Enzo looks like one i think we will try profit from. Would like to have seen him given a chance tbh

Needs must.

🚨 NEW: Enzo Barrenechea is one of Real Betis’ preferred options to replace Johnny Cardoso — he is open to negotiations, Aston Villa are open to negotiations.
@alvaritomfs

Good player, but I don't think he's mobile enough for the Premier League.

Thinks it one we might regret. He looks a very decent player seeing the clips of him at valencia

Nah, La Liga is pretty poor. Betis folded like chumps against Chelsea in the Europa Vauxhall final. Hopefully Enzo's grit will stop the same thing happening next time, should they get there during his probable three years at the club.

If we think he’s going to improve, then we have the option to sell him relatively cheaply, but the deal is heavily loaded with buy back or sell on clauses.

We'll be looking to bring down the age of the squad & by default the wages. Also the fringe players who didn't contribute much. This will be Martinez, Digne, Bailey & those who were loaned out.

Those coming in will potentially be around for 7-8 years & will hopefully go up in value. Next season it'll be Mings & McGinn. Hopefully we can see some of the youth squad coming through as first team regulars. This would allow us more freedom to recruit key positions with proven players.

Martinez and Digne didn’t contribute much….what post are you on??

Digne won't be going for as much as that.

Agree…£8-10m tops

@alvaritomfs

It comes down to this..::is he going to oust Tielemans, Kamara or Onana….no….also unlikely Barkley as he’s relatively cheap in wages ( I’m summising)

Good player, but I don't think he's mobile enough for the Premier League.

The key word is also.
The age & wages - Martinez & Digne
Those who didn't contribute - Bailey & loaned players.

Well, if we're really after the young Betis winger Rodrigues I expect both clubs can come to some mutually agreeable deal which will alleviate any potential PSR issues.

Johnny Cardoso is the squealer in Jackson Heights who knows how to find Gino 'The Genius' Polidozzi.

Louie Barry, Barranechea and KKH out this week.  Financial doom mongering ended and 5 players in on the strength of Martinez and Digne sales.  Already got a CB and attacker coming in.  Johnathan David arrives along with Chevalier and an as yet unnamed RB.  That's my summer sorted I'll see you all on opening day.

I don't think we are going to buy anyone and are just going to go with what we have got for another season.
