Pedro Neto out for potentially up to 6 months means that's one signing that definitely won't be happening!

He's got a really low release clause, like £8m. Doesn't need to hand in a transfer request.Michael Olise from Reading get him now before his price goes through the roof. Still probably cost a nice chunk of change, not too much though as he'd probs hand in a transfer request. Also like lookman, if he didn't make it here he'd have sell on value.

yeah man I just saw that myself. surely its a no brainerHe's got a really low release clause, like £8m. Doesn't need to hand in a transfer request.
hahaha didn't see your post mate and replied to another sayin exactly same thing weve gotta be after him.You dont lose out on these type of sigings as you will always recoup the same fee if it doesnt work out
If they do work out then its happy days. But they are no brainers
Be an absolutely brilliant signing for us JWP if we could get him. Exactly what we need. I could see Southampton asking something silly for him tho like 55mill
me too man. we'd be able to offer him 1st team football too. some others are after him like Bayern and city apparently but we'd be perfect for his development imoOnly saw him play a couple of times but I'm already convinced he's quality.
Im just not that impressed.Not necessarily mate - plenty of decent players are playing at none Champions League sides look at Grealish who's been at Villa forever.
Not saying he's world class but we dont even have Europa Conference to offer players - the aim has to be buying players who are good enough to take us into Europa Conference / League then continue to build from there.
The only thing he lacks is raw pace (although he isnt slow like Gomes/Gylfi) however when Doucoure is fit its not really pace we need in the midfield thats more out wide where we have Holgate/Coleman and Iwobi/James who offer us little.
A midfield 3 of Doucoure, Allan and Gomes was fine at the start of the season it was only having James and a slow Coleman behind him out on the right that saw us struggle at times.
If you added JWP but then added two fast players on the right you dont need some speedster in midfield providing Doucoure plays.
Its also a myth that Sigurdsson is great at set pieces his corners and freekicks are bang average these days.
He’s has an 8mil buyout Clause apparentlyMichael Olise from Reading get him now before his price goes through the roof. Still probably cost a nice chunk of change, not too much though as he'd probs hand in a transfer request. Also like lookman, if he didn't make it here he'd have sell on value.
I agree jwp is so underrated. He literally does everything you want from a midfielder and he does it all well. Bissouma sick too but he's on everybodys radar atm. both of them seem to have no problems with fitness unlike our lot. can u imagine getting them 2 would be amazing.I really like him mate think him and Bissouma at Brighton are top quality albeit different players.
For me we cant rely on either James or Allan to stay fit for more than half the season so ideally we need 2 CM's - those two or even just the one coming in would be amazing depending on finances.
You dont play in a high press side like Southampton and be a slacker - lad presses, tackles, moves around and isnt static waiting for the ball, wicked set piece / cross delivery and can actually pass the ball forward as well.
Exactly what we need how?Be an absolutely brilliant signing for us JWP if we could get him. Exactly what we need. I could see Southampton asking something silly for him tho like 55mill
Jwp is way underrated he plays a deeper more conventional cm role than someone like grealish (who is way better) he's a more balanced but he's still managed to get 7 goals an 5 assists this season. Compare him to Doucs for us who plays a similar role. Doucs has been quality but he's got nowhere near the output of JwpIm just not that impressed.
Yes he can take a good set piece, and is neat and tidy. But he doesn’t run games, like Grealish. Who’s on another level to jwp.
I knew
You would mention Grealish, who’s only played 90 games in the prem. and 20 of them as a teenager. He’s spent 3 seasons in the championship. Jwp has played 260 games all prem. Grealish had a lot of
Faults as youngsters, but he’s been fantastic the last 2 yrs, really gone to another level, While Jwp has improved,
But only slightly over the years.
We never really know what goes on behind the scenes at clubs, but had anyone offered 40mil for jwp over the last couple of years and this summer, he’s gone. I reckon villa wouid have turned that money down 2yrs ago. And Grealish would cost at least double now.
I just don’t see how jwp improves our midfield enough to kick us on, he’s better than Gomes & Davies, delph. And is even a better passer than Doucoure. But if you’re going to sacrifice a bit of Energy/power/pace/aggression, in midfield for a technical player, than I want someone a lot better than him.
He has 1 goal and 0 assists from open play. Ward-Prowse is literally Sigurdsson with more tackles and sideways passing instead of just not getting involved.Jwp is way underrated he plays a deeper more conventional cm role than someone like grealish (who is way better) he's a more balanced but he's still managed to get 7 goals an 5 assists this season.

Mobile, can pass, press, get up an down, contribute goals and assists, contribute defensively, mobile, experienced in the league. great set pieces. its fairly obvious what we lack and he does a lot of that stuff really well.Exactly what we need how?
I feel like overrated player because he takes good set plays is pretty taken in our squad.
