Villa87 Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Spurs have a ridiculous number of midfielders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CVByrne Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Was always unlikely we could get Bissouma. Arsenal or Spurs were always going to et him and Brighton would be against selling to a team they see as a direct rival too. I'm glad we moved so strongly for Kamara and didn't put everything into Bissouma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rustibrooks Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 (edited) Oh well, it wasn't looking likely. We should've tied the deal up in Jan and we missed that boat. Also it could be that he just never fancied coming here, he would've known he'd have one of big 6 coming in for him. I just know people are going to completely wet the bed about this.

VillaFaninLondon Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 25m for Bissouma is great business. Think we might come to regret this one. Kamara definitely isn’t enough. We need another 100%. Conor Gallagher or Renata Sanches would be decent options for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don_Simon Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Also means Spurs will probably not be in for McGinn for stupid money, which is a shame as I think a change for Villa and McGinn may be beneficial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhan_Zhuang Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 We move on...I was of the opinion he'd never join us anyway. Something stinks about this guy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Gregg did say we had moved on from Bissouma. But he obviously knows nothing. He's said in his article today we've moved on from Suarez too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomav84 Posted June 14, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted June 14, 2022 i wonder whether certain legal issues caused us to move on, and why spurs have gotten such a seemingly good price from what i've seen, i think there's better out there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacketspuds Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Spurs struggle to go through a transfer window without signing either a RB, a CM, or both. Lets hope we haven’t moved on to Oxlade-Cumberland. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way Purslow says that if we were still interested, he's too smart to pee off a player if we wanted to sign him and a CEO saying that wouldnt go down well. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he has not been wrong when he's made definitive statements about things, like Grealish leaving if 100m is bid, or Villa no longer interested in Bissouma. He's said same about Suarez so we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's just as often wrong as he is right and not very credible given his history, he seems to know about as much as any of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pez1974 Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 We were definitely in for him - so either we're happy to only bring in 1 (and Kamara on a free was amazing business), or we were put off by either his preference for another club (wanting to be in London?) or, er, something else. The debate of whether we need a second is one for the fans - but we've spend money elsewhere and the pot isn't infinite. We might need to shift players first, so Spurs have got in before we can. Delighted with Kamara though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because we held an interest in McNeill and didn't sign him doesn't mean Gregg was wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarryOnVilla Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 (edited) It’s pretty clear the boy wanted CL football. no biggy, we find someone else. To be fair, Stevie probably didn’t fancy having his ass pinched, so he didn’t do the whole home visit thing Edited June 14, 2022 by CarryOnVilla 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
