The College Dropout

We need Dubs tbf

Defensive lads + a top RW and I'm good. Keep the band together largely. Almiron out for 20m to Saudi.

Would love to finish above Man U personally.

Nigerian bias though init. I'm happy with the Tosin signing. Just don't want us to checkmate ourselves on silly wages. I don't think we will though.

Aye but Kamara is a starter and a top performer. Likewise though - Luiz and McGinn should want his money when they renew. The good thing about Tosin & Kelly is they won't come in as our highest earners like I assume Tielemans & Kamara did. Tosin and Kelly might move the wage floor for squad members. And better yet, the players they are replacing - might not get new contracts beyond their existing ones anyway due to age.. or will settle for a lower wage due to age (Schar and Burn). Tielemans and Kamara are top earners (I assume) and McGinn & Luiz are in their primes. They will want 3-5 year deals on the megabucks Villa have shown they will pay. It raises the ceiling. What should Watkins earn? Martinez? etc.

I agree on not spending loads no a backup striker. That Barnes transfer still doesn't make sense to me but they still did it so who knows. Still starting Murphy and Almiron ffs.

Stupid of them.

Cicinho. The pace fooled me.

Well deserved.

Did start at City but didn't go to Villa. That's more Douglas Luiz path.

I haven't seen anything from Tosin to suggest he's better than Schar. He's quicker and better in the air but I don't know his game like that. Doesn't strike me as a baller like Fabian. I like what I see though. I like his profile. I assume Tosin will compete with Burn to partner Schar at the beginning of the season.

But we've not seen how Tammy has recovered from the ACL. He scored 8 league goals in the season prior and must be on massive wages. I don't know man. Wilson is a much better finisher than Tammy. Near enough fully amortised fee, ok wages. I'm a staunch Wilson supporter me. Scored more goals this season than Tammy has in the last 2 seasons combined.

100% a baller. Without Schar and Trippier. We need someone that can spot a pass from deep that isn't Bruno. He can go on to become a much better version of Zinchenko. Zinchenko can do the line breaking passes but that's really it. He's a victim 1v1 and makes poor defensive choices.

For as long as i've been following NUFC we've never had such a physically imposing 11. I like that a lot. I liked Colo a lot. But i really didn't like how often he was beaten in the air. A CB shouldn't get mugged in the air often. The game has evolved. But be strong, win your headers, make blocks etc. Make teams beat your with ability.

If this is true - this is a heck of a lot. I would expect around £70k or close to whatever Schar and Botman are. But not more unless he is coming to start. The bad thing about free transfers is they can wreck the entire wage structure. This is one of Villa's bigger long-term issues. If Tielemans is on £150k, when it's time for McGinn & Kamara's renewal - they need £160k at a minimum. They start full strength, Tielemans does not. The wages killed Leicester in the end. ----- All of what i said is null and void if we execute a top strategy to increase the revenue.
