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

[Clampy]

Bit of a strange move. Not what I was expecting really.

[Paul.S]

If Emery wants the right side to sit in then this is fine. Wouldn’t be my first choice but maybe the injuries have changed a few things.

[AV84]

It's a loan, option to buy but not mandatory.

[VillaTim]

Good player , very happy with this

[KNVillan]

Late twist…he is injured out for 5/6 weeks

Does it scream panic buy if we've apparently hijacked it at the last possible minute? Does it matter?

Interestingly just looking him up and there's a story that says we were actually interested in him earlier in the window but the perceived lack of first team opportunities made him prefer Everton.

Why is it a panic deal? Not even a buy. The club have said there are other deals being worked on and possibly this was considered due to Buendia. But I don’t see how this is panic if it’s a player that was on our list but a bit lower down that’s ok isn’t it? And he’s not immediately available I think but not a serious injury.

[Toronto Villa]

I just hope this doesn’t impact the Zaniolo deal

[Brazilian Villain]

Super, super Jack..super, super Jack...

Too soon?

[PeterWithesShin]

Considering their manager has said in his pressers that he's not due back to training until at least the international break then I very much doubt that we had to be informed about it or it's a late twist.

[Dave]

Good player but isn’t he injured?

Mediocre player, and injured.

Surely we'd have known this already ?

[Dave]

I'd rather Bowen from West Ham

Well, obviously. But we're not going to be forking over the £80m or so they'd ask for, are we?

[VillaTim]

Fabrizio seems to be backtracking a bit here

[Jon Crofts]

A loan, so nowt to lose.

[pauliewalnuts]

David Ornstein reckons he’s going to Everton.
