Ordinarily I would say not too far, but pretty sure there are a few out there that would come , maybe slightly below the level we require that could improve .

Ashley17 Posted July 25, 2025 Share Posted July 25, 2025 What a pointless tweet. No contact, not for sale, not interested anyway.

I think pretty much everyone we've targeted has left their club actually, just not to us. And we have made bids for them as well.

Obviously a bollocks story, but I assume there's ways around that. Surely we could just get him on loan with a fee up front + a clause to make it permanent next year if it ever progressed that far.

Turnbull2000 Posted July 25, 2025 Share Posted July 25, 2025 (edited) Current starting 11 for Villa? Elanga possibly bedded in slowly. Gordon or Osula Barnes Joe Tonali Bruno Murphy Hall Botman Schar Tino Pope Fucking fuck me. Suppose it's a better team than three years ago.

Not to be dramatic but our lineup goes from top 4/5 with Isak to top 10 range without and no replacement. He really is the difference between us and the rest of the pack of Fulham, Bournemouth Forest etc etc. We lose our talisman and aren't able to adequately strength across the rest of the team then we slip back into the pack and lose our status as one of the teams breaking the stranglehold at the top of the league. I have zero confidence we would be able to use whatever money we get to sufficiently recruit. Our current negotiating team have proven they are not up to it this summer.

That and puts massive pressure on Osula to get goals instantly which he hasn't demonstrated yet and the rest of the squad to increase their output. Only hope is that elanga has goals and assists in him and we do have goals in other areas of the pitch they haven't all come from Isak. However I agree generally a star striker could be at least 4 or 5 places difference even if the rest of the side is performing optimally. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the difference between Newcastle and Fulham, Bournemouth etc is that Newcastle have a better manager, better centre backs, better full backs, a better central midfield and better wingers, and, presently, a better striker. Better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turnbull2000 Posted July 25, 2025 Share Posted July 25, 2025 It's fascinating seeing the Villa fans on Villatalk.com aren't as gleeful about this as I expected. It's dawned on them that they're pretty much as fucked as we are (though maybe not run as badly as us right now). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexf Posted July 25, 2025 Share Posted July 25, 2025 Are there still rumours of Chelsea taking Rogers from them? Would have a similar feeling of smaller clubs put in their place due to PSR although on a smaller financial side than the Isak deal ofcourse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
