Brighton could do a Leicester if Arsenal and Man city fall off 

No, I think they will comfortably stay up.

Brighton sold a lot so they can. Chelsea will get affected soon.

They probably won't though and by the time they had any transfer ban, they would have bought everyone already.

I’m still curious on whether we end up signing Hermoso… strange that he hasn’t moved all window when he’s available on a free. Got to be going somewhere, how long does he have to agree a deal?

He's probably got all of his offers in front of him now and seeing which club that he would actually want to play for, is offering him the most money/longest contract. He probably has Donk's agent...

[TheMightyVillans]

Crystal Palace have agreed a deal with Wolfsburg to buy Maxence Lacroix as a direct replacement for Joachim Andersen.

The fee for the 24-year-old is an initial £18m.

Unlikely carlos goes there now?

Carlos going and Geetruida coming in still leaves us really light at CB if anything happens to Konsa/Pau, I wonder if we will get rid of Donk/Enzo and try and get  CB or Hemmoso on a free?

Bogarde would step up, I'd imagine.

Clicks link "...according to report by Caught Offside..."

Cmon man this is click bait crap that goes along the lines of according to our sources Emery is open to signing player X, Y, or Z

This shit should be blacklisted 

‘Tenuous’ was the key word in that sentence.

[MaVilla]

so we need to get rid of The Donk on 90k p/w, and Diego Carlos on 100k p/w, preferably for actual money, before we can sign anyone?

good luck with that i guess.

I agree with him entirely.

Personally, I find it boring and tedious, I'm sure UE must too.

If Konsa or Pau got injured Geertruida would start in their place with Bogarde ready if needed. Mings will be back in October so we're talking 5 or 6 games and Kamara is CB cover too having played a lot as a CB for Marseille.

Because he isnt as good as him or his agents think he is worth. Will probably be picked up in October/November by a mid table team

[Daveburnside]

If Monchi ever leaves its a relief to know we've got so many experts ready, willing and able to step in.

If Illing-jnr & Enzo go on to have great seasons out on loan they either come back and we have better players for it- or  we get bids where we over double/triple what we paid without them kicking a ball for us then that’s incredible business for a Luiz and that must’ve been in Monchi & co thinking all along…  it’s win win 

And if they struggle? Its far from a win win situation

Lange is more to blame than Purslow for the likes of Carlos, Digne, Coutinho, Donk coming through the door.

There's backing the manager and there's killing your squad.

They come back better for that experience and a decision is made from there the best route forwards… 

[CarryOnVilla]

What the hell are we crying about?  Villa has come a million miles in such a short time.

I reckon we will sign Le Celso before the window slams shut

And if Watkins does his ACL I’m sure Ben Broggio will step up?

Why do people act like being a CB for a Premier League and Champions League club is easy? Bogarde is promising, but he’s

1) a kid

2) not even really a CB

I’d be onboard with this, at least as long as he comes with an experienced CB attached. Lo Celso is a fine player.
