I think the reason clubs moaned was that they didn't have time to replace players that were sold, but that argument doesn't make sense as it is the same for whatever date the window is going to slam shut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No agenda, just thought I’d have a gander at the other teams CM offerings. Granted Almiron is more of a LM/Winger and a few of the CDM offerings but it’s only one or two on each of the teams lists (I think i did say I hadn’t included Barnes). The youngsters were included as I would have included Chuk in our list originally. Soucek I thought was more of a CM with Rice the CDM? Anyways, I think we need a couple more (IMHO), you don’t, it’s all gravy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CVByrne Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 I have a feeling January window will be a bit more active than usual this year because of the WC. Lots of players are focused on game time and being settled in the run up to it. So some players will not be keen on moves until after it. While we have a small amount of PL games between window shutting and reopening. We've made 4 signings in Jan this year. Sanson came in during peak Covid and we had 4 come in the season before. We are quite active in that window so if we can get a few more players sold this window we are in good shape Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your aim is challenging for 10th place then sure but much higher in the league I don’t think we are, we are short for something like 7th place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This window is also impact a little more as the season is starting that bit early due to the WC It was March for as long as I remember it pre Premier League and in the early years of that league. And I wouldn't be against a return to that, TBH. A club may think they have done reasonable business and possess decent squad balance up until the end of Aug. But a long term injury to a key player soon changes that. Clubs can be more circumspect; only signing players if really needed if the deadline is pushed out until March. Rather than the stockpilling that goes on at the minute. It would prob mean the end for shouty Jim White and all those clearings in the woods on SSN as well. No bad thing at all.

villabromsgrove Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 I think the fact that teams get to play several games before the window closes is a big plus for Villa this season. SG used the word "bloated" when he talked about our squad, and it may well be that a number of clubs will be panicked into buying or loaning some of our excess players by experiencing worrying performances and results before September 1st. If we can shift two or three well paid players off the wage bill in the next four weeks that will conclude a very good transfer window for AV.
