If we buy him will you bow to your sensei?

In light of the above.

I give you a 4.8% chance of being correct.

What do you make of him? Seeing Soucek type play like me?

That article is weird, saying hes rated at €12mil but could move for €25mil.

Looks like he can play CM and also in the Doucoure role, just like Alcaraz.

is that article the equivalent to team talk here

Apparently this Merlin is magic.

No

We had the wizardry of Thelwell to generate a profit and still bring in sizeable numbers.

We dont know if we will see an upgrade (like the RS) with a transfer committee...or a major downgrade like Moyes last 3 clubs.

Will be a similar formula this summer I'd imagine. New stadium will help in the pitch but ultimately finishing 16th or 17th as could still happen isn't going to get top level players queuing to sign just yet.

Ideally you find another two Ndiaye types for full back and midfield. Guys who out of favour for one reason or another at top level clubs but still at good age and top level experience. Could add O'Brien as he was clearly at a level to play more in August-September but Dyche in his wisdom spectacularly ballsed that up.

The key this summer is Doucs, DCL, Keane, Holgate and Young all going. Huge amount of wages off the books so good flexibility to target younger players who won't command as much but can grow into excellent long term prospects.

Will be an experienced player in the mix. Inevitably Barkley will be linked. Done well for Villa when he's played but hasn't featured since Jan 11th which hints at the cons of getting him back.

"Despite injury issues" has always worked out well for us in the past.

Would love someone like Muniz btw. Has struggled for game time with Raul Jimenez getting back into form but having another good end to a season.

17 prem goals since Feb 2024.

He's had a knee injury nothing bad like.

We'd hardly be singing a 30 year old crock ha

 

[blue to the bone]

I suspect we will be linked with upwards of 200 players this Summer.

Hopefully they all get their own thread here too!

Don't sign anyone from Southampton...No one.

I would take a chance on Fernandez at southampton, will be there player of the year first year in EPL 20 years old. Remember Gana was in a shocking Villa side when we picked him up.

Genuinely wouldn't take any of them.

Not even that Dibling.

Had 2 bids turned down in Jan.

Was maybe too sudden for Freiburg. They need some more time to look for replacement, I reckon. I'd take him.

 

[Zatara]

I'd be absolutely all over this one mate.

Where would you see him playing?

Do you agree that he looks like Soucek?

Im not particularly bothered about this one...

Missed alot of Germany u21 games.

Outside of one or two like Musiala, I dont see any young-ish German players in the full or u21 international groupa who look particularly wow.

Finn Jeltsch looks the exception...

Genuinely wouldn't take any of them.

Not even that Dibling.

Why?

Sign Hume at Sunderland to play right back. Ready for the step up
