With one exception that is Ornstein who is reporting it as £35m + £7m add-ons. Who to believe? Ornstein, it fits my narrative and he's actually very reliable for English clubs transfer fees. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quality not quantity - Unai has been talking in a press conference today, would be nice to get some footage… Also it's like yeah we aren't going to be chasing after players for ridiculous fees. Like we are happy to move on or not sign anyone, so give us doku at 20 million please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ll see at least one more high level player come in who can play across the front line. I think that we will wait and see on João Félix towards the end of the window, it feels like that will be what goes for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite a traditional 10 but in a role where he had minimal defensive responsibilities and being the primary creator was his real role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back up keeper..... It would be nice if they could get in another high quality forward. I am keen for them to offload half a dozen players from the wage bill to bring some balance to the finances. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently we can cover the following postions with what we have Striker Ollie Cam Duran Diaby Left Wing JJ Diaby Bailey AJ Jaden Coutinho Right wing Diaby Bailey McGinn Jaden AJ No 10 Buendia Tielemans Coutho McGinn Jaden AJ I agree i would like another high quality player up front. BUT we are stronger there than i realised, albeit with lots of players with potential. Jaden and AJ aren’t get anywhere near the first team come the start of the season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
479Villan Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 A Top 7 side has upgraded each of its 3 lines in the transfer window, with 3 signings. It did not upgrade at keeper because it has the best keeper in the world per FIFA. Folks, that’s Aston Villa in 2023. We live in extraordinary times.

useless Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 (edited) I don't think Emery's words change much, we will still add a few more, just need to sell a few first, likes of Wesley, Davis, Traore, Sanson, and potentially others will leave, then we will have room to add some more if needed.

viivvaa66 Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 38 minutes ago, Don_Simon said: Says "viivvaa66", or the board? I think is more the facts than anything else: Torres: Is on £100,000 per week, Barcelona payed about £50mill for him, reported willing to sell for around £35mill Felix: Is on £250,000 per week, Atlético Madrid payed about £110 mill for him, reported it would cost £20mill to loan him for a season, to buy about £70mill Looking at those number, it means we should be able to afford Torres if we really want him. Felix is more likely to sign for us than Mbappé, but that is the only positive I can think of when it comes to signing Felix. Yes, things can change, Felix could agree to half his salary and Atletico Madrid could half their asking price, but not very likely. If that happened, I would expect more clubs to be interested, meaning we would lose out anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
