Spot on. I’d heard that was the case. You normally hear about the external signings - whether it’s Ferry, Pambou, Carson or JRod v2.0 but nothing surfaced. Brexit obviously made it tricky but fully expected some domestic signings — Especially when we’ve got a pretty big need for extra depth. The respective squads are going to be very young this year. Will be interesting to see what difference it makes to the U18’s this season as this year they will be implementing the Playbook.

Hopefully JWP will do the driving.

Agree with TWar. Versatile fullback, I think.

Gets his testimonial soon

Official:

I heard Noel Whelan & Carlton Palmer were sent round to turn his head.

How did Boufal get on?

We were. Late last year. Lots of other teams have been linked, too.

Indeed. They probably get better coaching but WAY less chance of playing first team football.

WHEYYYYYYY!

I wouldn’t say no

Feels to me like Vesty could still go — makes sense in order to finance the amount of signings we need.

Saw one yesterday about him being on the list to replace Douglas Luiz if he leaves? Was that the one? Villa eye midfield reinforcements as Roma target Douglas Luiz Aston Villa have been one of the more active teams in the summer transfer window while many others are focused on the European Championship. They have expressed an interest in James Ward-Prowse and have also been monitoring Harry Winks and Todd Cantwell in that central midfield position, while Dwight McNeil has also been looked at. Villa midfielder Douglas Luiz, meanwhile, is wanted by Jose Mourinho at AS Roma after the buy-back option held by Manchester City expired.
