Summer 2022 Transfer Thread

[steamer]

It's not that he's bad, he's just not particularly good either. I genuinely have no idea what he does well.

Anyway the press have linked us to him so I have no doubt what so ever that we are not in for him. We've proven time and time again that very few people out there know our next move.

agreed
from the games I've seen , a poor mans Douglas

Well it ain't gonna be Joe Gomez

Punches the air

What has happened to Gomez?

What has happened to Gomez?

Signed a new contract for five years. He’s playing for one of the best football clubs in the world and has a long-term contract yet people on here don’t rate him.

Winks is about the same level as Ashley Westwood. Likely to run down his contract Barks style.

[Smithy]

I must be alone in thinking Winks is a decent player. Always looked pretty competent when I’ve seen him play, including in an England shirt. If Gerrard is looking for technically good players who can move the ball quickly and accurately to help us retain better possession, then he fits the bill. I’m not convinced he is significantly better than what we have already, but he’s not a bad player, and still a good age at 26.

The curse of the Mercury Prize. Won it in '98 but within a few years were also-rans once more.

Even Tom Hanks had Wilson.

He’s a water carrier with a hole in his bucket.

With regards Grealish to Spurs - when the deal was done and agreed, Spurs decided to change their offer at the last minute. and offered a Million pounds less than had been agreed - and that is the reason that Villa decided not to sell Grealish to Spurs

Gerrard wants someone who is a presence and "athletic" and tenacious for the CM role

Got a hunch that his main target is Gallagher and were waiting on Chelsea to green light a move

I've not heard this, I always thought that the new owners took one look at the deal and said we weren't selling a prized asset. Where have you heard this from? I'd like to hear more if this is from a good source.

What's wrong with some people not rating a certain player?

Agreed, he looks very good indeed.

I thought the main reason was, the new owners came in meaning we didn't have to sell. Bearing in mind we were a tad skint at the time, I can't imagine it would have been for the reason Sid said but you never know.
