The guy is essentially 32 years old He's also just won a World Cup with Emi and played an important part in that. Sevilla won't have planned to sell him, so that is probably a fair enough price that could persuade them to change their mind. If UE wants him that is good enough for me. If he gives us 2 or 3 good years, that will likely look a bargain imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBlack Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 26 minutes ago, rubberman said: Except that they can offload them to PIF for no loss, negating any risk. This is the key thing... even if their signings fail, they know their investors will want to see them succeed. Say Mudryk continues to be rubbish... Saudi PIF will buy him for above market value to send to one of their 5 clubs that they own in the Saudi league. It's a farce and the sooner the FA find a way to close the loop hole the better. I'd welcome them to ban it even before we sell Digne to them tbh. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won't be a "big name" signing or someone we'll break the transfer record for. Will likely be a more experienced forward, someone in late 20/early 30s. Someone with a bit of experience that Emery trusts. Someone like Ings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looks average whenever I've seen him (have a mate who's a big forest fan so see more of them than the average). Just checked his fbref stats vs wingers and they seem to back up my eyes that he doesn't actually do much. He looked good in the champ, and he's young, but so far in the PL I remain to be convinced about him having what it takes to succeed at this level.

I think he looked great last year though, in a fairly rubbish Notts side… he’s a quick runner, accurate passer with an eye for goal. He’s still young but I watched quite a bit of him last year and I think he’s excellent. Maybe he’s a bit of a Grealish where the more you watch him the more you see?

I'm possibly being overly harsh on him when i consider his age. My mate is always overly raving about him too, but then he's a Forest fan and they've had even less than villa to celebrate during his life so maybe not a surprise he will jump on their first sign of something good. Johnson was a big part of their return to the top flight so they love him. I just don't share it... Let's see if the former-ITK twitter guy is right. And if he is, hopefully you are too, and Emery gets everything possible out of him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UEFA have closed that 'loophole', ironically they've unintentionally dodged that bullet for now by managing to not qualify for Europe. But they still have the Prem's FFP to deal with, and he believes they're failing that even with their 'loophole'. I reckon they're failing deliberately with the expectation that signing a bunch of talented U23s on huge contracts will reap more rewards than whatever punishment ends up getting dished out. It's a.. bold strategy. Definitely not one Villa should look to emulate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
