I think a lot would agree that getting someone else to add to what we have in midfield is a priority, just not the top priority for this window. Hopefully it will be Archie Gray when he can get back to where he is supposed to be playing.

The jury is still out on 3 of them
Villa have signed Donny Mallen, Marcus Rashford and Marco Asensio.
Thats a win now chairman right there. Cant fault the ambition.

Come on, you're better than that. I'm asking the owners to change their risk profile, which they need to do as much as their opinion of worth of the club. Not be reckless. There is a huge difference between spending our wage levels v turnover and theirs. Not sure it even needs explaining.
If Rice or Grealish were elite transfers, Marmoush was.
Liverpool bought Darwin for 90m as an elite player because of what he’d done in the champions league. His hype was that he was elite.
Haaland like you said. It happens
Have to agree. City has not bought many elite players in a while. Gvardiol, Haaland, Dias come to mind.
The midfield and wide men massively need upgrading. Gundogan, De Bryne, Silva, Doku, Graelish need to go.
If Woolwich or Liverpool or Utd had the window we just had, he’d be lauding it all over the shop.
HahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahHahHH
We mustn't do a Leeds
Incredible
Exactly. Entertaining melts peaked at that witch from Oz.
Always a snide and doomsday tone when it comes to us, it's probably been heightened by the fact that we're a bit shit now but the undercurrent is always there.
Thats a very expensive deal. I think Levy really wants this guy and hopes that by giving him games and letting him see the stadium, training ground and London life he can convince him to stay long term.
I think Levy gets more enjoyment out of making superstars than buying them.

Hahaha, what a muppet. Made me think of the Big Lebowski.
"Son plays on the left, Solanke through the middle and then they've got Son on the left. I mean, where's he gonna play?"
What Villa have done IS reckless...... 92% wagebill BEFORE Rashford!!!
They don't even have a fit senior striker now.
(Rashford says he doesn't want to play CF)
It seems pretty likely that Gray is shaping up to be an elite CDM. By the time he's bulked up in a few years, he'll be there or thereabouts.
"Could pay" infers some of that loan fee is performance based, structured in such a way that if he were to meet the full stipulations of that 10m euro fee it would be peanuts compared to what he'd contributed in that time.
Playing at CB will only help him in the future as well IMO, he will have a better understanding of the game having seen attacks develop from further back and will better understand what is needed of him as a 6 shielding the defence. I'm glad he hasn't spent too much time playing as one of Ange's weird inverted full backs, not exactly sure how well that translates to being the destroyer we need in midfield.
He is so mature beyond his years as well, his ability to put his hand up and admit the mistakes, as well as learn from them and carry the responsibility his squad place demands rather than hide behind his age is very commendable, we have a future captain there mark my words.
I didn't say they were.
Expensive does not mean elite..... You know this.
(Stop trying to contort the phrase-ology too.... "elite trfs".....? LOL)
Haha..... Now I know you're shit-housing me.
"hype"?
Hype does not mean he was a proven "elite" player.
Extremely rarely...... Which is the point to which you're failing to counter.
It's extremely rare because the type of players that you seem to be allowing to fit the criteria are extremely rare. That's it. Not because Prem clubs don't want to buy them. How many Prem clubs would love to buy Nico Williams? The issue is that his club understand how rare he is as well so it's going to be a battle between the biggest clubs in the world, of which only some of them are in the Prem.
Where I will agree with you is Chelsea. They seem to be a bit burned by Caicedo and have changed the profile they want to recruit now. All about young players for them and talent hoarding now. In the past they were trying to sing superstars.
Fair point mate,
