Or the replacements we're signing could be better than them and we'll be Champions.

This is obviously going to happen.  8)

Has it been posted that Tom Collomose has tweeted that Arsenal are 'preparing' to bid for Konsa.

The last time we had a rebuild of this magnitude was 2015.  Exciting times - Amavi, Ayew, Traore, Richards, Lescott, Sinclair.  Veretout chose us over Leicester - worst decision of his career.

We had a pretty massive rebuild when we got promoted, and the season after that.

A lot of fans on social media getting all worked up of who we are losing. Until a player is stretching the shirt, I won’t believe any of it either way (comings or goings).
Let’s face it, if it ain’t on H&V, it ain’t worth knowing.

Chris you seem to be convincing yourself on several threads over several days that the big hitters are going. As I said earlier, letting Konsa & Rogers go on too of Digne and Tielemans, would be negligent and too destabilising. I just cannot see both going, whether Arsenal want them and they want to go or not. At least one of them is going to have to be told to take it on the chin.

A random transfer grumble - the amount of energy that must be wasted creating pointless AI images of players in shirts of teams they haven’t transferred to yet and situations around that theme. It adds absolutely nothing, zero, and it’s just utter slop.

Yep.
There's definitely something about rival clubs media-positioning bids for players at clubs that represent a threat - and this has consistently happened to Villa because we're perceived as 1. tight on finances, and 2. boxing above our weight.
There are times when I think our club could be more proactive about warning off others by simply saying that player X or player Y is not available.

In this instance, I only posted about a tweet from a well-known English journalist.  I don't think I've made any particular comment on Konsa. I don't think I've said Maritinez will go either.

But yes, I do think Rogers will probably go and have thought so for some time.  I think Konsa might, but it's less likely, particularly if he thinks he would be second fiddle to Saliba once fit. But 2 years on his contract could become an issue.

Arse - lets be clear

Rogers  - North of £120mil

Konsa - North of £75m

Both prem stars, both full Internationals

Both better than what you already have*

I would prefer Eze over Rogers if i was totally honest

Pay up or f*ck off

We might get north of £120m for Rogers, we won't get north of £75m for Ezri.
