Summer transfer, gossip, speculation and the usual butter ollocks thread

Oops. Wrong thread.

I’m glad we didn’t panic and methodically bought players. It would have been good to reinforce a couple of other areas. But bear in mind the window opens again in just over a couple of months so hopefully we can make it January and strengthen again if needed.

[OCD]

I wouldn't expect too much from the winter window tbh. Clubs don't tend to want to sell their better players so you end up paying top dollar.

Be great if we could tempt Borja Baston back.

Be great if we could tempt Borja Baston back.

... and give Ange a new 5-year contract as well, perhaps.

The dream window.

Five years might be a bit optimistic. Just read on twitter it was his 95th birthday yesterday. Unless there’s another Angela Lansbury I’m not aware of.

Noticed Tammy only got on in the 90th minute today so I checked his game time in the 5 Prem games Chelski have played. He's missed 1, on the bench, started and played 2 ( 90 min ), and been subbed on at the very end of 2 including today's 90th min. Can't believe he can be happy being on the bench for virtually 3 Prem games out of 5. All that time to think about Villa and our prolific goalscoring. January beckons. And England.

January beckons. And England.

Unless Watkins' form falls off a cliff or he gets injured, would he want to swap their bench for our bench?

[Toronto Villa]

When he comes off their bench he might still find himself playing a CL game. We’re not offering that...this season.

He was a less than 1 in 2 striker at Chelsea last season. For the money they and he would want I’d go elsewhere.

Will always have a great memories of Tammy for being one of the most important parts of that team that got us up and went on that 10 game run, never to be forgotten for me. But to a lesser extent I have the same feelings of nostalgia about Tuanzebe (will still always be one of my favourite villa songs of recent times).

I think with Tuanzebe think Konsa and how class he has looked since football restarted. We wouldn’t necessarily need Tuanzebe back now. I think the ship has sailed with Tammy as well to be honest, Watkins looks the real deal.

I think there is understandable nostalgia surrounding Tammy, but I doubt we’ll ever see him in a villa shirt again.

[eamonn]

Tuanzebe was a footnote, I don't get the clamour for him since he left. He was fine but rarely excellent. Tammy was the real deal.

Edit: wrong thread.

[ADVILLAFAN]

Yes and Tuanzebe was also made of glass
