This is gonna be our Robinho equivalent.  Less rapey, mind.

 

If this is the case and they really are going for one big name marquee type signing the list of options would be fairly small right now, unless you count the likes of Zapata as a big name of course. 

 

It would be someone whos north of 30 and doesnt start week in week out imo so Bale, PEA (please no), Navas and so on.

How are we going to sign one of those when we wouldn’t pay the wages for Coutinho or Digne because Howe doesn’t want to unsettle the squad?

Who says we are ? We are talking completely hypothetical situation. Don’t believe the wage thing either, if someone truly world class was available and wanted to join you think we wouldn’t pay the wage ?

Doesn't look like our style to take on ageing superstars to be fair..either aging players who are still good, or have something to prove, or under the radar/underrated younger stars. Can't see PEA or Bale.

This is the reason why I cant really see it happening, even Muller is on £300k a week

Well, those two were available and we wouldn’t.

How do we know that it has anything to do with wages though? Right now Aston Villa is in a much better position to attract players.

And Bale and PEA are? 

 

We aren’t signing anyone ‘world class’. One for the reason I’ve already mentioned, secondly because they wouldn’t come with our position.

 

Any signings would be in the Botman, Carlos, Bruno sort of area. Which is fantastic for us, obviously. I suspect we may end up trying again for Carlos, if anything.

Howe has said he doesnt want to unsettle the squad by bringing in someone on a massive wage, so you'd assume £100kish a week is about as high as we'll go right now 

 

Edit: See you what you are saying, wages might not even come into it

As far as i'm aware, there isnt actually a quote saying that, its just something that come from the media as a potential thing.

It was reported by at least two journos (Hope and one of the Sky lot IIRC) that we didn’t even go in for them because of the wages.
