They absolutely do. I have heard it’s definitely happening, from a friend with villa connections.
FFP means they’re shopping in a cheaper bracket. Plus home grown, etc. makes him a great fit.
The worrying part is that our centre back recruitment has largely been poor for years now.
I accept that we can’t stand in his way if Villa are really in for him, but I just hope our recruitment is up to scratch
Wouldn’t be saints without copious amounts of drama.
Selling THB this close to the end of the window would definitely be drama. So it will almost certainly happen
I really struggle to see how he fits in our squad tbh.
Hes not a target man, he’s not that pacey. He doesn’t appear to have the touch/guile of a 10
So far he reminds me of Archer but without the shooting ability. Hope he settles down and it works out, but I think it’s a weird signing.
Sadly, I agree, complete waste to have Scienza in the middle, need him causing problems outside.
Very early days for Dobbin, so not gonna judge him yet. But not seeing anything that makes me think he’s an upgrade so far.
