Probably.

Maybe.

Given it's us and ManU who are under the most FFP pressure, is there a potential Garnacho = Martinez deal to be done?

You have said something very bad....very very bad.

[steamer]

I guess the planning dd not start after the last game of the season
we will have identified who is surplus, who earns too much and what we need to fit both the FA and  European rules
Hopefully we will have identified who is available to come in to match the managers plans
I am more comfortable with this than historical windows where we drag in someone to fit in the , breaking news 10 mins before deadline.
The management team have my support.

We really need a winger in, even more so if Bailey is leaving.

If Emi is to leave don't write off Barca buying Joan Garcia and sending him out on a long term loan. According to Fabio the purchase looks all but agreed, just Garcia to agree. Barca would then have 3 keepers fighting for one place and Garcia being the youngest could be sent out on loan. Not ideal for us but better than buying a second rate keeper.

Of course there's still the possibility Garcia tells Barca to do one and he'd prefer to sign for a club who have been interested in him since day 1.

Not sure, we already have Malen and we're struggling to give him or Bailey minutes towards end of season. Kind of depends if are we going to see our midfield setup tweaked a bit next season.

It's been reported here that English clubs are interested in Francisco Conceição from Porto who will still play for Juve in the Club World Cup. Price is €45m or €30m after the 15th of June.

I wonder if Emi might be a makeweight in some PSR thing with Man Yoo for Rashford, which is why the negotiations might be complex.

Malen will be more central I suspect and we definitely need pace out wide.

If the point of Emi leaving is reducing the wages and we replace him with Rashford I think I’d rather keep Emi as I reckon the wages and fee would be similar.

It’d be easier to find a quick wide player than a keeper of Emi’s standard.

[RamboandBruno]

Im ready to be completely shot down, but the idea of Emi Martinez moving to this man u rabble is hilarious. Why would he move there, more money, ok a bit, but not as much as Saudi, more trophies, er no, maybe Atletico…..maybe just stay at Villa

Yep.  Malen didn't look convincing out wide in the system we play on the few occasions he featured out there.  Looked far more comfortable in a central position.

I think quite a few may agree (myself included), but then again I doubt anyone thinks Disasi is a right back but he gets played there.

he's the new Carlos Cuellar
