MaVilla Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 (edited) looks like Manure/Leicester have agreed an 80m+ deal for Maguire. what a laugh, 80m+?, is he even half that good?, Leicester will be laughing all the way to the bank, Van Dijk....a rolls royce defender cost 75m and Manure go and pay 80m+ for maguire......rofl. I am going to be interested to see how he does, because i have a funny feeling he is going to get exposed. I feel for Axel also, he's going to be sidelined on the subs bench or loaned out again......to Bruce maybe?, unlucky, he should have pushed for a move to us Edited August 2, 2019 by MaVilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good cb for for top 6 teams. Maguire is no Van Dijk/Kompany/Ferdinand. He is not on that level, but he will for sure strengthen them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dont_do_it_doug. Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 (edited) I really like Maguire, I think he has all the assets to be a top class centre half. He hasn't *quite* hit that yet, but then in all fairness neither had Van Dijk at 26. Do I think he has the ability to be as good as Van Dijk? Maybe. Will United get that out of him? Probably not.

Pretty sure the owner also previously said in this window it'd take €60m+ Yet, Nakamba and Wesley both left Brugge - playing in this season's Champions League - for Villa. Money talks and the Premier League is where the money is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HalfTimePost Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Just feel like it's a bad move all round really. Another year at Leicester with that squad they are building and I think he'd make the most of his potential. I think Spurs or maybe Chelsea would've been ideal for him next year. It's is a poisoned chalice for big signings at the minute going to Utd. Sanchez and Lukaku are not bad players, both have the (very proven) capacity to tear this league apart but look like donkeys there. Hopefully different for Maguire but it's difficult to see him being the player they want him to be (the English VVD). And if/when he's not it's a lot of pressure to be under. Hopefully (for England) he does well there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villarocker Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Zapata seems like a goal machine after last season but I cannot see Villa spending something like £30m on a 28 year old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villarocker Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 I was talking with my brother's stepson yesterday. His mother is Italian so he subscribes to watch all the Serie A games and he reckons that Bellotti is a great player. If you look at all the top strikers across the best leagues of Europe, he seems the player most likely to fit the profile we're currently working on. Does anyone know of him being linked elsewhere?

alreadyexists Posted August 2, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted August 2, 2019 2 hours ago, MaVilla said: i would say we have "gone for the best quality we can, considering the quantity we needed to buy". very happy with the transfer window so far tbh, thinking what Bruce would have spent 130m on gives me the heebee jeebies, at least we can see what DS and the recruitment team are trying to do, its quite clear we are trying to buy the right type of players to suit how we want to play etc, with the wrong manager this transfer window could have been.......an experience. a Bruce team might have been: Nyland, Taylor, Cahill, Chester, Elmo, Grealish, McGinn, Whelan, Sturridge, Wellbeck, Austin. Subs: Jedinak, Carroll, Puncheon, Kalinic, Adomah, Kodjia, Hourihane. Sturridge, Wellbeck, Austin, Carroll, Puncheon, Cahill all on 100k to 200k per week, 5 year contracts. might have also fancied Cattermole and a few others...... Mucho money saved for Kebabs on transfer fees. He’s gone and has been for well over 9 months, just let it go! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
