He’s a good player. Man City would not have signed him otherwise.

I would take him on loan absolutely.

If he signs I think they'll be selling someone soon from cm... Guimareas is not a player I'd want to sell.. he's a diamond.

I can see that one happening eventually.

If Barca come in with an offer of £100m for a 27/28 year old, how often will they get the chance to get a better offer?

I know mate and he'll want to go but I'd rather see if they can pull someone's eys out for Joelinton.

Or isak who's never fit.

None ideally though
 
Seriously though, this is nonsense. Barnes wasn't needed. Tino's only played because of about 3 injuries. Hall hasn't played in spite of injuries. Yes, we needed another midfielder, but not ahead of a better RW, another CF, better RCB and first choice LB. The recruitment was **** - it made sense if we already had a first XI capable of competing in the UCL and in the league - bring in some very talented young players, no problem. But we were starting Almiron, Burn, Wilson, Longstaff and Schar. We then had a Summer transfer window, spent £150m and lined up with......Almiron, Burn, Wilson, Longstaff and Schar.

Villa's spend in the Summer was less - they bought Diaby (starting), Torres (starting), Zaniolo, Lenglet and Tielemans (all getting regular miniutes). I mean, it's ****ing ridiculous how bad we were in comparison, given we qualified for the UCL. Really embarrassing. If I can see it, I'm pretty sure investors and those with money interest in the club can see it.

Whether the manager over-rates the players he has, whether the transfer team don't get it or aren't listening, only those in the rooms upstairs at SJP know. If Howe's adamant his team is great, then these are the results, he's part of the problem. If he's going to, say, Ashworth saying "I could really do with better than Burn and Targett" then getting Hall, then Howe's not the problem.

Either way, nobody can tell me the Summer recruitment was remotely what was needed. I said so at the time and I stand by it now.
You did say so at the time. You do stand by it now. To be fair though, you did say this two weeks ago, after we beat Man Utd:

He’s like 18? And who does he come on for? Tino?!

Livramento is ****ing sensational by the way. What a team this is becoming.

So not a 100% bad window then...
