Tammy and Bailey back for the craic?

Somebody's on crack if we pay £35m for Tammy.

So we have Watkins with no one challenging him yet again.  Brilliant.

He's been both useful & useless in games. He adds something different. 
I liken it to the Duran sale, without the drama. It's probably the optimum time to sell & he wants to go.
We'll get someone in who will be more suited to the number 9 role.

Moises Kean incoming.

Moises Kean incoming.

Makes sense, ties in with our new training sponsor.

[Walmley_Villa]

Are we sure it isn't reading Moye's is keen?

[VancouverLion]

I’m going to say it again, because there’s no one nearby to hear me go on about it, but this feels like utter lunacy to me. He’s the only real pace we have and I’ve seen no links to anyone that is quick, I think he’s going to be a massive loss.

All of the above, echoed.

[brontebilly]

Not happy with this.

Though if the player has agitated for the move it’s generally unwise to keep an unhappy player.

Hope we’ve got at least two decent forward options coming in: Back up for Ollie and a decent wide option with pace.


Malen fulfilled both criteria and that’ll need to be replaced.

Think Emerys problem with him was that he wasnt really a backup for Ollie, EL dross aside. Nor able to play in midfield. Not too often we will be going two up top where to be fair he did make solid contributions this season. Leeds and Burnley stand out.

Moise Kean (Moi-ze Ken) Looks more like a traditional CF from my You Tube research.

Watkins must be finally clear of his injury struggles if this is happening. Lets hope the players don't "down tools" again in protest.

Watkins is the footballing equivalent of the cuckoo - pushes and shoves everyone out so only he is left - thank heavens he has such a good injury record

He also moves into vulnerable people’s flats, using their home to sell drugs. It’s disgusting.

So Guessand is still here and Malen goes How does that make sense? Surely you should have a replacement in before releasing him? We were light upfront anyway.

Im hoping that because of the financial situation we need to off load first. If we bought and then couldn’t off load we’d be in a mess so I guess h th is then gives certainty for whatever we are after.

Agree. This avoids the risk of us having to sell a ‘crown jewel’ because the planned deal(s) falls through. Bit like the summer where we wanted to shift Bailey and Emi but ended up losing Ramsey.

[RichardBatchelor]

Absolute madness.

Wonder if Donny will blows us purple and blue-hearted kisses in his goodbye letter on Insta. I never understood him really and I know it's too late now.
