Summer 2022 Transfer Thread

[Walmley_Villa]

When looking at Tarkowski I am minded to think of the impact Craig Dawson has had on West Ham. On the face of it nothing special but very solid lots of nous and scores the odd goal. If he can't pass out from the back (which everyone has assumed because that wasn't the way Burnley played - it may be he is more than capable) he'd be fine as long as he can pass it 15 yards to Kamara or Bissouma

We need more goals from the Centre Halves at set pieces and he is very good in the air and looked dangerous v us last week

In our game at West Ham I was giving Dawson loads for being a donkey (I rate him actually but you know), right up to the point he smashed a 60 yard crossfiled ball onto Benrahma's toe in the build up to their first goal

don't know if anyones posted this on Tarkowski but inevitably makes him look good. I think he could at least play it to one of our players but I wouldn't expect cross field worldies. I'm not sure 120k a week on a defender is good value for money in the points department. Maybe in the 1 goal losses, but that does seem a lot to me. I await a striker - get a good one of those and I think we're in with a chance of Europe.

Diego Carlos of Sevilla being linked in the Athletic.

That would be a proper upgrade. 29, so not a long-term option but if that's the market we're shopping in then it's very impressive.

We appear, on the surface at least, to not be preturbed with fucking about this summer.

I still find this a difficult concept to comprehend as a Villa fan. At least there's no sign of the new shirts yet which is comforting.

Brighton want Ings?

We want Bissouma?

Shouldn't be too difficult.

Mings and Carlos at the back would be indeed be impressive

That would mean Dougie probably leaving and possibly swapping in 2 DMs against the 'bigger teams' or to close a game out.

I see Kamara as a sitting defensive mid and Bissouma as box to box so probably both first choice.

Tarkowski offered £120k a week according to some sources. That sounds a lot but no transfer fee so I guess it all evens out in the end.

Without wishing to sound like a stalker I found out a few weeks ago that Danny Ings moved in about a mile from me when he joined us. Based on what he's paid and what he's done to the place externally at least since, I don't think another move was in his plans. I guess a change of manager can cause those plans to be revised of course but I see him as wanting to be here for the long haul.

I did wonder about him. Newcastle were in for him in January and he was thinking about leaving but Sevilla kept rejecting bids.

Now Newcastle moved on to other targets so he's likely available and vastly experienced.

It would sound like a good deal if only Bissouma didn't still have outstanding sexual assault case against him.
