It’s immaterial if they’re free they’re good signings You seem to be trying to waffle your way out of something and I’ve no idea what
What I find a bit baffling, is we seem to take an age getting players over the line, but other clubs seem to gazump us, and get the deal done in a couple of days.
Agreed, Tufan and Omur are/we're good signings, pelkas, tetteh and ally were ok, and you could even argue that with Sinik we've never actually seen him have an injury free run. Personally I liked Traore and if wages had been more sensible would have happily kept him.
It's not out of anything, you misinterpreted what I said and then when I explained it you still didn't get it. How good they are doesn't impact how easy it is to negotiate with them. Calum Chambers has played 36 games in three seasons for Villa, not even a whole PL season's worth of football across three years, so he signed on reputation. He's a great player, but there's a reason he's gone to Cardiff and not a Sheff U or even Burnley or Leeds. Willock I imagine was offered a decent wedge to go, we were interested in him but I would hazard a guess we wouldn't pay what others could offer. While it's preferable to sign domestic players who are already adapted to the rigours of the Championship, it might be the case that we'll fare better casting our net wider than the EFL for signings. I think we'll sign a few domestic players, I just have the opinion we'd have more success getting quality in from abroad.
I clearly said I don't know and that I hope not. Speculative so not an assumption and what do you mean - again!?
Thought Tetteh was disappointing overall, and Pelkas flattered to deceive. I expected us to sign a few German players I'd never heard of this window - what with Walter being such a highly regarded German coach
Because time and again people on this forum speculate almost totally negatively or imaging scenarios that ‘may’ be happening . The problem is if these ‘tales’ are posted often enough the greater majority believe it as truth - like t’internet tales . It’s not a pop at you but if negative guesses become common , they soon become fact . You may be right - or wrong
