gwi1890 Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 2 hours ago, allani said: Agreed. It feels like any signing would be a bonus rather than a necessity. We could use a couple of extra options from the bench (who might in turn stake a claim for a starting spot) but a couple of players returning from injury / hitting form might give us those options anyway. More to the point - if we don't sign anyone I will believe it is because (a) the manager is relatively happy with the players available and (b) the recruitment team thoroughly assessed the options available and concluded that better business could be done in the summer. It is so refreshing to believe that we have a really competent recuitment team making considered decisions that are fully aligned with our coaches and manager. Yes we’re already planning 2-3 years ahed now and not reacting to situations, we are happy to spend on a ready made player like we did with Pau & Diaby in the summer but also clever enough to wait for potential bargains like Tielemans and the rumours that we are in talks with Hermoso it’s just sensible business all round. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

romavillan Posted January 18 VT Supporter Share Posted January 18 Hopefully we get everyone fit and on form for another good run, looks like it's down to who we can ship out before we can sign. Which will all be very last minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 (edited) 3 hours ago, JAMAICAN-VILLAN said: Perhaps, but we are always a couple of injuries, suspensions and fixtures away from " 5th choice " becoming second or third choice. Would you rather Dendonker or Gallagher coming on? Gallagher starting in the Conference, Cup, or Dendonker etc? ( I don't actually dislike Dendonker either, just as example ). From the players perspective, it probably wouldn't make much sense though Agreed, he wouldn't join us unless he was a starter and he may well prefer to join another London club in any case. 2 hours ago, Jas10 said: As has been said, it's Total Villa, but I love the idea of a player turning them down for us. He obviously wants European football, to win things and to be part of UE's project. If that's the case, I hope he gets his wish.

PieFacE Posted January 18 VT Supporter Share Posted January 18 (edited) From a few days ago, not sure if posted here but: https://twitter.com/NYCFCSOURCE/status/1746631183813722472 Apparently we're trying to sign Jovan Mijatovic, who is also wanted by the Man City group or whatever they're called. But could be getting confused with the RB we've signed, dunno. Edited January 18 by PieFacE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
