Guest Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 I'm happy regardless tbh. We have a plan, it might be a case we get the odd window where we only sign 1 or 2. We're in an area of the league now where upgrading what we have and getting players to challenge the teams above us is going to cost a lot of cash. If we finish 6th or 7th next season, then fine. I've no doubt the club know what they're doing and we'll be in an even stronger position in 3-4 years time than we are now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s mind boggling how many people want to carve up a successful team that has bonded and achieved two massive things that literally have not been seen in almost a generation - a cup final and CL qualification. But nah, ship them out to buy someone else. They’re not good enough. As above… buy first and then move on. This is a long term project. This is what most fans forget! There is a long term goal and we are way ahead of schedule! Strap youselves in and enjoy the ride! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatwax Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 11 minutes ago, Nucasol said: Which is fine in principle but we’re now in a world where a strange set of financial handcuffs can create the need for fire sales or risk European lockout which, in a circular reference, probably means letting your best players leave for potential trigger clauses. Unlike all the other cunts any deal we do with a Saudi club will be drilled into amidst huge gnashing of teeth and caterwauling. Yeah and I 100% appreciate that sales will need to be made, that the team will change and evolve and that sometimes you have to sacrifice a player to improve. My issue is the posts that are becoming more and more common of people saying to just sell player X, Y or Z for the sake of bringing in someone else. We have only a handful of ‘legacy’ players that would bring in any kind of fee. That doesn’t mean that we necessarily cut and run at the first opportunity.

khay Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 It’s going to come down to which players garner some interest. We talk about selling players but they will also only move to something they see as a good transfer for them. Either for money or a good opportunity.

Groundhog63 Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 (edited) It's depressing reading a post from someone saying its depressing having Miggy & Murphy as RWers but then they quantify that statement with "we're a Champions league team now" Depression turns to pity Edited July 12, 2023 by Groundhog63 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 11 hours ago, Alberto2005 said: What would people prefer, LB or RW? The thought of Almiron and Murphy as our first choice RW is depressing. I reckon I'd rather have a RW than LB. I'd prefer a LB, to boost our attacking options as much as defensive. Any time the ball goes near Dan Burn I start to worry now.

McCormick Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 (edited) Poor move for him but understandable; his reputation exceeds his ability imo. Would be a great signing for Villa though, unfortunately. Edited July 12, 2023 by McCormick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdm Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 I’d be disappointed if Villa got Diaby and we went for Barnes. Just my personal opinion Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The source you quoted on the other thread states: “Is Diaby attracted by a move to Aston Villa? He is thinking about it. He knows that the club is going from strength to strength, but the lack of Champions’ League football is in the negatives column as he ways up a possible move.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toon88 Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 (edited) No guarantee Diaby is a hit, or he even wants to go to Villa. Tbh, given our financial position, I’d rather bag a proven PL player like Barnes, for half the price. I wouldn’t be jealous over missing out on Diaby. Villa must be close on FFP Edited July 12, 2023 by Toon88 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Potentially, but circa 70 points will be a big ask for them. Don't forget only two teams have broken into the top four in circa 20 years. Though it is five places this year I think.
