I don't think Maupay will leave, the others however......

are all lower division players with potential. I think we're after experience?

Webster isn't.

And i'm asking why you think it indicates that. It's kind of how a debate works dude  :P

Because I don't think they'll be looking to bring in any more than one player in each position.  The consensus seems to be that they weren't planning on doing anything, but now that they have to, I think it'll be three or four players max, with no more than one in each position.

They were our 4 supposed 1st choice targets in the summer.  However, we ended up with cheaper alternatives (maybe Maupay was about the same as Wesley).

Forgive my ignorance but why the anti drinkwater sentiment? Seemed like just a meh signing but seems to have stirred things up. Is there off the pitch stuff that’s passed me by?

Likes a night out apparently, and was out for weeks after he got a good hiding in a night club trying to chat up somebody else's girlfriend.

Standard drink driving conviction aswell recently. Definitely a guy keen to get his career back on track...

Saw him recently v Man City. Granted he was up against very good players but he was laughably off the pace.

The Guardian are saying that the Werder Bremen winger, Milot Rashica, is a Villa target ... no idea what he's like or if he's even gettable

No idea either but I can’t imagine we’ve got 35 million to spend.

5 year deal at 65k per week and you're looking at £10m on the book for the year. Doable.

He is bloody good...but not for us at the moment. Summer if we survive, but i imagine hes attracting the attention of quite a few, so even then it may be a big ask.

I like the sound of him. Get him in, ta.

Him, along with Cavani and Bale on loans till the end of the season and we only need maybe a couple more.

Rashica is fucking rapid and technically good, end product is hit and miss. Reminds me of Dan James. They  want £35m though so I doubt he'll be joining us.

I've been watching Brexit debates and I think foreigners like to ask for a lot of money but we are under no obligation to pay. They need us more than we need them.

Offer them £3 million and tell them if they don't take it we will stop buying German cars.

That'll show Fritz who's boss.

That sounds like the Daniel Levy approach. Lansbury plus £3m should do it.
