Summer 2022 Transfer Thread

Is Freddie Guilbert back in training at BH,  If he is I wonder how he’s getting on and if it’s all a bit awkward
I’ve always liked him but I know the jury is split on that one

[Dogtanian]

Yeah, he’s been in the pics I think.

Video on our FB Page of the first team back at work.

He is. I saw the pics and thought the same #awks

[Dogtanian]

Is it me, or does Buendia look like he’s been bulking up a little more?

On Twitter he posted “the past is the past, let’s look to the future”

It wouldn't be awkward with Gerrard surely, DS was the one constantly loaning him out.

This is actually first proper chance for Gerrard to assess him so can see him starting league cup game we have in August and then probably leaving on transfer deadline day for a couple of million.

That said I wouldn't be against him staying up to January as actually think he'd do o.k with how Gerrard wants the FBs to operate.

[Legion]

A fresh start with Gerrard. I'm happy with that.

Rumours of Dougie to AC Milan this morning, although it looks like they are not prepared to pay our asking price.  Don’t know what to think about this one

If us selling Dougie, means that we are able to buy a better player in that position, then we should sell

Well yeah but you could say the same thing about every single player we have on the books

True, but him having a year left is a factor.

[algy]

If Dougie isn't going to sign a new contract, it's a non-starter .. we should sell.

If he is willing to, then I'd only let him go for a very healthy offer. Think he's a good player who's been played in a role he's not suited to. There's been glimpses of the player he could be. Think upgrades on him will likely start at £40m, freak bargains aside.

[Dogtanian]

Yeah, I think our net spend so far this season is £29m, so if we can get £20-25m for him that wipes most of that out and we will be able to spend on another good midfield option.  The Dougie situation has been coming for a while so I would be gobsmacked if we don't have a few potential targets identified in case of his going.

Plus he's far too good looking.

Don't we deserve hotties at the Villa?

*No, I'm not talking about Luv Island
