Summer 2022 Transfer Thread

[LukeJames]

The type of signings a club aiming for 17th would make. I take it back about us being able to attract Pocchetino. It will be Dyche next.

Might help us finish higher than last season you say FFS
Get the open top bus on order

Yeah, i reckon we're a dark horse for 13th :-)

Better than where we are now though to be fair !

Talking of the match day experience, i'm not sure what the purpose of the fucking racket in the Trinity is before the game, it gets right on my tits. Maybe i'm getting older, i know it used to be a bit much when i had a season ticket in there 12 + years ago but it seems ear bleeding levels now.

Assuming we sign Bednarek and Dendoncker, 7 of the 8 signings under Gerrard will be 27 or older. Seems to go against 'the plan' we had not too long ago.

Some thing for sure certain: Bednarek and Dendoncker will provide significantly more substance at set pieces. They are both a threat and a source of goals due to their aerial prowess.

The plan was to always bring more experience players.
These two have that.

Pah!  I think we’ve all had quite enough of ‘plans’.

[dorsetvillian]

These are the type of signings I would have expected promoted teams like Bournemouth or Fulham to have made. Talk is cheap and once again Villa have failed to deliver this Summer. Another false dawn...

[Toronto Villa]

where is this super wow transfer that these Twitter tools were blowing their load over. Bednarek and Dendoncker are solid but isn't setting the world alight.

[Clark W Griswold]

I had that realisation 12 months ago though so it's not a big shock to me. They're better than the previous 2 owners though and pulled us out of a hole, gave us some respectability again. If they can sort the manger situation out we're sure to do a lot better anyway.

On SSN, Kevin Campbell has pitched up dressed as a fairground barker.

Are you sure that wasn't Poch, BE's baker?

At a guess I'd say we were looking at getting a couple of higher profile players but the fucking mess of a start to the season has messed our plans up.

[HolteLower]

Clearly the "plan" is back to establishing in the Prem not pushing on. No expectation now that we are trying for anything other than survival and given the situation that is by no means a nailed on outcome. Most teams including the promoted ones have improved in the window arguably better than we have.

[paul_e]

Yep, spending millions of a stadium redevelopment screams that the owners are settlnig for survival and nothing more, clearly.

[Paul.S]

I’ll give anyone a chance when they come to us but if the players we were told would get us excited are the 2 mentioned then it’s time to worry. If Luiz is allowed to leave without another coming in then that would be suicidal. Still a few hours left so we may pull off a surprise. We definitely need one.

If the rumours are true, we seriously considered bringing in Dyche to replace Deano. My Burnley supporting mate posted at the weekend how delighted he is to finally see his side playing 21st century football.

[Delboy Villan]

Dendoncker is a player that has played regularly for a side in the top half of the league, which is where we want to be? No problems for me as I think it will make us solid in the middle?
