January 2023 Transfer Rumours, Discussions and Done Deals Thread

No thanks. Pickford is vastly overrated. His face irritates me as well. Infinitely punchable.

[LeeB]

Pickford is shite

[BC54 VFC]

Pickford is running his contract down, isn't he?

Are you Pickford's agent, perchance?

[john e]

Mental note to save these pages when Pickford becomes our new number 1 because Martinez fucked off to (insert name of CL club)

[eamonn]

Pickford is shite

Still better than Lloris.

Footy V was going to give us an insight into the potential of the transfer window. Is that still happening? Is he still in discussions with Lange?

He's just collating all the information he has been given by his various contacts across the globe.

Pickford is not even the best English keeper. Don't want him, even for free.  Keep Emi and stop selling our best players.  Let's build from a position of strength.  Emi, Kamara are two of the best players we've had for years, keep them, at all costs and build the team around them.

To keep someone "at all costs" is stupid.

So is the idea that we should "stop selling our best players" without considering the consequences when we are in the best position we have ever been to repurpose the funds effectively.

IF for some bizarre reason Martinez downed tools, refused to play and got trapped indefinitely in his house because the gate wouldn't open, then Pickford wouldn't be the worst replacement in the world.  I'd rather Pickford than Olsen, for example.

But in real life, no thanks. I can't see Emi wanting to leave anyway but you never know.

i think you want a keeper to be a calming influence, he doesn’t strike me as that

Selling your best players means that you never move up a level.  Other players want to play with better players, not average shit that we have purchased 90% of the time.  Emi and Kamara are world class players, bring in more world class players to support them.

By 'we' do you mean Manchester City?  Villa have moved up a level because we have appointed the right Manager, at last.  The money on Grealish was wasted.

If I was Toronto Villa I'd report you.
