useless Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 2 minutes ago, useless said: I wonder if people are slighty overrating Zakaria, I've seen him play, think he's a very good player, and would be happy for us to sign him, but I'm not sure he's so good that all the top sides in Europe will want him, I think he'd more likely end up at a club like ours or one on a similar level such as Leicester, Wolves, Everton, or West Ham, possibly the next level up such as Arsenal or Spurs, if bigger teams than the aforementioned go for him I think it will be more due to the reduced tranfer fee than anything else, Man Utd might make sense as they seem weak in midfield. Having watched them both play I think Bissouma is more suited to what we need in that central holding role. Like I'm not sure he (Zakaria) is any more of an unrealistic signing than Bissouma would be, or Digne for that matter, or to put it another way him going to one of the superpowers is a possibility but he's not so good that it's a certainty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can blow other clubs away with deals for Coutihno and Digne I'd say we can confidently go in for any player now apart from the super elite. We CAN sign either Zakaria or Bissouma, it cannot just be laughed off anymore because it's Villa, that there's no chance, because there IS now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never for a second believed we could sign Coutinho or Digne. Never mind both! Edited January 12, 2022 by Vive_La_Villa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Obvously if one of he major clubs go for him we have little chance if any at all, my point is that I don't think it's guaranteed that one of the major clubs will go for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does show the gulf in finances between a couple of teams and the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The real reason ffp was brought in, fewer and fewer clubs are winning trophies and it will only get worse, next stage is 5 subs, then 9 and squads sizes increased to 36, then all the best players will be at 8 clubs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Griffin Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 From Sky... Quote Sky in Germany are reporting Borussia Dortmund and Derby County are interested in signing Manchester United winger Amad Diallo on loan. Such a tough decision for the lad. I wonder which team he will choose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If/when it happens we have to be part of it because in theory the domestic leagues will go into decline. Signing better players now could make us successful enough that we have a voice in the obvious behin closed doors shenanigans that are going on. NWSE will want to kick the door down and invite themselves to the party. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got no time for any club or fans who would want to join this circus. We helped form the league, would be disgusted if we were part of the clubs that would be happy to dismantle it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blame Charles Ponzi. We're involved in something that is unstoppable, we have to decide where in the Ponzi scheme we want to be, if we are on the bottom layer we will cease to exist.
