Summer Transfer Thread and Gustavo Cisneros Type Rumours.

[The Edge]

Well we've 'unveiled' Monster Energy Drinks as a club Partner today , that's about it.

Really becoming disillusioned with some of what is going on at the Club this Summer.

John Terry , ROK out and dodgy deals with a crypto currency and a Teeth Rotting , unhealthy Drinks Company?
Are we that desperate for Sponsorship we have to lower ourselves to Monster?  I thought we had a touch of class , the club that had Accorns on the front of our jersey.....terrible move and looks desperate and cheap

You really are always offended and disgusted at everything we do. Fuck me you must be miserable to live with.

I wonder what his mood was like in the 2018 pre-season when Dr Tony was busy selling off a car park to save the club from liquidation? Short memory.

[Skerra]

Looks like it was correct about Traore hamstring injury. That’s usually a 4 week lay off but, being Villa, about 6 to 9 months probably more likely!!

What has Dr Tony and a Car Park got to do with us linking up with unethical companies NOW? I appreciate the efforts of the current board but let's not forget we all got excited at the start of the Randy era and look how that ended..... as it stands the board have spent Zero this summer and we are in desperate need of reinforcements, in my opinion.

Losing two high quality coaches and our star player has hardly left me feeling excited,especially after that disaster on Saturday.

On the pitch and coaching I agree, it's a bit crap.

But the sponsorship stuff is looking for a stick to beat the club with.

Chelsea loaning out BashitCrazy for the 50th time, this time to Besiktas but extending his contract at the time; selling Tammy to Roma with a buy-back option; making money from other players that have had successful loan-spell (some chap at AC Milan) amongst probably 20+ other young/talented players officially on their books but likely plying their wares elsewhere this season....

Is the transfer/loan system really fit for purpose when the likes of Chelsea can just exploit it to within an inch of its life? Why not ban them from loaning players out as punishment for their ESL attempts rather than a shitty little fine? Punish the privileged who don't give a shit about the system they abuse.

Aren’t they just working the system to Their own advantage
I also thought our academy system was using there’s as a template

Yes pretty sure our owners are looking to emulate it. Look how many young players we are hoovering up and loaning out this season, I think we are using Chelsea as a model. Hoping to get the odd player through to the first team, whilst selling and earning loan fees from the ones that don't make it.

I'm sure I'll get round to accepting it when we're doing it on a widescale basis like the Fulham Road Bandits.

£50m is apparently the quoted price for Ward-Prowse (source:HTIC).  At that I'd be inclined to say 'no thanks', also Cantwell is 40+ (again reportedly).

Who cares?  If the owners have the money (they do) and want to spend it, and if Dean Smith and the recruitment team think he's the answer?  I mean I honestly don't get why fans are arsed abut whether it's £40m or £50m, when both costs are absurd anyway.

Personally neither excite me in any way (cant believe I would say that about potentially signing 40/50m players!!) I’d like to think that there is far better value in Europe - like most would like to see a cloned Ndidi / Kante type rather than JWP who is an upgraded Hourihane but not an enforcer.

Hoping Lange is finding that player rather than just focussing on players who have done well against us with the associated premium

Losing two coaches so close to the season is a blow I agree but if replacements are deemed necessary I have every confidence in the club to do just that. But getting upset about an energy drink company being involved in the club is just looking for negatives. There's an awful lot of dirty money floating around the Premier league. It's hardly up there with human rights abuse.

[WRVilla]

£50 million for James Ward-Prowse… wow. I guess that reflects what he’s worth to them but it’s a huge amount of money. Not for me, if we have that to spend I’d be looking to use it on a quality defensive/holding midfielder. No idea who though.

I’d write to the club and tell them how disillusioned you are and how everything about Aston Villa makes you so unhappy.

[PeterWithe]

Juventus have just bought Locatelli, probably the best DM at the Euros for £30m on a £2.5m pa contract.

For me it shows the complete lack of value in JWP or other PL players

Southampton have done the same as we did with Grealish. They don't want or need to sell him so they've slapped a price tag on him put clubs off. That's their prerogative.We didn't expect anyone to cough up 100 mil but Ci£y did and forced our hand. Our owners now have a choice. Pay up or move on.

Yup, I know we all like Lange's crazed grin but it is a bit odd aren't picking up an overseas bargain.
