His missus used to play for our ladies team before moving to Villa. Would be ironic if he moved the other way!El brooko79 wrote: ↑Sun May 08, 2022 7:10 pm Apparently Douglas Luiz isn't signing a new contract with Villa.
Would be decent for £25m.
He isn't a proper DM as he has been played by Villa but good passer and would excel with a bit more freedom.
Couldn't be played as the deep CM but with one of Rice/Soucek think it would be a good signing.

Buendia managed to stand out in that team in midfield and earned a move to Villa for £38m.Ironing Board wrote: ↑Sun May 08, 2022 7:47 pm Hard to stand out in that team. Gilmour needs to be in a better side. He would actually be great for us as he is more of a defensive midfielder. Him and Rice would be a really good partnership
It would be the sort of pairing that would mature into a European class engine room.
Just admit it, Scotland bias aside, he's not that good.

Though Buendia stood out in the Championship. Completely different ball game.Wormley The 2nd wrote: ↑Sun May 08, 2022 7:59 pm Buendia managed to stand out in that team in midfield and earned a move to Villa for £38m.

Re: The Summer Transfer Thread 2022.
Barring Wolves getting 4 points from Liverpool and Man City, we will be playing in Europe again next season, were more likely to be in the Europa league again. Viera will desperately want his decent Palace side to beat Man U, and i think we will be a lot more up for our final Fixtures than the Man U players who’ve just had their wages cut by 25%. It looks like $purs won’t make the Champions league, so they wont have much money and consequently there’s a very high probability Conte will be off. We should be able to attract a better class of player with our performances and with what we’ve achieved the past two seasons, especially with only Man CIty, Liverpool, Arsenal and possibly Chelsea having money, although the latter are running at close to 100M loss without Abramavic’s top ups.

Re: The Summer Transfer Thread 2022.
It’s moments like this where good managers make their decisions count. I don’t know if Gilmour is worth buying but Too often seen players written off when in reality they have little to play for in whatever their present situation and in a hopeless team. So I wouldn’t judge too much on the present form more on form over a longer period.The Old Man of Storr wrote: ↑Sun May 08, 2022 4:59 pm He wasn't Happy today was he ?
Maybe playing with better footballers around him might help but in truth he was pretty inconspicuous .

GK
CB
CM
LW/AM
CF
Whether it’s Pope from Burnley, or Phillips/Raphinha from Leeds. Lewis-Potter and/or Lingard. Striker, I have no idea.
This is a pivotal summer. Depending on whether we get Europe and which team gets relegated, there could be opportunities available that might not have otherwise been.

Googled her thinking she might be a footballer. Turns out that's not important.

Re: The Summer Transfer Thread 2022.
Going to be a tighter financial market for football clubs
I see juve are setting a wage ceiling if 165k
Thinking about it if there was a 200k a week offer to decs I can’t see many clubs matching it

Re: The Summer Transfer Thread 2022.
Lewis Potters goalscoring stats are just fine... but I think we've been struggling for creativity recently and, if I'm honest, I'm slightly concerned by his stat of just 3 assists over a whole season in the Championship.
