Summer 2022 Transfer Thread

[Dogtanian]

Ben Chrisene says he’s competing with Lucas Digne for the shirt. I know he’s really well thought of, so it will be interesting if he stays to compete knowing we also have Young, or whether we let him go on loan.

He's apparently beefed up over the summer and the staff are impressed.

We should see him tomorrow, I hope.

May be a case of having a slow transition over this season from Young to Chrisenne.

We definitely need someone in central midfield who doesn’t waste possession. The inability to keep the ball since we came back up has cost us. We have the ability to cause most teams an issue in the final 3rd but need to win that physical battle and then use the ball well in the middle of the pitch.

This  totally. Arsenal at home this season. They made keeping the ball in the middle of the park look easy. Our midfield just weren't at the races

[Matt C]

I still think we’ll invest big in one more and that will be someone as described above who can look after the ball better, we just don’t do it well enough.

Tammy in the crowd at Walsall. Ready to sign, there to watch his brother or both?

[Drummond]

Oooh, I'd like that. Though I'm sure he's another one who'd soon not be able to hit a barn door.

[Toronto Villa]

Tammy would be a massive upgrade to our attacking options. But it would mean selling Ings. A top forward and one more excellent CM, a solid back up LB and we are in a very good spot.

Couple of things; does the cost justify the upgrade?  Tammy wouldn't be cheap. How much would we get for Ings or Watkins?

[Toronto Villa]

Not sure but better is better. We’d be buying him from Roma so there won’t be the PL inflation tied to him. But easily £40-50m I would say. Personally I would like Tammy, Cam, Ollie as my primary options if we sold Ings. Or keep Ings, send Cam out on loan, and then Cam returns to replace Ings next season. Ings probably raises £10m. He’s not finished at PL level and I still think at a lower half team as first choice he’s getting 10 PL goals at least.

[Clark W Griswold]

Tammy is a quality goal scorer but I’m not sure he does much else. Wouldn’t be fussed about bringing him in and offloading Watkins or Ings but if Archer is loaned out then maybe. If we’re bringing someone in though I’d prefer someone with more in their locker overall.
I didn’t see him play last season though, I’ll admit.

Ah, that makes sense, I was saying to my kid, “doesnt their centre forward look like Tammy Abraham”

According to third-party sources, a former FC København and current Sweden international, left back, signing is on the way. Ludwig Augustinsson.

Weirdly, the US NFL Fantasy Football guy I follow on Twitter also happens to be a Villa nut and he was saying it's likely we will sign Augustinsson and loan out Chrisene

[paul_e]

I think that's probably a good idea, Chrisene looks like he has the ability and physique to be a very good full back but he needs experience now and he'll struggle to get that behind Digne.

[Footy-Vill]

 I suspect some players will be left out of the squad that will travel to Australia for pre-season training. This allows them to look for clubs, if they are not to be a part of the plans then makes sense. And SG and coaching team can focus on the relevant players for the squad.
I don't think it's sense or fair to take any established player who isn't to be fully involved and is likely to leave.

The younger players, on the other hand, could be a part of things and go along for the whole experience, before being assessed and loaned out.
That seems like a good way to work things out.
