Expected them to be pulled apart this summer as they (like us 3-4 seasons ago) have a lot of talented young players.

SuperSAINT Posted 10 July, 2019 Share Posted 10 July, 2019 Konsa to Villa? VILLA CLOSE IN ON KONSA Aston Villa are closing in on the signing of Brentford centre-back Ezri Konsa, Sky Sports News understands. Talks are understood to be progressing over a £12m deal, which would trigger a release clause in his contract. Earlier this month Sky Sports News revealed that Brentford’s West London rivals Fulham were keen to sign Konsa on loan. But he looks set to join back up with ex-Bees boss Dean Smith at Villa Park, as the newly-promoted side add more defensive options on top of the signing of Tyrone Mings. Brentford, of course, brought in Pontus Jansson from Leeds at centre-back this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Garrett Posted 10 July, 2019 Share Posted 10 July, 2019 Probably means we're stuck with Stephens which is a shame, maybe Leeds might be interested having lost Janssen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst form can change, Wilson got off to a flyer two seasons ago before picking up a bad injury. He followed that with an excellent season last time around. I think he is an excellent striker and am very surprised he hasn't been snapped up by one of the big 6. I think all, except maybe City, could find a place in their squad for him. I guess the question mark is over his fitness/ability to avoid further injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Fulham, half their promotion squad was on loan, they have no choice but to buy a new team.Yes, the harsh reality of winning promotion with a borrowed team. Their first XI next season will look nothing like the team that got promoted - that's why it'll be so hard to stay up. They're essentially starting again from scratch, give or take. I think they've made some good signings, though. Massively overpaid, but it is what it is. They're worth it if the team survives.

SNSUN Posted 11 July, 2019 Share Posted 11 July, 2019 This is a club who are supposedly operating a meagre transfer budget this summer. If I read it right, the signing of Saliba doesn’t affect their summer transfer budget of £45 million, presumably because it’s made up of future payments. Which makes it a sensible deal. What is baffling is they’ve been linked with attacking players like Zaha (who they’ll never afford unless Palace accept players as part exchange) and Fraser but barely a sniff of a centre back. Granted they’ve been linked with Tierney at left back but they already have Kolasinac and Monreal. They’re a mess and £45 million isn’t enough to sort it out IMO.

SuperSAINT Posted 12 July, 2019 Share Posted 12 July, 2019 (edited) Villa bid for Tom Heaton. VILLA HAVE HEATON BID REJECTED Aston Villa have had a speculative bid for goalkeeper Tom Heaton rejected and classed as derisory by Burnley, according to Sky sources. Sources in the Midlands have told Sky Sports News that Villa’s opening move was to gauge Burnley’s reaction, which was emphatic in response to a bid they felt was too low. We understand Heaton is not the only goalkeeper Villa are interested in, with another as-yet unnamed player also a strong target. Villa are big admirers of Heaton but have reservations over getting value for money for the 33-year-old, who is entering the final year of his Burnley contract and struggled with a shoulder injury last season.

SuperSAINT Posted 12 July, 2019 Share Posted 12 July, 2019 West Ham in talks with Haller HAMMERS IN HALLER TALKS West Ham have opened talks with Eintracht Frankfurt over the transfer of striker Sebastien Haller, according to Sky sources. The Bundesliga club are believed to wan at least £40m for the 25-year-old, who scored 20 goals in all competitions last season. Haller’s representatives are ready to fly to London to discuss terms once a deal is agreed, and both sides increasingly hopeful a deal can be done.
