Can't see any room for Buendia with Guessand and potentially Asensio and Jackson ahead of him. He'll end up at Leeds or somewhere.

We have to keep some semblance of a squad, still potentially another 50+ game season ahead

Wonder where Lewis Dobbin will end up?
Out of sight, out of mind. He seems to have become our invisible man.

Watkins’ replacement.

Highly doubt that.

He was involved in pre season games, so still around

Will not be impressed if they think they can get away with just paying him two days a week.

Well you wouldn't want to spend more than two days per week there, would you?

Trossard has signed a new contract at Arsenal so it won’t be him as some rumours suggested.

🚨 Aston Villa remain adamant that Ollie Watkins will not be sold to accommodate a new signing. Emery ideally wants to add another dimension to his attack with a player who can play alongside Watkins or in another position slightly behind him.

Doesn't make any sense to bring in Jackson if Ollie is staying. We have seen this movie before.

Is Guessand not our backup option to Ollie and/or Malen? I've never seen Guessand play.

The position behind Watkins is Asensio most likely, granted Asensio didn't lay on a single assist for Ollie last season.

Ademola Lookman’s entourage has been talking to teams after his transfer to Inter fell through. 

Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham, Manchester City and Aston Villa have all been contacted in the last 48 hours.
