He isn't an upgrade on Traore so signing him would be stupid Isn't it interesting how the things we chose to say publicly can inspire others to hold a very different view from the one we have just so powerfully expressed? And it's often not even the substance of what we are saying which generates the response, but rather how we are saying it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WallisFrizz Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Arsenal don’t seem to be pursuing Odegaard which would suggest that Buendia is now their first choice in that position. We’ll struggle with this one I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 It was always unlikely we could get him with Arsenal also interested. They will be able to offer more money, to live in London and with a better chance of consistent European football. Only small chance we have is Martinez being with us and Jack being here. If there is a proposal that might interest him if owners can convince of continued investment. Bit still Arsenal will be able to outspend us regardless due to significantly higher revenues they have. I'd say we've a 20% chance to get him now. Maybe a little less. Pereira would be my choice over McNeil as target if Buendia goes to Arsenal.

villalad21 Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Arsenal got that London pull as well. Unless they lose the bidding war I can't see us getting him unfortunately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awol Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Yes it’s a big ask for him to choose us over Arsenal, but if he does it’s a pretty big deal for Villa. A player approaching his prime chinning-off Arsenal for B6 would make waves in football beyond the player himself. It would also probably be a year or two earlier than our management team might reasonably have expected, representing real progress... and TalkSport will be saltier than the Dead Sea.

Apart from us needing great players to progress, football in general needs the above. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Arsenal get him - back in your box Villa Villa get him - RIP Arsenal They have more to lose on this signature, I hope they don't screw it up like by taking forever, selling players first, and umming and ahhing that he's first choice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post DaveAV1 Posted June 4, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 4, 2021 This London pull is over exaggerated in my opinion. I’m not saying it doesn’t exist but not all players will be drawn to it. Also if they’re that bothered it’s only 90 minutes by train. To be honest I’d be concerned about a player who chose his social life over his career. I know they’re young blokes but if they can’t put their highly paid job above running round the town for a few years then they’re probably not for us. The choice isn’t London’s bright lights or a bare room in a monastery eating gruel and drinking mineral water. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will be the narrative with fans (even theirs), the media will be bemused, and other players will notice. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sulberto21 Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 (edited) A while back in this very scenario a player chose arsenal over us. Arsenal became consistent winners and challengers for trophies. I feel that this is a potentially earth shattering moment in football. Beating one of the scummy Sky 6 to a signature of a player who can take us up a level is not to be underestimated. It takes just 1. That player btw was Dennis bergkamp. Edited June 4, 2021 by Sulberto21 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could well be a watershed moment tbf - I honestly think that Martinez could be pivotal here, given his experience at Arsenal and how he's gone from strength to strength after he left. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
