A little out of reach perhaps. I actually like Sancho, believe there still is a great player there. Him being paid £350k per week could be an issue tho. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players to leave as well, and others to go on loan, so in theory should be a busy week coming up. Didn’t we sign Bednarek and Donk on deadline day? Maybe we can have similar luck again. Who are the current bench warmers at the relegation sides? Edited January 25, 2023 by VillaParkAvenue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burchy Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 I’ve got fingers and toes crossed for us to get PSVs Bakayoko. Not just for his ability but so we can have a chant to a Four Tops classic You’ll go loco for Johan Bakayoko, if you watch him too long. Yes you’ll be going loco for Johan Bakayoko, his wing magic is so strong. Screw our recruitment model, let’s sign players just based on their chant potential 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s the opportunity cost. For every player we overpay for, we have less money to spend on someone else. For every player who doesn’t work out, we have years of wages to keep paying so wage bill increases and can’t bring someone else in. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MachoFantastico Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 I imagine the club is being just careful financially, don't want to fall for the usual January desperation. I understand fans frustration, when many clubs are being careful on how they spend their money, you've got sides like Chelsea spending money like it grows on trees. Fans just have to be patient. Summer is our focus in my opinion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Summer is our focus in my opinion. Indeed - if we manage to clear out some of our surplus to requirements players to more desperate teams in Jan and get better value in the summer then it's no bad thing. Still feels like we're a player or two light for now, but if the team can continue to improve between now and the end of the season (not expecting fireworks, more steady evolution), then that's a great result Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be a player, only one that makes sense to me is AWB That makes no sense to me at all… Unai’s whole game is built on passing it around at the back and AWB is probably the worst defender in the league with the ball at his feet.

I agree to a point, but I think the fan base possibly under estimates the wealth behind our current setup. They can certainly afford to throw good money after bad if they believe it will bring us a champions league level squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So guendozzi or Hernandez would be really good signings. 12 hours ago, turvontour said: I agree with the first part, but we very much can achieve by getting in and around europa places this season. I get what you’re saying but if it requires inflated prices and wages then better to wait. If we can get the right deal then great but we aren’t as desperate as some seem to think.
