Both are improvements in areas of weakness and both look as though they will strengthen us in both meanings of the word. Hopefully we will lose that soft underbelly. Welcome Diego. The future is bright! I might be wrong here but the window isn't even officially open yet, we can't transfer player rights until the 1st of June or July so these are pre contracts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bannedfromHandV Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 It seems a lot of money for someone close to their thirties and with no PL experience. I know PL experience isn’t the be all and end all but it’s been evident for some time that the rigours of English football far outweigh any other league.

Delphinho123 Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 Sevilla fans are gutted he’s leaving. They reckon he’s their best centre half. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For all the fear of Newcastle, is there anything they can do that we can’t within the parameters of FFP? I am honestly not that worried about Newcastle as I believe NSWE are just as ambitions, if not more. There is room for both Newcastle and Villa to thrive.

For all the fear of Newcastle, is there anything they can do that we can’t within the parameters of FFP? they haven't spent much the past few years. Their FFP allowance was £400m in January because of how little Mike Ashley spent. Ours was nowhere near that. They have a huge ability to spend within FFP and also the actual cash backers to make it happen. Our team have done the right thing by going early. It's going to get messy at the end of the window with Newcastle, Chelsea and Man U competing and throwing cash around. Really impressed with our team. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeh I did consider him but tbf he is one the best Brazilian defenders of all time. I was thinking Luiz, Gabriel, the guy at Real, the guy at Southampton, Nutters all of them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

delboy54 Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 Remember we have to factor in the new rule of up to 5 subs allowed next season so we have to have depth in the squad if we are to push on 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Webster was around the same for Brighton I think Yeah realistically these days £26m even if you only get two seasons' decent service out of a player in the PL isn't bad value. I don't know what kind of wage or length of contract he is on though and that's what might trip teams up but the board know what they are doing and what they feel they can afford.

Be a right gaff if it didn't happen due to contract terms having announced on our website. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
