limvillian Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Should be an interesting few weeks coming up once the Benteke deal is also finalized. We should see 4-5 quality players coming in. Hoping it's Amavi, Darder, Praet, Embolo and Martial. Each one will at least require 10+ in fees 50m is the minimum that should now be spent on the squad for the remainder of the summer.

Harry Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Anyone here take a punt on Michu? Apparently available on a free from Swansea!! Yes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penguin Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 I'd take Michu, although I get the impression he's a bit of a cock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have cleared a shed load off the wage bill once again this summer so I do expect a lot to be spent in the next few weeks, whether they'll all make an impact in the prem who can tell?

Jareth Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Well anyone else leaving will be AVFC's decision. Let the building begin proper and let's not bother with that ol buy out clause for any new contracts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catastrophe Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 I'm so fed up of modern football. I'm particularly fed up with Villa trying their hardest to prove you can always sink lower. Rubbish season. Delph, Benteke, Cleverley and Grealish (6/7 games) the only ones to come out of it with any credit. So lose Cleverley, sell Benteke and Delph. Grealish has had a questionable summer too. Release or sell six or seven squad players of mixed ability. Bring in free Richards and second or third choice keeper. Still waiting for confirmation of Gueye too. Everyone else is reluctant to join us. Adebayor link is worrying too. So even if Lerner doesn't want to spend a penny, after another disaster in not being able to sell the club, we have at least £40m to spend quickly on our paper thin, already useless squad. It's going to take a miracle to avoid relegation. We're three weeks from kick off with a worse squad than we ended last season with. Sick of this club/ Lerner/ football. I have a season ticket every year and it doesn't bring me any joy. I'm so fed up of modern football. I'm particularly fed up with Villa trying their hardest to prove you can always sink lower.

Oh I agree, I just don't see it happening. The money spent that is. Do have doubts about attracting Martial or Embolo but if the cash is on the table...

Chindie Posted July 17, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted July 17, 2015 Michu has severe injury problems. IIRC his ankle is more or less knackered. He won't be able to handle Premier League football week in week out, hence Swansea letting him go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dAVe80 Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 We've spent in the region of £10m already, I'm guessing. Thinking we'll probably get the Benteke and word removed money, so I think we'd be able to bring in 3 or 4 quality signings to strengthen the side (striker, attacking mid, box to box mid, and a defender), and still have a bit of cash to bring in some squad players. If we can do that, I'll be happy enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest av1 Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 So when can we expect the Relegation V5 thread? I think Richard was being over ambitious starting one in Other Football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All that net spend malarkey confuses me, so I just tend to look at it as spent and made. So currently we've spent about £10m and made about £12.

theboyangel Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Crikey, the needed list gets bigger and bigger.... Now we urgently need: Lb- hopefully amavi keitel signs Cm- to replace fibian wealth. Dardar would be a good fit Am- better option than zog and tonev. Praet would be awesome. St- benteke replacement. Please not adebayor! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
