Wonder if Martial would be a good fit. On his way out of Man Utd and a good player.

..a definite no from me.

I mentioned Bruno Guimarães as a defensive midfielder. (24)
But also really wouldn't mind Milan and Ivroy Coast wonderful powerhouse Box to box midfielder Frank Kessié. He's quite something and be great addition to the midfield.(25) put of contract in the summer...

Dean Smith really should have been backed a little more to get Kalvin Phillips or James Ward Prowse over the line.
We're now looking at same money anyway of 40/50m for a quality midfielder
Tried to get things on the cheap with Sanson move

Sorry Footy but this is nonsense. Sanson is a completely different player position wise to those two so the comparisons are facile. If you’re going to criticise the purchase of Sanson then at least compare it to what we could have had as a No 8 instead.

We would have signed Phillips if he’d have come. Likewise JWP although we also faced the fact that Southampton really wanted to hang onto him. JWP isn’t the DCM we need anyway and although I’d have liked to see us sign him at the time he would have blocked Ramsey’s progress. Phillips would have been / would be a phenomenal signing but I think we’ll have much chance of getting him now as we did then as I reckon the CL teams will be in for him soon.

Southampton were never going to sell us both Ings and Prowse in the same window.

Name is Dan Neill.  Highly rated by them apparently. More of an attacking midfielder than a holding midfielder.

If you really want to know more. https://www.readytogo.net/smb/threads/villa-are-after-dan-neil.1569410/

Does seem an odd link given we're not exactly short of young quality midfielders.
