LeG

Yes, I believe that BBD and Downs are very close to moves. Should be very clear when the squad is announced for tomorrow. We do indeed need to sell to buy. I think we will buy @ CF, CM, RW & GK (3rd choice)

2 of those are basically gone.

Lazio have just agreed a deal for Sassuolo striker Andrea Pinamonti for €14m...could pave the way for Ratkov (who was an unused sub against Bologna) to move to saints...

Solak hasn't lied...we just need to sell before we buy. Think back to when we sold Dibling and bought Azaz, Fellows, Scienza and Jander with the money in the final few days of the window. Spors is a master of this.

Quite a few things are now in play. A low ball offer to unsettle the player. Makes sense from their point of view. Money we may still owe for Dobbin The sell on % we will owe City when this goes through. I think £28m + £5 add ons gets it done...we must be desperate for the money because we can't shift Ramsdale, Suga, Bazunu, BBD, Downs, JQ etc. I do think this is now a great opportunity to buy two brilliant CB's for this league and pair them up though. The only thing i would miss from THB is his passing and goals. He will have a lot to do if he wants to make the step up and play for Villa IMO. He will need exp next to him. Only time will tell if he can do it. I'm sure Spors has a few gems up his sleeve. They know the fanbase will be on edge, and they promised us an exciting squad. Peretz, Larin and Bree was an incredible start...but now they will be judged on who they bring in to replace Charles, THB and hopefully another CB + Striker. I'm still worried that Jander will also go.

If Azaz gets injured we have no no.10. Dobbin is decent in the middle - just didn’t get played there

Have you considered how we replace his goals?

Hope they don’t rip up the tree by their training ground.

And he’s not getting that many mins at Torino. Think he would do a job rotating with Larin.

Anyone else have a feeling we are going to bring Chele back? Not ITK on our striker…just a hunch….

Alluded to this in July last year. Dragan buying it all up. Started in 2025.

I think the Braggy comment is referencing what the Crawley manager said when he was on loan there, not Will Still.

If Tonda has to manage from the stands, imagine if he uses binoculars, an iPhone and some AirPods.

I think that depends if we put it in the mixer

This is a guess btw!
