Summer 2022 Transfer Thread

Harold Winks, so bad he's on there twice.

Yes, wanted to confirm he’s definitely not wanted.

Baily is a much better player than those staring at United.  Strange they want rid.

Adama Traore at £10m is also a very decent signing for someone,  creates mayhem.

I’ve always thought Bailly was massively better than Lindelof…..though you have to give them credit, they have managed to find a smaller physically weak defender to replace one of the most physically weak defenders in the league….bravo to them.

Traore is made for a Chelsea or Spurs….20 minute substitute cameos in a good side when they need something different

[Duncan Shaw]

Benrahma would be worth a punt still I reckon.  Don't know why he's so out of favour, scored a vital goal again for them last night.

just not the sort of player we need.

Agreed.  I've seen Maguire and Lindelof look awful and yet Baily seems to be bombed out.  Most odd,  but I'd take him on a loan to buy to cover Carlos,  gets anywhere near his best he's a very good defender.

Traore is weird.  I actually think he'd be a good option in out set up now as we have so little pace and he'd give us something very different.  Not my first choice.

Not sure we need another maverick, we needed Benrahma when we signed Traore….

I'm gutted Bert hasn't had a look in lately.  Supremely talented player. 

[nick harper]

Chelsea making Chalobah available on loan according to the Athletic. He’d be a decent short term option although plenty would be interested I think.

[ChicagoLion]

He has a worse injury record than Keinan.

[Brend'Watkins]

Vestergaard is half decent isn't he? or is it that he scores against us that makes him look so?  Soyuncu would be decent cover in defence if we really need to.

[Footy-Vill]

All we hear now is speculation about bringing in another centre back and whether or not to pursue a Chelsea loan midfielder. And a kind of wish for a striker with no solid links or bids flying in.
Coutinho wonderful signing. Also there's a decent profile and  pedigree of the other signings of Villa this window. It would be nice if we had some more quality to compete.

Clearly, it's been difficult, but when you hear Chelsea and Manchester United, as well as Forest and Newcastle, linked to everyone and throwing in bids, it'd be nice to have a bit more of that during the majority of the summer window.

Generally we do our business very quietly though, was slightly different with Kamara as we'd been scouting him for a long time. Also usually about 80% of links and chat about incoming bids turns out to be total bollocks anyway.

Soyuncu is such a weird one, looked so good for most of that season and was chipping in with goals too and now looks shot.

And also this is the only issue with doing our business early.  Because we was so efficient, it come to three month further on and it looks like we are being quiet.
