shocking lol. Atletico made a huge mistake when they signed him, then a bunch of other clubs just doubled down on that mistake...the guy is shit, nothing will change that.

    jones you need to lean in. If you want to finish 5th, you don't take risks. you do the ordinary. i think Calafiori can go both ways. On the one hand, he might end up an injury issue like Jesus or Tomi. Both of these are fantastic players - but what good are you if you don't show up. On the other hand, his ability to drive at teams, his confidence in the final third could turn him into a star. If he's healthy, I expect him to play a prominent role in the Champs League knockouts

      HomeSteak the way Villa is moving makes me think the striker transfer is still open to us. The only possily available striker who will be better than Watkins over the next 18 months is Isak. If we have 80% confidence we are getting Isak, we should stay away from Watkins. If we don't have certainty over an Isak move, we must take Watkins now.
      IF Watkins is actually available to us, not taking Watkins now so we can wait 6 months for a kid like Sesko still leaves us short another top forward who can contribute big numbers immediately. Because I would be surprised if Sesko unseated Harvertz immediately

        tel on loan with an option would be decent business. don't really want us dropping 60m on him

        edit - forgot we cant actually take on any more loans. we must be exploring a permanent transfer

          Gazza M we can't take any more PL players on loan. Can take players from other leagues.

            Qwiss getting both is a pipe dream. Tel wouldn’t join if we signed Watkins anyway as it would seriously affect his mins.

            It’s one or the other. I don’t care who, just close one of them.

              GooneriC score vs United 14 minutes after you posted this
              Onana is abysmal

                GooneriC said we should get him last week, too. Just scored against Manure.

                  60 hahah

                  Spurs getting rejected by everyone. Not that we can laugh...

                  Tel’s faulty logic must be “Zirkzee and co are so shit that I will definitely play”

                  In case you couldn't Tel, we clearly don't need Watkins if we can beat City 5-1.

                  We need a killer in the box , that completes this team

                    Gyokeres isn't an option? I wonder why

                    This performance would have made us even more attractive to potential transfers... And tamps down the immediate cries for a new striker, so teams like Villa know we can afford to pull out of negotiations if they are being unreasonable.

                      Kai still missed one of the worst sitters I’ve ever seen.

                      This result doesn’t change anything. Let’s not get complacent over one game. If anything it shows we can still do something this season and even more reason to sign a striker.

                      27 hours left. Let’s not fuck around. The feel good factor of today can be evaporated in one single day if we don’t sign anyone.
