Popular Post VillanousOne Posted June 24, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 24, 2019 I love the fact the rags are full of 'Villa priced out of move for' and 'X club slaps price tag on X player' statements, which is the easiest way to bury the fact you have banded about false rumours and fees, blame the team for not completing the transfer you falsely made up by making a load more crap up. Especially considering how quickly and unexpectedly we did a 22 mil transfer for Wesley Moraes (clearance permitting) and the gutter press didn't even have a sniff. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at his feed I am inclined to believe he is the same guy, but we shall see. Appreciate it's hardly "ITK" tho. Anyone can say we're about to sign someone, we've got half a squad Nah, you’ve been had mate, that’s a famous comedian 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might have been okay in the championship, but as a Premier league side I think we should be aiming for better. Would you say he's useless? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 1 hour ago, Hobbit Feet said: I disagree I think he would be a excellent addition, the right age, premier league experience, seems like the right type of personality that would fit in the squad, he’s also versatile as can play CDM or CB even RB, I’d be very very happy if we could pick him up and even better for a cheap deal with Ashley likely to accept a bid with no manager to fall out over it at the moment. Arsène Wenger has described Hayden as a player whose key assets are concentration, intelligence and strength. Equally comfortable at centre-back or in central midfield, whilst having also previously featured at right-back and as a playmaker. Of all the people to give an endorsement for a defensive player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keener window-cleaner Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 I can't believe the prices being thrown about for players in the Championship, especially the CB:s. If teams are asking for £15-20M for a Championship CB they should be locked up in a room with Purslow and let him give them some home truths. Players like Ben Gibson and Chris Mepham have been described as God's gift to the Championship and gone for decent money, but they haven't directly set the Premier League alight. Before that it was Aden Flint and Marc Roberts. Some teams in the Championship have quite some money now, but around £10M is still a lot of money in the Championship. I'm sure Adam Webster is a good player, and would be happy for us to sign him. But he is still a Championship CB, 24 years old and has no England U20 or U21 caps. Surly he would jump on the chance to play in the Premier League and for us. Bristol C come on, could probably buy almost the rest of their staring eleven for £10M. They should be happy and down on their knees begging for anything over £5M. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol City are well within their rights to ask for an excessive fee just as we were for Grealish. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he was good enough for a middle table club like Newcastle we shouldn’t be turning our noses up at him. He would ge5 in this team as it stands. for the right price I think he could be a terrific signing. He is bette than Phillips in my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post useless Posted June 24, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 24, 2019 I don't really get the constant comparing of championship teams asking big money for their players, to us asking big money for Grealish last summer. Grealish is easily one of the best players to ever grace the championship, he's proven over more than one season, a champions league club bid £25m for him, and others were interested, there have been calls for him to play for England, he's unique in that he has a style of play that not many other players can offer. Of course other clubs are within their right to aks for whatever they want for their players, but the difference is Grealish was actually worth the money being talked about for him. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should be happy and down on their knees begging for anything over £5M. Problem is we pretty much started the inflation prices in championship, we spent over 30m on McCormack, Kodjia and Hogan after all. There are plenty of good international CBs available for miles lower prices. I've said him before but Fabian Schar had a fantastic season for Newcastle. He cost 3m from Deportivo La Coruna who'd just been relegated. I think we'll get in Mings eventually and also sign a foreign CB, we need some top level experience in that area of the pitch desperately so wouldn't rule want to see all our CB options just being championship players. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Championship prices are extremely, and we are one of the clubs who caused that. McCormack, Hogan and Kodj were what £32m between them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus that he was the star player in the England U21 and showed in the FA-cup semi final against Liverpool that he has potential to be top Premier League class. He is also an attacking player, which often goes for more money than CB:s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
