In the time since either of them won anything, we’ve won the complete set! Bloody love that zero next to our name! Brentford being 12 years ago makes a mockery of whatever point they're trying to make. That better not be the LDV Vans trophy
StanSP Posted 30 July 2021 Posted 30 July 2021 Can't imagine they have that much money left to get Maddison. 1

Why would you give him a long deal? It's not like he'll be attractive to anybody else and you'll cash in on the compensation. Clubs make really odd decisions at times.

Leicesterpool Posted 30 July 2021 Posted 30 July 2021 See Villa have made a cheeky bid for Ward-Prowse of £25million which has been rejected, think he was worth more than that £40million more near the mark I think.

If grealish is worth 100 then ward prowse is worth at least half that. A bit cheeky to be bidding a quarter tbh.
MattFox Posted 30 July 2021 Posted 30 July 2021 (edited) 1 hour ago, Yes said: I’m all for clubs overtaking the Super League lot but it’ll be great if Villa fans get a reality check, they seem to think they’re the only ones with a project, rich owners and ambitions, they’re weirdly confident they’re going to progress every year until they’re competing for and winning titles as if it’s that simple. Being optimistic is fine but there’s an arrogance they’ve got with it. One of the most deluded fanbases in the country, everyone in the Midlands has always known this. Edited 30 July 2021 by MattFox
RowlattsFox Posted 30 July 2021 Posted 30 July 2021 I know there is more to transfers than fees but mad that Varane costs less than Ben White. 2

Grebfromgrebland Posted 30 July 2021 Posted 30 July 2021 Villa do look to have spent the grealish money already and it appears they are copying our model of buying wisely and selling a top player. I've been impressed with their purchases so far and think that they will be competing with us for top 6. 1

Not sure Villa aren't exactly short of a few bob with the owners they have, it wasn't so long ago they spent nearly 100million in one window. I think there might be a few late deals for them, especially if Grealish goes.

Have mates who are villa fans tell me about how rich their owners are and how they're not a selling club. It's probably beneficial to us, they're less of a threat to us without grealish and we're never catching city.

dmayne7 Posted 31 July 2021 Posted 31 July 2021 £100m for Grealish But won't spend the same on Kane. Can't deal with it.

Just transfer masters 1
