When Romano mentioned that they may be getting another player from us instead of Duran, some of them were commenting that they thought it could be Watkins, Emi, JJ or Rogers etc At the end of the day JJ is far and away our most valuable Academy product and if I had to choose between losing him and others, they can go. Exactly. People on here moaning about losing Tim, Omari and whoever else we end up selling from the academy.. the other option is to sell Ramsey. Which would you prefer? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villarule123 Posted June 22 VT Supporter Share Posted June 22 Newcastle are about to sign DCL from Everton. I fully expect Everton to sign Wilson back in return for the same amount they get for DCL. Both struggling with PSR. #gamesgone 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm gutted about Kellyman tbh but I'm sure there is a wider plan. We’ve given Emery the keys to the club don’t forget, this is the price we pay. He’s building a team for the here and now, not waiting about for 3 or 4 years until these players come good. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had a handful of cup appearances and was sold for £25m Wasn't that on the back of a good loan spell somewhere though? So more comparable to the Archer sale.

Signing proven players like Maatsen, Gallagher, Onana and to a lesser extent Iling Junior and Barrenechea shows we’re going all out to build a young squad rather than trying to do what Gerrard did by buying Digne, Carlos, Coutinho etc. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just for the here and now tbf, most or all players rumoured to come in this summer are young. The manager only signing for the here and now was Gerrard, who couldn’t get enough of expensive 29 year olds on high wages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digne and Carlos have been useful players, but they are very expensive deprecating assets that’s a struggle to move on. Worst of all, Coutinho wasn’t even usable. Not exactly ideal situation to have players like these for a “growing club” Edited June 22 by CarryOnVilla 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spend big on 20-25yr olds rather than 28-30yr olds. The occasional Barkley style transfer for peanuts only compliments things. Love what we’re doing. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if it does mean the every now and then we have to let a good prospect go because we don't have room for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
