grealish should be priority if theres any hope of us getting him. then its getting a whole new back four, and probably a new striker is kanes off. oh and a keeper too. busy summer indeed. expect alfie devine to break through this year, that kid looks like he has that real specialness about him already.

im more looking forward to seeing the back of some of these useless wankers than i am people coming in, never detested so many players at once. proper dirty wage thiefs

That ship had sailed after he renewed his contract. Even if Levy has a change of heart (unlikely) and starts to spend, Grealish would be overpriced at the fee Villa would sell.

We have an insidious core that needs gutting.

Some are bad apples some are just bad players but you can see that no matter the positive energy the likes of PEH and Reguilon may have brought in they would have been brought down by misery guts Winks and Dele plotting in the corner. The French Mafia swanning about half asleep not giving a fuck. And then pure trash like Doherty and Dier stinking the place up.

I honestly don't care if we hover around midtable for a couple of seasons if I can see change and a lot of turnover.

It's just a mess and so much work needs doing and we lack the infrastructure to do it.

If God is great we will never see Dele, Winks, Aurier, Sissoko or Sanchez in a match day squad again after this weekend but I have no confidence in our transfer dealings that this will happen.

The likes of Lamela, Lucas, Davies, Dier and Doherty should be upgraded but they are not a priority based on the application we see on the pitch and stories about them off it (Doherty the jury is obviously out).

The other 5 simply must go.
 
He was what 25m?

Any chance we get a Kane replacement for anything close to that? Plus we get the benefit of having him all year.

Another frustrating miss from our transfer team.
It was £34m with add ons I believe. I have a good memory for transfer fees. I can remember how much players were sold for, back in the seventies.
 
He offers very little other than scoring goals and is very reliant on other players creating those chances for him to finish. I think there is a clear floor with him but he will limit our attack with how little he can do other than finish moves created by others.

I think for his cost we could get a better player at another position to create those chances and get someone cheaper to finish them.
Weird in how you got there in the first paragraph (in that similar can be said of Kane) but the conclusion is sound. In fact, that conclusion is always sound because strikers don't create their own goals. We need to stop crediting Harry with that elusive and illusory ability.
 
surely if we get 100+ for kane we need to get at least one marquee player in. we cant be taking 40m gambles like we have been.
If Kane is sold, we indeed can afford a marquee signing, but it doesn't mean we can pull it off as we want. Grealish holds all the card last window, but he didn't try to push for the move, and Villa didn't blink at their hard ball. Now with his new contract, Villa can ask for whatever we would sell Kane for. We're just not in strong position to negotiate. If only there are a host of other options at similar price, it would be feasible. That's my point.
 
Assuming we don't sell Kane this summer

Should sell/banish to Mordor:
Dier, Winks, Sissoko, Lamela, Hart, Aurier

Maybe sell, maybe don't, depends on the offer, whatever:
Dele, Lucas, Sanchez, Doherty, Lloris

Should buy (at least):
1-2 RB/RWB, 1 CM, 1 CB, 1 ST, 1 GK

Realistic targets (price, desire to leave/be sold, linked with, etc..):
Tariq Lamptey, Jayden Bogle, Yves Bissouma, Joachim Andersen, Patson Daka, Mike Maignan

All of this obviously will be driven by the new manager (and hopefully DoF), so that needs to be sorted ASAP, hopefully next week.
Lamptey, Bissouma & Daka are very high on my wishlist.
I am completely prepared for is to not even be as much as linked to them though 😫

Barcelona might be looking to move Griezmann on, he's 30 but is still a very capable forward.

Might fancy a move to London/Premier League, can't see any of United, Chelsea, City or Liverpool being interested.
 
bus-conductor bus-conductor Five Five and any other professional scouts. What do you know of Mahdi Camara at St. Etienne? Seems to be a similar build and profile to Bissouma.
