Summer 2022 Transfer Thread

[villadelph]

Can we just, for once, pull a Leicester and get a quality player in that can be sold for a profit in 3 years?

I'm not asking for a club legend, I just need an above-average footballer. Why do we make it so hard.

Because we employ average to shit managers and have done so for a long time.

Because the quality ones expect investment, something we don't provide. You really think Conte would be at spurs we're it not for the ability to move in the market. "We're going to wait for the right player to become available" just an excuse not to spend anything. Clubs above us are getting stuff done which is exactly why they are clubs above us. The second summer in a row so it's clear their intentions which are just to talk a good game. We wait for the right player ever other summer and in the same window our best players go because we're twiddling our thumbs. I can accept being mid table, not winning anything, I'm a villa fan I've been used to it all my life and I can even take the laughing us the constant 2-0 up losing 2-3 joke that happens regularly but I can't accept being lied to and that's how I feel. I would still have coughed up the dollar for my ST but I see straight through these three.

Maguire: Bought for £7m - sold for £79m
Mahrez: Bought for £500k - sold for £61m
Kante: Bought for £8m - sold for £33m
Chillwell: Homegrown - sold for £45m
Drinkwater: Bought for £800k - sold for £34m

..and they will get huge fees for Fofana and Tielemans (coming to villa, lol).

We can't even sell our players let alone identify the talented ones.

All that and they are skint!

I hope Leicester don't use the funds generated by Fofana to poach him.

Ings didn't strike me as a panic buy rather that we speeded said deal up. I think it was received positively at the time and still believe he has something to offer.

Did someone say that we asked for JWP but were offered Ings?

With all due respect that is nonsense. You can questions other things regarding the club but you can't say we don't provide investment.

Since we were promoted. We've broken our transfer record 4 times and have only been out-spent by the 'Super League' clubs.

Transfer fee's
1) Chelsea £550m
2) Man Utd £541m
3) Man City £527m
4) Arsenal £491m
5) Spurs £427m
6) Villa £401m

Even taking into account the £100m we pocketed for Grealish, our net spend is still the 5th highest

1) Man Utd -£412m
2) Arsenal -£376m
3) Newcastle -£308m
4) Spurs -£291m
5) Villa -£246m

Added to that we've committed God knows how much more millions for the stadium development. Since NSWE came in I dont think we csn be accused of lack of Investment.

Sunday 2pm West Ham
Wednesday 730pm Arsenal
Thursday 11pm Transfer Window closes.

Thats a busy schedule with team prep and selection briefings and all the match day stuff going on for Gerrard then we'll have in the background Lange working on recruitment.

Had this last weekend whilst at Palace deals being made for Sarr with Gerrard focusing on the football matters.

Its interesting that it has to be a collective agreement for a signing to be made.

But this is down to Lange to come up with something

Spot on! For me the false narrative of the summer….we spent this summer, we probably will again if can get the RIGHT players…we’ve no doubt invested huge salaries in January and the summer yet the accusation is lack of investment….not for me!

Is it just a loan move for Bednarek? Honestly, I don't want anything to do with him but if its a rental then I couldn't care less.

If he is, we’ll soon thrash that out of him!

Donkey. The player, not you.
