I’d still stand firm and not sell him until the Summer. Bowen has plenty of suitors and will probably have better options than Villa come the end of the season. Aren’t Villa in trouble with FFP if they are relegated?
My in laws jumping around suggesting the mighty 'hammers' are going for him ... I did suggest that he would be playing championship football with them next season if he went there but they didnt seem to like that .. lol tbf same applies with Villa .. cant see him moving or being tempted unless it's for someone who will advance his career .. play in europe etc
Totally agree and With him a better chance to get to the prem, without him, not good odds. He will still be worth 20million in summer, makes no sense to sell now...if we get promoted it will be start at 20 million.....
I agree with all of the above. It would be great to see him kick on with a decent team and I hope that those in charge of any negotiations have learnt lessons - The words of Craig Shakespeare still ringing about what they were actually prepared to pay for Harry when he was sold rather than what they actually paid.
I would fancy Leicester to have a look at Bowen if Maddison goes in the summer. Having said that, I actually fancy Utd to be looking at him also, January & summer, depending on where we are!
Plenty of rumours flying around about Lingaard going to Leicester. They want something like £45 million plus Lingaard in exchange for Maddison...!!!!!
I noticed that Peterborough signed someone and wondered if he was a replacement for one of our targets.
They signed a lad from Chelsea for 500k. It was funny listening to the Peterborough Chairman on TS saying he'd aged 10 years in the last 24 hours trying to get the deal done and complaining about agents.
And some on here thought we should have offered him more. Dont like giving too much credit but the club has got most of these player decisions right over the last 3-4 years
According to SSN, we're considering a deal for Wigan striker Devante Cole, who spent the first half of the season on loan at Motherwell.
Andy Cole's lad. Wigan seem to have a habit of killing off the careers of promising signings - maybe McCann can revive Cole like he has revived Da Silva Lopes!
If he scores half as many goals for us as the last player we got from Motherwell did he would be a terrific signing.
That's half of 65 or half of 0, depending on which of two transfers on the same day went through last.
