Anyone think we should snatch up Mane from Wolves?
I thought snatching a mane is a red-card offence?

That joke should be a red card offence 😉

Says Tielemans will be leaving….just as we go into three of the most important games this season🤷

Youri is easier to replace than kamara though if we had to sell one..even onana would be hard to replace.  If onana wasnt always injured he would be irreplaceable

That sort of suggests that we do replace him. Regularly.

It's going to be an interesting window, that's for sure.

I'd prefer to get business done early but with a quarter of the world at the World Cup anything can happen .

A second perfectly cushioned assist in successive games from JJ today. We're now in the CL, they're not, bring him home.

Bardell wants Curtis Jones, the silly fugger.
He was their driving force in that 25 min spell in the first half on Friday that Liverpool dominated.

Rogers to Chelsea/ManUtd/Arsenal or PSG according to talk sport via BBC gossip.

How do Chelsea find themselves in that list? Surely they are screwed and if not it’s further proof the football world is rigged.

I don’t listen to Talksport but every time a Villa player is linked to Chelsea it’s a Talksport story.
Are they a mouthpiece for Chelsea or something?

Rogers isn’t going to Chelsea. He’s already got Champions League football at Villa, if he goes anywhere the team he goes to is going to have to be offering that. I maintain, short of an insane offer we’d be nuts to sell.

If he emerges as one of the stars of the World Cup then he probably goes to Bayern, PSG or (potentially) a Manchester club for north of £100m.

If that doesn't happen, he'll be with us next season.

They are out of contention of spending the sort of money that would be needed to buy Rogers though.
