I was taking a shot at Barkley, not Villa I’m not trying to be a dick to Villa but Barkley was a massive douche about playing for a bigger club. Forced his way to Chelsea and 2 years later he’s loaned to Villa. Its a good signing for Villa. Barkley is really talented but his ego is out of control.
I think it’s a win for all 3 parties. We lower our wage bill, he gets to play a lot more and make his case to southgate for the euros and villa get a player capable of being a match winner in the midfield.
Villa’s window signing Emi Martinez, Ollie Watkins, Bertrand Traroe, Matty Cash, and Barkley on loan is pretty tight
I’m really excited about this signing. He was the best player on the pitch during our Europa game the other day. Reading some Twitter feeds from people who follow that neck or the world he seems to be next best prospect after Erling Håland. Also this should end seeing Samu in the starting lineup.
Any update on this from your side? I know Milan have been linked but it seemed like he wanted to play in Germany
Not today yet but yesterday his name was all over the place. Our side generally goes radio silent for prospective signings not named Leroy Sané or CHO.
Good luck kid. Curious what the price tag on this transfer is. If played in an attacking role I think he could be good.
Milan under Maldini work in the same fashion. Basically we find out a transfer is made the day a medical is taken or officially announced by the clubs. Reporters are generally way off on the targets when they post rumors.
Yeah that’s our M.O. too until Uli Hoeneß old ass starts talking to the media. The word is there’ll be two signings before the window closes. I’d think Aarons is one of them, especially now that the Cuisance deal is done.
Dest is official. Barcelona have made so many bad signings over the last few seasons but this is a good one.
I really hope that conte does us a solid here. I wouldn’t be surprised at this point if Alonso and Emerson are both moved out. We could have 3 fullbacks on loan in serie A.
By my count now it’s: Failed medical Objections to repayment schedule Language used in buyback clause Total value of buyback
Oh I’m not doubting it at all, just noting the difference between English reporters with actual info and German reporters throwing shit at the wall.
CHO is stuck behind Pulisic and Ziyech as possibly 3rd option and wanting to go be behind Gnabry, Sané, Coman and Perišić is interesting
Perisic is back at inter, Sané is out at least a month and we play every 4 days this season. He’d get plenty of minutes imo.
Would be a great signing if they can get him on loan or for relatively cheap. People forget just how good he is.
And so it transpired on Thursday with two clubs — one understood to be from Serie A — opening negotiations over a permanent deal. As a result, Klopp took the decision to leave the £20 million-rated Shaqiri out of the squad for the Carabao Cup tie with Arsenal following discussions with sporting director Michael Edwards. That's all I've seen
I can’t see this happening unless Bayern pay more than they paid for sane with an obligation to buy. Chelsea only have 3 wingers including CHO so there would need to be more movement in if he left. If he leaves, he needs to play so going from 3rd choice at chelsea to 4th at Bayern seems a bizarre move but crazier things have happened.
