2024 January transfer window - hopes, needs, expectations and rumours.

£4m isn't a bad return given how little of a look-in he's had with us. Look forward to playing him in the Champions League next season.

Agreed. He never really had a run of games under any of our managers but looked quite good for Marseille.

It's quite a bad return on what we paid for him and how little service we got from him though.

Obviously. But given we've spent a decade paying off pretty much every player that we didn't want anymore, it's nice when someone actually gives us money for one.

It certainly is tho at least it’s not a free - selling Azaz & Sanson would pay for the new full back

[eamonn]

I did think the £15m mentioned for Sanson the other day seemed questionable (was probably meant in connection to what he cost us)!

[Mister E]

The pursuit of Rogers doesn't feel right: for a start, his forename is Morgan (and look what happened to the last 'Morgan'). And, he has the 'feel' of our alleged pursuit of Benrhama when Deano was manager. It does seem strange that after his pre-season hype we offloaded Bidace but are now chasing a similar player.
Weird.

[LeeB]

He was bought as Doug insurance wasn't he, but Doug never left in the end.

MORGAN SANSON NEARING CONDITIONS TO MAKE OGC NICE MOVE PERMANENT

Sanson has almost triggered purchase clauses

It is now looking extremely likely that his wish will become a reality. L’Équipe have specified the conditions in which Sanson’s move to Les Aiglons will become permanent. For the €4m purchase option to be triggered, Sanson must start at least 17 Ligue 1 games for Le Gym and Nice must finish 8th or above in France’s top-flight.

Sanson has already made 15 Ligue 1 starts in a Nice shirt, whilst the club currently sit second, 11 points ahead of ninth-placed RC Strasbourg Alsace. Sanson’s time at Aston Villa therefore looks almost certain to come to an end at the end of the season.

its Euros not pounds but we get him off the wage bill so its is what it is.

I don't think they are similar players, as I understand it. He's more of a driving ball carrier, coming central from wide area, whereas Philogene is a winger

[Toronto Villa]

Fiorentina are interested in Zaniolo. I wonder if he gets returned to Turkey and then gets that move we will bring in a replacement. Not exactly worked out for him with us.

Yeah Fiorentina might suit him better. He's worked hard but hasn't managed to look his old self so far. We'd need someone to replace him though!

[OCD]

Zaniolo played for Galatasaray at the start of the season and you can't play for 3 clubs in the same season.

You can register for 3 clubs in one season.

[OCD]

Ok. I did read something the other day saying he wouldn't be able to join another club.
