they get saddled.
