If you could guarantee he'd stay fit for more than fifteen minutes at a time, sure.

True.  Spence from Spurs is a decent player, Unai would make him even better.

All though like James, we need to ensure we sign the D Spence who plays for the men's team and not the D Spence who plays for their women's team.

Spence would not be an upgrade on Cash.Looks good going forward but defensively he is very weak.

Spurs paid a fortune for Porro who's pretty 'meh'.

I was at a birthday party last night for one of my wife's friends and was introduced to Christian Pulisic's grandmother. I told her to pass on a message to him to please come to Villa. As soon as he signs I'll let her out of our basement closet, but not a second sooner :)

My daughter went with her friend, who was house hunting, to a viewing of Pulisic’s house a couple of years ago. She (daughter’s friend) didn’t buy it in the end.

Looks like Jonathan David might be off to Napoli on a free.

Probably quite sensible.

Belgium - Lille - Napoli did wonders for Victor Osimhen's finances.

And reputation as well, I suppose.

Sounds like Palace destroyed Djed Spence, so he'd fit right in at Villa.

Can't we just get Eze and Sarr just to end the pain against bloody Palace!

I actually think Porro is a very good full-back, it's just the Ange system regularly exposes their full-backs, which means he can sometimes look worse than he is through no fault of his own.  I bet if he leaves this summer, it will be to a very decent team.
