I very much doubt it. It’s unlikely we would have been able to keep it quiet.
Isn’t that our way?
Secret Santa gifts need to be under $20.
I don’t think it is for every deal we make. A lot of the players we have signed have had rumours floating around before the deal got done and I think this time round there is so much attention on us that it is difficult to see it not slipping out somehow.
I don’t know I would say the last one is Thiago, I would assume one of those that has appeared is probably someone we targeted.
Like that German lad.
the next 24 hours can’t come round fast enough, get this mess over with and lets look forward to the season (& world cup) ahead.
Its Newcastle
It’s………Rebekah Vardy
Ok Douglas Luiz. Ex Man City. Now Villa.
I know nothing about him. Anyone got a scouting report?
Found this.
With Hendo now out we need to do something
Would be a crying shame to spend £20m on Luiz when Villa picked up a better player to replace him for nowt in the summer.
They didn’t. Luiz and Kamara are different types of players for one. Luiz would be the more defensive 8 in our system, Kamara couldn’t play that.
Milner??
Isn’t he only out for 2 weeks???
Is it a thiago or Keita '2 week injury" thsts about 2 months ? Plus We have about 4 games in those 2 weeks.
Add Hendo to the list of Ox, thiago, keita who are miss more and more games.
Criminal to go into this season with such an injury prone midfield…again.
So you’re saying that we ought to sign a player to a 5 year contract because of a short-term injury?
Kamara has replaced Luiz at the base of their midfield so yeah, they’ve picked up his replacement for nothing.
Would love to know how one suits a “defensive 8” and the other doesn’t given they carry a similar skillset. I bet we’d have said the same for Gini when he arrived as an “attacking 8” from Newcastle.
Are our midfield injuries short term?
