I’m not saying we’ll sign him, but I have a sneaky feeling that a bid will go in nearer the end of the window for him. Celtic are being forced to sell him due to COVID , they obviously want as much as they can get for him but as time goes on they will be forced to take a lower offer. (All in my opinion of course) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Miliojevic only on bench for Crystal Palace yesterday, not sure if he's carrying an injury or out of favour. Would be good pick up for DM position and I assume they'd let him go for 15m so that's one I'd target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rayk Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 1 hour ago, OutByEaster? said: In the case of Luiz though we risk losing the player for a lot less than his market value should City decide that's what they want to do. We have Luiz this season because City say so - if they chose otherwise, then yes, both teams would profit on the initial fee we paid, but the control, the decision making lies with City - I'm sure we're not satisfied with that. I think we'd be reluctant to take on another loan with buyback option because of that loss of control. Why not take another deal like that? Jack and Luiz were our best players in Restart and without Luiz we would have gone down given how close the margins were. So whatever we may lose should Man City trigger the release clause (and obviously it will increase materially after the window) we made a ton more just by staying up. Just like Sheff Utd got a massive gain on Having Henderson for the last two years. i mean put it this way who would you rather have had last season, Tammy on loan or the permanent signings of Wes and Samatta? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha no way, I live here and even the Aberdeen fans are happy to get rid. Villa stupidly offered £7million a few years ago under Bruce when McKenna's stock was high but he has not developed. Aberdeen turned it down as it was a panic buy from Bruce who left it late in the window and they couldn't source a replacement. Think Forest have agreed a fee for him though, I'd imagine £4million maximum. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delphinho123 Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Once Rashica is in, I imagine we’ll chill a bit and wait to see who becomes available for a fair price. It’s nice to be in a position where you’re reasonably happy with your business and aren’t held to hostage by the selling club. I’d like us to be targeting Rashica, Brewster, Henry and Hughes. Can’t imagine we’d have budget for all 4 but if we can shift a few and the selling clubs panic as the window comes to a close, who knows. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 I wouldn’t mind a couple of loan deals to bulk out the squad - a seasoned centre back and maybe another CM (unrealistically wishing for someone like Riqui Puig - available to loan off Barca!) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Curious with the lack of links to CBs bar that defender playing in Turkey which randomly pops up every three weeks seemingly. Engels seems missing in action again so dosen't strike me as a credible option to rely on so we're only really down to 3 CBs which is risky if Mings hamstring goes again as it did in December. Newcastle want to move Fabian Schar on. He was excellent for them under Benitez so surprised Bruce wants to get rid, they only signed him for 3m so I imagine they won't be asking for a stupid amount. Think that's the sort of signing that would improve the squad and arguably first 11. Only 28. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can remember end of that window also that French CB who came to Bodymoor to have a look around but decided against moving. Moved to Boro last January and was s***.
