We’ve had a £7m bid accepted for Saman Ghoddos - yeah I’ve no idea either.
Striker who scored 4 times in the French top flight last season...
Love the ambition of a £7m bid, trust the DoFs to put it in the right place.
To be honest there are rumours about 3-4 strikers at the moment, so it's difficult to tell what is true or not. It might be that we're looking to bring in both.
I really hope this is true - Arlind Ajeti apparently due in for a medical tomorrow. Deal not fully agreed yet but like the Mbuemo deal we're hoping the visit will help convince him to join.
Was going to say the same thing - we pay a lot of ours up front (as it generally means you can lower the fees a little), but then ask for payments in via installments.
The Sky reports were up before I said I didn't think it was true - Sky & O'Rourke's reports are just quoting footballinsider247 which is hardly reliable, and he doesn't really fit the mould for signings that we typically make - can't remember the last 29 year old we signed who'll likely have...
Wouldn't believe that one.
Annoyingly, sounds like Benrahma to Villa is happening, which would be another huge blow, probably our best player last year.
Sounds like our main striker targets are Ajeti from Basel (wants a PL move, but like Mbuemo we might be able to get him here if nothing materialises in the next couple of days) and Kulenovic of Legia Warsaw - don't know much about him, young Croatian.
Apparently Barnsley are also in for...
One of the oddest rumours of the window, we’re being linked with Alfredo Morelos.
Just can’t see any way that could possibly happen, think someone is on a wind up.
They’ve just reported the up front fee, quite common for media outlets to do that with transfer deals - certainly the case for most of ours in the past, I don’t see the issue here?
Maupay officially gone. Probably the best player we’ve had in my time outside of Benrahma. Shame he’s gone but the money will help us build a much better team (hopefully).
Hoping the Ajeti link comes through, need a top quality striker to come in.
I would have said it’s ridiculous, but when players like Webster are going for £20m, the fee then seems about right. (Webster is great too, the fees for both are ridiculous)
Hilarious that Brighton could just have spent £10m or less if they’d bought the players before we did, now they’re...
Maupay travelling for a medical with Brighton. Not everything agreed yet but a deal in principle that including add ons takes the deal to £25m plus a sell on
It’s quite exciting, though never nice losing good players late on.
Dru Yearwood confirmed signing this afternoon from Southend, my guess is this means Mokotjo is moving on.
We’ve put in another bid for Lowe, but will leave it if rejected again. We’ve got two strikers lined up if Maupay goes.
We’ve signed Bryan Mbuemo, fee of £4m rising to £6.5m, potentially our record signing!
Lots of jokes on our forum that Villa are already preparing a £30m bid for next summer.
With a couple more deals in the works, we should break £30m spent this summer.
