Summer 2022 Transfer Thread

[ASHTONVILLA]

Sorry Drummonds if misinform no names.
Would say that Sanson going and to be replaced by a champions league level player
I hope you enjoy rest of summer and we can have fresh optsimsim for new season.
Cheers!

Sanson was a 'Champions League level player' when we signed him wasn't he? Agree that if either/or/both Luiz and Sanson go then a better player will be incoming.

Think Luiz will go, but we may keep Sanson. He was signed on a five year contract for £15m which means for FFP he is still on the books for £11.5m, so we would need to sell for upwards of that to not make FFP worse. Can't see us getting more than £8m for him, so think he will either go out on loan to keep the wages down, or stay and compete for a place from the bench. Not unhappy if he stays as he is a decent bench option.

More important we get cash in for Luiz before he is out of contract, plus he is our worst midfielder.

Footy Vill and Vinnie Chase, I appreciate our H&V in the knows.

Getting info from the avenues I previously get the odd bits from are currently tighter than a ducks butt
Villa operate so bloody tightly.

We do want 3 more in. LB, CM and forward with the left back most further along from what I do know

[VinnieChase84]

We can see the level of players being signed are ones who play European football and are being signed from abroad on European leagues as in England prices have been too high for likes of Phillips who I said was a done deal and went to Man City and Sterling is a done deal and going to Chelsea but I  hear we'll be getting a champions league level attacking player as long as we meet release clause.
Likes of Nunez and Haaaland beyond us at this moment due to not having Champions league but Gerrard and Lange look to bring players who are champions league experienced for extra midfielder quality.
Make of that what we will.

Octavio you alluding to?

[Clark W Griswold]

Not sure Octavio is a centre mid?

The three positions you mention though are what's needed i think.

I think he's a number 8

[Rudy Can't Fail]

He's more an industrious winger than a central midfielder and he's well overpriced.
Fortunately we're not interested.

Really appreciate the bits & bobs you do pass on

Any word on shifting players out, VC?

Slow at the moment. Clubs known we have ones available so taking time.
Trez will be first gone (believe that’s not far off)
Bit of interest in Sanson recently

Expect Hause will be a late ish loan exit,
Tim/Archer as well (pending our in’s)

[KevinGage]

Fulham linked with the Wolfsburg right back Kevin Mbabu.

Good deal that, particularly if it's for the reported €10 million.

Disappointed to see Sanson go if he does , feel like it never got going with him or given the chance

Currently complete and utter nonsense regarding Archer.

Good to hear it, Lee. He was one of the very few bright sparks this year. I almost had Preston as my second club. Almost.

[Legion]

It's common knowledge that at the moment Gerrard wants a full pre-season with him before any decision is made. Anything else is currently just unsubstantiated bollocks.

Glad we are not in for him, almost impossible to get a song invented
