  1. Snap I think we will try to get one but if we can't get a deal that suits us for the right player we will walk
  2. I am ITK on this. ElGhazi to Everton in this window
  3. In fairness, I think he would make a great DCM with the right coaching. We may be missing a trick here
  4. Don't they do that with just about nearly all their players, the only one I can think of that they renewed a contract for recently is Aubameyang. The exception is ESR.
  5. I have a strange feeling that Chambers could turn to gold and be our best signing of the window. I have no reason for this other than a few cans of beers and in the back of my head Chambers is a quality player of international standard and Gerrard et al will get the best out of him
  6. I would be happy to see him succeed at that task, if Watford stay up then one of Toon or Everton will go down imo
  7. I posted this on the Chambers thread in err. Apologies mods!
  8. It was that or you thought Xia still owned us
  9. They nearly announced a few. They made a lot of progress in various discussions but then with the player or the club told them to F off. Latest rumour tonight was that Ash Young said he didn't want to join them (I am not joking)
  10. I don't hire people who only see positives. I hire people who are able to see the negatives too. Finding the solutions is the easy bit, identifying the problem is the tricky bit
  11. As a free transfer I suspect his wages are comparable, if not lower to Tuanzebe's as he just signed a new contract. And we own the contract and don't have to worry about replacing Axel in the summer. If we bought Axel he would probably cost 10m+. Financially, this is a very smart acquisition. Hopefully, he will turn out to be a smart acquisition from a footballing perspective as well
  12. We blew 25m on Digne and Mendy is there and can't get into the City team at the moment. Our recruitment team are clueless
  13. Come on sidcow, don't leave me hanging. What is it?
  14. The giveaway is VillaTALK It doesn't matter who we sign, we will TALK about them. That generally means discussing the positives and the negatives about the players. It doesn't have to be boolean and be we love him or hate him. Most people like the players we are signing but they have an open mind to see BOTH the positives and the negatives. Chambers is a decent player and maybe a smart purchase but we are allowed to discuss the negatives. I don't think it would be possible to sign a 27 year CB from Arsenal on a free that doesn't have any negatives
  15. That makes this deal an awful lot more attractive. There is potential there and we could possibly sell at a profit in a year or two if we wanted
  16. He is only 27! I was thinking 29/30. He must have been a real bright spark as a 19/20 year old. He has a good reputation from years ago and then gone off the boil. 27 is a great age for a free transfer for an England international
  17. We could loan them Chambers for 3m for the rest of the season
  18. Purslow was holding this one back for the last few days waiting on Toon to sign someone so we could announce just after them but nobody will sign for them so we had to announce it. We will try and hold back Bentancur till just after they announce someone
  19. Is that as opposed to coming in as cover for Watkins and Coutinho?
  20. We may have to wait a while, it appears most players are just laugh when Toon come in for them
