I'd prefer Rashica on a footballing level if he didn't look like Stevie G's lovechild. Can see him getting punched in the face all the time by opposition players. Benrahma, looks a decent player but i think he'd struggle in the premiership

I agree. Benrahma looks too light weight. Rashica or Buendia for me. Or both.

Thanks for the transfer whispers Holy Trinity. Poor Vinnie took a couple of sceptical posts on his claims to heart but I appreciate any "insider" info however caveat'd. It makes this thread great again.

Hes generally reliable. The only person who really put me off posting on here is footyskillz aka vill I an.


There is an Ignore Poster option in your profile settings.

How many can you add to the Ignore List.

Just asking.

As many as you want.

Benrahma reminds me of Mahrez a fair bit, who despite his stature has been exceptional in the premier league. Think I would happily have either but due to his clear want of a better move, probably edge toward Benrahma.

Still like Lange to come up with a pacey young wide player that we can take a punt on cheap.

Seen a couple of reports mentioning Marcus Edwards, so perhaps him?

I've done the same . Though as I wasn't logged in I have seen these hurtful comments.
I wish people would be kinder here exactly why I refrained from donating for so long.
I'll have to stay logged in so the comments making fun of me can be ignored.


Poor lamb.

So - if we are going to get 1 of them, do people want Rashica or Benrahma?
Benrahma. With regards to a transfer to Villa it doesn't seem like Rashica's heart is in it. Almost as if this is a step down and we're beneath him. Plus he seems happy in Germany so have to wonder how he'll settle in Brum.

Yeah but he'd have a stormer of a season just to get out of brum. He wins the Bell on door and we make triple dollar off his sale.
