2023 Summer transfer window - hopes, needs, expectations and rumours.

[Footy-Vill]

Do the H and V moderators here get paid? Or did they all go to Saudi Arabia too?
Perhaps they can step in here if not and steer this back to Transfer News as the talk is a major money move by our beloved club is to be done and discussion is getting lost

Diaby! And Bailey ! Back together again!

It was Fake! That wasn't the real Romano

Florida is hardly a beacon of hope for the lgbtq+ community, or people of colour. A number of organisations have issued travel warnings for the state, so while they're not at the level of Saudi Arabia, it is a fair comparison.

That's funny because Florida quite literally WAS the beacon of hope to all the Cuban refugees that escaped the wonderful, loving and caring utopian Castro regime. Unless of course you don't consider Cubans to be "people of color"

The yanks had been pillaging the country with their puppet dictator for decades, but you go with your Hollywood story

What.. they had a transfer embargo for the second half of the 1900s and the US just starting normalizing relations within the last 10 or so years under Obama. Americans can travel there, not as tourists, after jumping through hoops. Puppet dictator Castro.. for Russia..?

Bild in Germany reporting we’ve made a new bid for Diaby.

Thanks!
Fantatsic.  Hopefully this is the one that comes through now.
I think it's just agreeing the fee.
Great news!
Up The Villa!

Nah, we'll be gazumped by Saudi.

Quite honestly if any player we're linked with chooses the money over the Villa then we dodged a bullet.

This is my view too.

The Saudi experiment will help filter those who prefer their actual career & legacy, over purely money.

And if Diaby goes to Saudi, then fine.

We move on to Doku...

Please can we have one thread ( a bloody important one as well as its about new recruits) to remain politics free.

If people want to discuss Saudi leagues and the politics behind it etc then fine - but not in a thread like this

Pretty please

Which transfers are you upset that people aren't discussing?

[AV84]

Mitrovic is apparently on his way to a Saudi club too. 28, nearly 29, but not exactly retirement age.

[Footy-Vill]

Yes it just takes one of the big players who's peak Premier leagye to move and then people will take notice and its going same way as golf and boxing.

But it's all the other talk.
Surely you can see it's gone too far here .

It not that and i am sure you know it.

Some posters on here could not discuss Santa Claus without him being a Tory or a racist etc - it really is tiresome at times and spoils the threads.

Of course mention that player A is off to the money tree that is Saudi but that is it - we dont need huge blocks of text about how corrupt, shit, undemocratic the Saudi's are - i am sure we all know.

Why don't you and the merry band of moderators comply with the requests and moderate instead of asking questions. You can tell that not only are individuals unhappy, but there is also off-topic arguing on this thread. When there has been a significant amount of off-topic conversation, it is quite challenging to follow and discuss the specified issue.

It's all rather unpleasant to read and lacking in context of transfer discussion
This goes against the forum's spirit and I want to say I'm dissatisfied with what is being allowed to continue.


Up The Villa!

[villadelph]

Hey Footy, do multiple people access your account? Honest question.. it seems like your grammar changes from time to time and I never thought you'd take a shot at the mod team.

I think you should probably be quite thankful that the mods are as laissez faire as they are to be honest.
