    Just stumbled across it.

    Apparently there have been discussions between us and Chelsea, no idea for who though. To be honest, the less we help Chelsea financially the better IMO.

    Yeah it'll be something like that, a point deduction that puts them mid table at worst and a season out of Europe. This is the reason why City will get a slap on the wrist at worse, the Abu Dhabi links to the UK government go above the PL.

    That KO slot is reserved for Liverpool
  5. duke313
    He's out of contract so won't be getting anything on 1st July. Unless he has loads of offers, I can't see him demanding a huge lot more than that as he would essentially be coming in as a backup option. Even if we doubled his wage to £60,000, that's not a lot for a PL team in the CL.

    This is a good point, if we were linked to 2022-23 Leon Bailey, pretty much nobody here would want us to sign him. Emery seems to be able to get players to perform to their absolute peak, no reason why he couldn't do that with Barkley.

    Ross Barkley

    duke313 replied to LondonLax's topic in Villa Talk

    Sounds like there is interest in bringing him back. in fairness, Emery has tuned some of our players into top 4 quality, be interesting to see what he could do with Barkley.
  8. duke313
    He was only on £30k per week at Luton.

    I don't think they are going to get a severe penalty as some on here think. A hefty fine and at worst a transfer ban for a couple of windows.

    Even if those teams keep their players, we'll still be competitive in the CL. If we can beat City and Arsenal (twice), we can beat Girona and Stuttgart.
  11. duke313
    Most of those teams with exception of probably Leverkusen are going to be picked apart. Guirassy, Stuttgart's top scorer will almost certainly get a big move and Undav their next highest scorer is on loan from Brighton so i'd imagine he'll return. Girona might not even be allowed to play in CL with their links to City, and are already losing one of their main players, Savio who's signed for City. Bologna will get decimated, Thiago Motta is Juve bound and they'll lose their top players like Zirkzee. Leverkusen will get a stay of execution only to the fact Alonso is staying, if he had left they'd have been torn apart too.

    I wasn’t saying that Glasner is as good as Emery, only that’s he’s had a similar impact to Palace as Emery had with us when he first came in. A good coach makes a huge difference. You’ve kind of proved my point, these players were performing pretty average before Glasner, and now he has them playing as good as they probably have their whole Careers.
  13. duke313
    They have a good manager though, we as a club should know how much of an impact that can have. But they will lose a few players, Mateta linked with PSG and Olise will probably move.
  14. duke313
    Two of Eze, Olise and Mateta will be sold in the summer id imagine.
  15. duke313
    Didn’t get seeing it, how bad were we?
  16. duke313
    Palace will do well to keep hold of Eze, Olise and Mateta.
  17. duke313
    Zirkzee would be a big yes for me.
  18. duke313
    I agree with @Jas10, Digne was halfway out the door. If transfer target Acuna hadn’t got injured I think we’d have signed him and Digne would have been sold. But credit to Digne, as he performed well this season, but I can see him moving on.

    Could be a quiet summer

    Jhon Durán

    duke313 replied to PieFacE's topic in Villa Talk

    Could be worse, at least Durán ain’t rocking about in a Chelsea kit.
  21. duke313
    I’d take him before I’d take Grealish back.
  22. duke313
    I’d like to see Barkley under Emery, he’s shown this season that he can excel under a good coach.
  23. duke313
    I'm not sure Luiz will leave, not this summer anyway unless he's forced out. He was celebrating as much as Emery was on the touchline when we equalised against Liverpool, he loves it here, and will want to play with us in CL for first time.
  24. duke313
    I don't think we will, the likes of Ferran, Joao Felix and Pedro Gongalves was pre -Monchi wasn't it? I'd imagine him and his scouts will have their own shortlist of players.
  25. duke313
    This season he's only started 12 league games, and 3 CL games, he's a backup.
