The January New Manager Warchest Transfer Thread

Read on another Villa website that Luiz is wanted by Arsenal

For the right money I'd flog him.

Twitter rumours suggesting that Dan Neil from Sunderland is incoming but nothing legit to back it up yet.

Suggestion that we're in for Mavididi also along with West Ham and Newcastle

Dan Neil was linked a week or two ago. Talk was that our scouts were raving about him. No idea who Mavididi is.

Joe Gomez? I'd be for it if it could happen.

A bit harsh but maybe it's what these overpaid prima donnas need

The latest from Gregg Evans at The Athletic:

Bentancur, a three-time Serie A title winner with Juventus, has occasionally had grief from their supporters, who complain that he can’t dictate the tempo as well as others have for the club over the years. He has been criticised for not being the answer to issues with Juventus’ build-up play, which still misses a player in the mould of Andrea Pirlo or Miralem Pjanic.

Surely we would be looking for a Gattuso not a Pirlo anyway.

Luiz gets a lot of stick on here, I thought he was by a long way our best midfielder again last weekend. I know his contract situation is concerning but he is the kind of player we should be building around for me. McGinn was awful last weekend and not much is said.

Moving for this Juve guy might suggest Sanson should be worried going on that article. No game time last weekend (poor decision from Gerrard to bring on Chucky I thought) and still to complete 90mins for us this season.

From my Juve supporting mate:

"Bentancur in the last two seasons has played very badly most of the time, he's not bad but sometimes very lazy.

McKennie don't like it at all, tactically he's a goat, just runs a lot."

A tactical goat!

A tactical goat!

Billy McKennie RIP

"Bentancur in the last two seasons has played very badly most of the time, he's not bad but sometimes very lazy.

McKennie don't like it at all, tactically he's a goat, just runs a lot."

Goes against the quote from the article 'Bentancur has the ability to protect the back four effectively due to the hard yards he puts in.' I mean to play the amount of games he has done for the best team in Italy over the last few years and already have 45 caps for Uruguay (if I remember correctly) at a pretty young age then he must be decent. If anything he feels much more out of reach than recent signings.

Boubacar Kamara seems the obvious choice for our defensive midfielder with the added bonus he can also slot in at centre half if needed. At £10m he's a bargain which is why half-arsed clubs like Man Utd are interested. We should offer more to Marseille and disrupt any deal that's not to Villa Park.

It does indeed but my mate hasn't missed a Juventus game in decades. Gregg Evans on the other hand..

Ha, yeah, although I know a few people who watch us week in week out and they talk absolute bollocks.

The offer from Aston Villa for Rodrigo Bentancur has arrived. He is now negotiating with us.

[villadelph]

131 appearances over 4½ years along with 3 Serie A titles and 2 Coppa's to boot by the age of 24 ain't bad.
