Has to either be world class or a big talent, some of the replacement names on here is frankly embarrassing

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.

deoends what you think overpriced is. 80m is fair for a player of that quality in this current market. we paid 40 for that donkey sanchez..grealish is worth 10 of him
COVIDS happens, some expensive signings not working out, and the timing of our stadium project means 80mil now is a big deal under Levy or not,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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

If we do it right (IMO) then not a one. The only exception might be Hugo if we are letting him go on a free.
We don’t need a 30 year old. We need to just go young and give them a few years to learn to play with each other
Eh ever noticed what Cavani is doing at ManU? This obsession with age is ridiculous. If a player is good he must be brought in, "long term projects" are b.s
Fix it for you
Antonio Conte will be new manager.
Kane will go to City for 70m+ Ferren Torres.
bus-conductor
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.
We don’t have 1/4 of the squad they do. Cavani isn’t even a regular starter. He was brought in to be a super sub
Yeah. Fuck Levy right. Only signs kids with potential. Never gets experienced older players. Penny pinching bald bastard.
