Rabiot is an interesting one as I think he's out of contract this summer. But he's been a regular starter of Juve and not sure he would take a rotational spot here. Zielinski from Napoli as well. Thiago is another intriguing one though is legs are far gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out since august with a ligament injury. Bench replacement for Watkins, should be happy competing for something with limited minutes given his age. Started the Conference Final West Ham won last year. * Dele Alli (27, Everton). He's probably an ex-player at this point. But Unai might be able to revive him. * Thiago Alcantara (32, Liverpool). Undeniable quality, injury concerns have greatly shortened his playing time at Anfield. If he doesn't renew, could be an option when Kamara is unavailable. * Fabian Schar (32, Newcastle). Probably NC's most consistent defender and the only one seemingly immune to injury woes, he's played every game for them in the PL this season. * Ivan Perisic (34, Tottenham). One of my faves players from Inter, dude was massive quality during his prime. Champion League winner with Bayern, could bring savvy veteranship and bench option. You aren’t going to get many people agreeing with you especially the first few. Prepare yourself for the responses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who has the better end of that deal? They've probably both done well out of it but that's what I mean you can sign players from those clubs and strengthen yourself but there's every danger we won't close the gap between us and them so ultimately is it worth it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prepare yourself for the responses *Puts on tin hat* They should be cheap or they shouldn't be at all, I don't see anything wrong with rolling the dice with those. Very low risk, moderate reward.

Hermoso at atletico Guido Rodriguez at betis Toni kroos - as a side they're trying to talk him out of international retirement Modric Klostermann Reus is probably finished at dortmund if they keep the current coach Kamada has cooled off a bit, last summer was his chance for a huge move Juan miranda or spinazzola should we makes changes at LB Alex meret but I think he's too good to be back up, casteels too Gabriel Barbosa would be interesting but he failed in Europe before Barco would get the gamers going (myself included) and should get a big move - he's the one to watch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or Both? =P my opinion, for what its worth, is: Antonio - good for Spam at times, but he's old and isnt even in their starting 11, giving a 3/4 year contract to a 32 year old, dont like the idea tbh, stinks of the Ings transfer. Alli - absolute busted flush, i wouldnt touch him with someone elses barge pole, anyone who takes him on needs their head looking at. Alacantra - he is a very good player, but his wages would be astronomical and is he also getting past his best physically?, i seem to recall him having lots of injuries at Liverpool which hampered him a lot. Schar - Would just prefer us to sign a potential type central defender, we have Pau, Konsa, Carlos and eventually Mings in the summer, i dont think we need any old heads in the central defensive areas just for cover, we need quality if we are going to upgrade in that area, tbh, we need a RB first and foremost, so Konsa can go to CB more, not an old CB so Konsa can be RB more. Perisic - was a good player, might still be, but 34, min 2 year contract?, no thanks. honestly, if ther best Monchi can do is announce Antonio, Alli ans Schar, i would immediately ask him for his resignation if i were Villa Edited January 4 by MaVilla 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delphinho123 Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Has apparently been very good for Lazio this year. I’d normally not believe a link like this but the fact that he’s free, it’s come from that reporter and most importantly, he’s a left footer right sided attacker, it’s definitely true. Classic Delphinho banter aside for a sec, I know he had his problems at West Ham, but we might be playing 55-60 games next year so we’ll need depth. On a free, it allows us to rotate Diaby and Bailey as the most advanced attacker behind Watkins. I strongly suspect the club will send Zaniolo back because there is no way this signing happens if he stays. We’d have too many players, all of a similar style fighting over 1/2 positions. Oh, and he’s Brazilian. We loves ourselves a South American. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 3 hours ago, Aston_Villan4 said: How about Serhou Guirassy from Stuttgart? 17 goals and 1 assist in 14 games. £15 million release clause and of course all the big boys are after him. Mainly a striker but has played some left wing according to Transfermarkt. Unai said we arent interested in a striker which Guirassy is thriving as Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maqroll Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 There's a young South African striker who has been scouted by a number of Dutch sides who we could probably get for dirt cheap. Luke "Sky" Walker from Moss Eisley F.C. One for the future, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
