Some papers have us linked with the defender mina from Barcelona you know the one that Man Utd want for 40 million.
Where do the journalists get this crap from?



02 Aug 2018 22:03:55
Read that myself yesterday Lol, said we had put in a 20 million bid after Man Utd had bid 40 million, pile of $hit.



02 Aug 2018 16:43:44
By all accounts you can get loans in up to 31st august,
This applies to championship clubs,
Must admit did not know that until just seeing it in paper
Only permanent signing to be done for next week!



02 Aug 2018 18:41:07
I didn't know either.



02 Aug 2018 19:20:17
I have just looked this up it's true. Loans with or with out option to buy untill 31/ 8/ 2018.



02 Aug 2018 19:24:54
Yes you can.



02 Aug 2018 19:28:36
I have just read conflicting articles on this Mainbob so I'm uncertain myself at the moment, here is a quote from the Mirror.

"That means any loan deals now have to be completed inside the two designated transfer windows.

So once that window shuts, you're stuck with what you've got.

Unless of course your club can nab up a talented superstar on a freebie - but don't count on it".



02 Aug 2018 19:31:51
Any idea's which is right? confused!



03 Aug 2018 07:16:26
Full transfers close on 9th, loans for EFL clubs only until 31st.
Rest of the world keep their own deadlines which still allows them to buy UK based players.



02 Aug 2018 13:39:57
I feel sure that Jack now wants the move and fair play to him, I wish him well. Replacement wise, we do already have young talent coming through and with Jack out of the spotlight maybe it is time for someone else to shine, opportunities will arise throughout the season for someone to do just that. I do however see a few last minute deals going through so who knows what the squad may look like early doors but changes will occur as the season progresses as always, be it with injuries or through a dip in form. An interesting few days awaits that is for sure. UTV.



02 Aug 2018 14:06:42
I also wish Jack all the best where ever he ends up,
Just hope we get the best deal money wise,
With levy he will wait as long as as it takes to get him for way below his true value,
I for one will be very disappointed if he goes for under25-30 mill.
And I don't want any of there cast offs either,
Got a feeling levy will throw in a player to tempt us,
Just sting the bas***d as much as you can,



02 Aug 2018 15:04:14
If Danny Ings is worth 25M then Jack Grealish is worth at least 35M - If we sell him for any less that 30M plus a player I will be astounded.



02 Aug 2018 15:31:45
I agree bk1982,
He is worth 35mill,
Just don't see us getting that figure,
We could get more from Chelsea but spurs under levy will not get anywhere near that figure,
He is a miser well known for being very prudent with his money,
Yet on the other foot he gets massive money when he is selling,
At least we have owners with very deep pockets to lighten the blow.



02 Aug 2018 15:49:44
I think he may go between 25 - 30 million although if other players are thrown into a deal who knows. Hopefully we will get the right deal for him if he is to leave but that may mean him not going to Spurs.



02 Aug 2018 16:30:35
Levy will send us back onoma on loan,
Hope not he did not impress me all that much,
Just hope we don't fall for his under handed tricks,



02 Aug 2018 16:35:12
I vaguely remember Spurs panic buying Sissoko late in the window and paying 35M for him? Or am I mistaken?

We play our first game of the season on Monday, the transfer deadline is the following Thursday, the fact is Spurs don't have a huge amount of time to haggle, especially now we don't have to sell. I think we will hold out for 30-35M and if Spurs offer that he will go, if not then he stays.

If Grealish stays then with a few sneaky loans we are good to go.



02 Aug 2018 16:45:29
Hope you are right BK.



02 Aug 2018 18:21:49
End of the day if we value him at £35 million and no club matches that offer then the player stays, it’s as simple as that.
Stop banging on about what we might get or what spurs might offer end of the day we don’t have to sell and if Grealish gets upset over the move not happening I’m sure he will soon knuckle down and give his all for the club he loves.



02 Aug 2018 18:53:44
In an ideal world perhaps Malc1976, but maybe the sale of Grealish was always part of the master plan to help bridge FFP which still remains an issue, let's not forget that. Only the owners can really say how they intend to satisfy the F. A come March, so we all remain in the dark to an extent until that is clear, but until then it may still affect transfer policies of the club.



02 Aug 2018 11:37:22
If Grealish is to leave, how do we replace him?

We obviously cannot replace him directly, but can he be replaced in the aggregate? In other words could Grealish leaving, assuming we are allowed to spend some of the fee, strengthen the team?

I've mentioned it before, we need players in, is the hold up on signings dependant on the sale of Grealish? If so, and he does leave, who would you sign?

For me we need a CB x 2, RB, LW, ST and if Grealish leave a MF - Who would you like to see?

CB 1 - Axel Tuanzebe (LOAN)
CB 2 - Cameron Carter-Vickers (BUY)
LB - Jonas Knudsen (BUY)
MF - Ryan Woods (BUY)
ST - Tammy Abraham (LOAN)

Moreira

Hutton-Chester-Carter-Vickers-Knudsen

Woods-Bjarnason

Kodjia-Hourihane- Green

Abraham.



02 Aug 2018 12:07:22
Not Carter vickers he's awful, we want the rb from westham 600thou an he's better than any rb we have, agree with every1 thou if jck goes I'd replace with 1 of our own callum ohare.



02 Aug 2018 12:07:43
Bk1982

If grealish is to be sold I do like ryan woods.
Tammy Abraham would be a good loan,
I'm not a kodjia fan to be honest he is not a team player and his hold up play is not up to standard,
He can score goals but he haves to many games where he goes missing,
The others you put on that list is good enough for me,



02 Aug 2018 12:44:52
I don't know why we don't play Davis an use kodja on right wing with green on left.



02 Aug 2018 12:47:50
If you are a young player are you really going to come to villa I'm not being negative it's just we don't play our own an bruce hasn't got faith or trust in them so why would u risk coming to villa an not get played.



02 Aug 2018 13:29:18
That was the case but I wonder will Bruce be forced to change his policy? The owners seem to want to embrace youth, perhaps we are looking at young loans like Moreira and Abraham with an aim to buy them if we go up? Bruce may be force to play younger players if they are dropped on his lap.



02 Aug 2018 15:24:09
Hope so mate he needs to change or some1 younger with more attacking methods will get hired if things go wrong for us, owners will see what every1 else sees well nearly all of us boring footy, but I hope we can go 1 step further an go up then say bye bye to Bruce.

{Ed's Note - Ed001 has posted a new article entitled, Review Of The Day 2nd August 2018



01 Aug 2018 23:05:45
Reports suggest that Chelsea are coming in for Grealish, wonder if JT had some input on that?



02 Aug 2018 06:33:15
The reports say he recommended jack after being very impressed with him last season.



02 Aug 2018 09:06:05
If grealish goes to Chelsea then Abrahams could come into the deal?



02 Aug 2018 09:25:56
There were rumours of Chelsea wanting him earlier in the window as well. The talk then was signing him and loan back till the end of the season. But it all went away. But we shall see.



02 Aug 2018 13:23:53
I agree with Mainbob, Abrahams could well turn out to be a sweetner to seal the deal.
