So we’re not favourites to buy anyone. Rumour has it we are prioritising defensive signings though so no surprise. We have some great youngsters, Diangana, Holland etc. Not sure we need to buy any midfielders.
We need a decent strike for sure ..have done for years
Bookies on football are not a good guide to where players go, the reason Brentford players are linked to Villa is because Dean Smith was head coach at Brentford and knows the players, do they want to fight off relegation or are they ambitious, hard to see Villa being much better than last season and if Grealish goes…
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣so we are not favourites to land any of our targets…could understand if big clubs were there but we are behind teams like Aston villa and palace …they sure don’t see to be having problems trying to buy the odd player ..and there are transfers happening with other teams …not really sure what to make of it …seems to be the same things happening here again…yes we know it wont be like normal but just hearing all negative things is a bit strange imo
