Reports in Italy saying that Chiesa's agent is trying to make a move to Villa happen, but as reported multiple other places, the player himself sees us as second tier and isn't interested.

We're a tier above Juve in European competition this season anyway.

Linked with Joao Felix again, who's been ordered to train with Atletico's kids and seen his number 7 shirt given to Griezmann.

Our treatment room is first tier & as that will be where he will spend most of his time, he should be grateful anybody is interested at all...

The dude is put together using chewing gum & toilet paper...

We should move on.

I respect the fact that we enquired as it shows ambition, but Im not interested in players who aren't interested in us.

one of Felix/Goncalves   and one of Diaby/Torres/Kudos


better than a threesome with Monica belluci and Halle Berry for me
tingles everywhere .   Two of these be mindblowing , just cant see Chiesa tho.

I read last week that we had. The Brum Mail guy that does the Q&A listed a handful of players we'd been linked with and basically said they'd all knocked us back at the first sign of interest. 

The Italian report makes it sound like he wants out of Juve, rather than them wanting rid of him, so obviously the agent is trying to make that happen.

I agree though. If it's a case of someone like Torres maybe needing to be sold on us because he's leaving his childhood club, a place he loves and that love him, then I can give him time to think it over. If its someone looking to leave a club, but they're ruling us out without any thought for being "second tier" then they can stay where they are.

Bollocks to anybody who doesn't want to play for a huge team with one of the world's best managers, with Argentina's World Cup winning goalie. They'll all be singing a different tune in a year or two.

I think Joao Felix should be playing in attacking midfield, rather than up front.

I think the knock backs will have more to do with our location rather than Football Club itself
 
I’m not saying we are seen as a massive draw for players in Europe but they would rather be London centric or one of the Champions League northern clubs

At the moment
