We missed out on a bang average striker that’s not going to improve the team or himself We clearly aren't bringing in a bigger name if we miss out on him. So I'd worry we'd bring in worse. If we could attract and afford much better than wilson then we would. But clearly this is the level we are shopping in. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder who we are looking at. What would you class as "concrete" when it comes to links though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are not Everton or Newcastle throwing good money on “big names” that don’t much to improve them. I like to believe villa are being smarter now. Getting in players before they’re big names. Like Cash, if things go well, he could be a big name right back, in the England mix. Villa is the place to grow big Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awol Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 I know we haven’t been linked to Benrahma again so far this window, but below tweet from a West Ham ITK account suggests Brentford will be after big bucks for him. Looking at Watkins so far, I reckon it’s £30M+ for Benny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame if none come off and instead it's Wilson, Watkins Cash. Think they'll do okay but we could be more ambitious. Maybe they're all unrealistic for where we are at now.

Probably, they’re a flipper club after all, buy cheep>develop>sell for profit. I say this is the window they will get the most for Said. So they trying a high rate before they drop near the end of the window Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyjavfc Posted September 4, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted September 4, 2020 Benrahma has been left out their pre-season friendlies so I would say it is very likely they are looking to move him on. There is seemingly plenty of interest in him though so it's not in their interest to sell quickly or cheap. Can see that transfer doing the distance and dragging out till the last day.

It could become realistic for where we also want to be. If they share the same vision as we do then you never know what could happen then. Some players like a new challenge and share the same vision as we do, We've just got to find them and sign them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see you read that on the Birmingham fail and actually believed it. Notice I said "signed" which is the factual part.

We’d have quality cover for Luiz and competition for Nakamba in Sangare, and a starting option in Santamaria. Cheap too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
