messi11 Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 I was never sold on Hickey. Would of been a waste of money. He very lightweight and raw. We have plenty of decent-good players like him in our u21 squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
messi11 Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 Just because Alan Nixon, The Sun, Football Insider and the rest of the media aren't linking us to players doesn't mean Lange and co arent working on deals behind closed doors. Look at the Ings deal, Announced in mostly secret fashion. Patience Villa fans. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarryOnVilla Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 Twitter is in a flurry about who is the “low ranked premiership team” bidding for Memphis Depay.

Ings was very much the exception though -the vast majority of transfers we get wind of before they happen. If a deal for incoming player was close we'd most likely have heard about it by now.

There wasn't much talk of Diego Carlos until we actually agreed the deal. Ings isn't a great example as just seems we did that on a whim post Grealish to appease fanbase without little idea how he'd fit into the team structure and that was evident for most of the season. Hopefully whichever CM we're looking at we've been keeping tabs on long term rather than they've just been offered to us by an agent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 £14m + add ons for Hickey. tbh if you could between Brentford as 1st choice and back up at Villa you'd choose Brentford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kamara wasn't expected. We all thought he would turn us down Carlos was done so fast their wasn't much talk for weeks and weeks, it just come from nowhere. I expect another to come from nowhere and actually be legit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kamara had been touted for a good while -albeit it was a pleasant surprise when he chose villa given the other clubs interested. Doesn't really matter how they arrive so long as they are on board by Aug 31. It's gets harder now though -as we have some damm fine players as it stands - so bringing in superior players isn't that easy. We've got enough quality on board to be competitive in the PL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 Kamara had been linked since the 3 of them got pictured at a game in April (?) Messi11 is right in general though, we are a tight ship, Ings was a special case because of just how secret it was but there's been plenty of quiet ones and ones done with seemingly one or two days notice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Messi11 is right in general though, we are a tight ship, Ings was a special case because of just how secret it was but there's been plenty of quiet ones and ones done with seemingly one or two days notice You have to give the club credit. We had a shortlist of 3 players. Bissouma, Phillips and Kamara. If we failed to get one of them we were in a bad place as it was the most critical signing of the summer. To beat out Atletico to get Kamara on a free transfer is superb work. If given the option of Bissouma for 25m+ add-on or Kamara I'd probably have preferred Kamara. Phillips would have been my preferred signing at £45m. Still, well done to the club for nailing the Kamara and Carlos deals so early. Seville needed to sell a player before 30th June. Same with getting Coutinho for £17m, brilliant work. I really don't see what people are complaining about. Small bits of astute business like signing Chambers a player who can play multiple positions and is very experienced Premier League player with international caps and two seasons of CL football. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HalfTimePost Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 The media reluctantly linked Kamara to us after Gerrard, Purslow and Lange were pictured watching him. The links were mostly still leading with Atleti or AC Milan links. Most of the media tried to say we were more interested in Caleta-Car. There was bound to be links after the pictures - but nobody even took a punt on saying we were confident of getting him until maybe a couple days before hand. It's mad really. Had that been Howe or Ten Hag pictured watching him, media would've been lit up with Newcastle or United sealing huge talent and stealing him away from Madrid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
