Not sure if Championship teams could take his wages, or if he would want to drop down either. I could see him at a mid or bottom half French side or back to a secondary European league like Belgium, Netherlands or Turkey, but those clubs have no money hence why he’s probably still here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feels like they’re Championship level, the usual problem is that their wages may not be. This one has Turkey written all over it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teams get desperate so who knows! PL experience and all that. We brought Chambers or example, on a free but can’t imagine would be much and relegation candidate sides or teams with no money look at somebody like Nakamba as cheap both fee and wages, PL experience and available. Yes he’ll probably go abroad but wouldn’t surprise me if he did end up at a desperate PL team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCJonah Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 I made a post last week saying people should relax. I'm starting to feel a hypocrite. I still think we'll sign at least 1 more but I did kind of expect something a bit more concrete by now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 I'd rather go with what we have instead of overpaying but obviously would prefer 1 or 2 signings. We'll get one I'm about 90% confident of. I just loathe the kind of money blown on the likes of Digne and Coutinho it just hampers us in the long run. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MachoFantastico Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Honestly think we're going to wait till the summer. We might see one new addition but that's about it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post useless Posted January 25, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 25, 2023 Laid back Emery plays it cool in the transfer market, the Spaniard who's made a succesful start to his Villa reign taking sixteen points from a possible twenty-one, wants to add reinforcements to his Villa squad but is no mood to stockpile players for the sake of it, players will only be added if they're better than what he already has or if they offer his team a different dimension. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WallisFrizz Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Yep, the rumours have really dried up. There might be a surprise or some late activity but we could have missed out on those we wanted and be sticking to plan to wait until summer. Bit underwhelming but I do actually trust them to do the right thing this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d be a free transfer as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then, when the transfer window comes around, VT could serve as the transfer committee. **** that i'm not being told i'm panic buying just cause i submitted a bid on the 24th jan! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superb post. Bloke has loan with us paying a chunk of his wages written all over him. If he has settled in the country, he’d do a good job for a good championship side. Otherwise, he’ll be linked to a club in Qatar, but end up signing for loan for one of those clubs in Turkey that aren’t Besiktas, Fener or Galatasaray. He’ll do okay for a season, we’ll release him from his contract and he’ll sign with them permanently. Move to ‘other football’.

Similarly, I have PTSD related to the 18M+ we paid for Traore when we could have gotten him for much, much cheaper. Lyon were desperate to move him. Seems everyone but Villa knew it. Part of the reason I am skeptical about Lange and shudder when our fans think 10M for Dembele or 50M for Luiz Henrique is a good deal. It's monopoly money to some, I guess.

useless Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Six days of the transfer window to go, so if we're to get Emery's three wished for positions, midfielder, winger, and striker, then from now on either every day is going to have to be a new signing day or new signing eve, or we will have days when we sign more than one player. Players to leave as well, and others to go on loan, so in theory should be a busy week coming up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
