TRO Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 1 hour ago, JAMAICAN-VILLAN said: As @TRO alluded to yesterday, it's about getting the best players you can, at the best price possible, not just chucking money around carelessly. Just seen that Newcastle are in for Sandro Tonali at 45 mill. Mental. They really are doing business the right way. I think its huge transfer fees going wrong, along with poor results, that primarily unseat managers and Dof's We don't want to see our manager or DOF put themselves under that extreme pressure, that lead to them leaving.....We value them. I think we are going about things the right way.....I think there will be a couple of biggies, but that's all. There is some pretty good low hanging fruit to be had and when you are financially sound like us, we can move at our own pace. I would be surprised if we just have one or two prime targets......I think we will have several and will watch and wait to see what clubs want/ have to cash in.....we have to be like poker players. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd add that aside from PSG and Arsenal, Emery usually operates on more low key signings, players undervalued at other clubs who he can increase their output. Like you said, we'll probably have one or 2 big signings, but the rest will be signings that would be considered "underwhelming" 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have never really been a big signing club, and when you track back over the years and see some of the talent, we have picked up for next to nothing, it makes you think. We have a manager, who can turn sows ear, in to a silk purse, slight exaggeration, but he is capable of turning players around, we have to trust him.

maqroll Posted June 21, 2023 Author Share Posted June 21, 2023 I expect pragmatism from Emery, but he's also been quoted as saying "We aren't going to waste time", so I'm not entirely sure what to expect this summer. Pragmatic signings in Moreno and Tielmanns. But maybe massive cash outlays/bigger risks on other players? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest I think some of the groundwork has been laid already before we appointed Monchi, I’d imagine between Unai, Lange and Vidagany would have their targets they want and have started speaking with clubs/agents already. I think Monchi would come into assist with the list we already have and will probably say yay or nay to some of the players on that list, whilst suggesting his own players from July 1st. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's underhanded and it's gaming the system, despite it's claimed "legality". I'd want Aston Villa to be above it.
