I agree on the whole, I think slater falls under that category long term though? Hopefully we sign someone in this mould too though as we need a good mix of players like this and youth to be successful long term as well as short

Regan is a gem. Underappreciated.
Yes, but I'm still not sure what type of midfielder he is, he'll probably suit playing as an 8.
We've got a solid amount of experience remaining, so for the defensive midfielder role I'd prefer someone younger.
Google milner, or claridge, or our own Swan.
There's better examples probably, but they're good enough to play where they're needed and do a job.
Get over the ****ing champ/FIFA/stats .
He's what a footballer and team player is all about in the real world.
The glue that gives the technicians the opportunity to play their game.
He's an Ashbee in the making for me, if he sticks around long enough.

Yes I know, even so, we wouldn't have been able to buy them as even at their stage of the career I think they would be out of reach financially.
We should sign the Xavi Simons from PSG. He looks better that our one
Who knows? One of these days the craze might actually be a new signing.
Fingers crossed…
Philogene just arrived at the training camp in Turkey.
Weirdest transfer situation ever.

Tosun is linked to Fenerbahce. https://www.ntvspor.net/foto-galeri/fenerbahce-de-b-plani-cenk-tosun-668f77361ace45004f31a55e/1
Good news I guess, some folks here were afraid that he was gonna sign City.

Our only signing looks like he’ll be gone before the inks dry on his contract…..the summer is weird so far
Yep , Ian Ashbee is making a comeback , Slater has got an Oscar for the Sweeney , and you can buy a Villa for about £15m , does that help ? also , nobody has got any signatures so autographs are scarce
Baz saying we're prepared to keep Jaden if an acceptable deal can't be reached.
As we've accepted bids wtf does that mean?

there's the human element to consider too, why would philogene agree a transfer to villa knowing they're going to sell him straight on? what if a 2nd deal fell through? what if that left him on the fringes for a season?

I suspect it means:
1) Ipswich’s combined bid for both Philo and Greaves is the best, but may have inflated Jacob’s price vis a vis Philo’s to reduce amount paid to Villa
2) Philo doesn’t want to go to Ipswich
3) Ipswich’s bid for Jacob alone falls short
4) Villa’s activation of their clause means we don’t get enough dosh selling back to Villa, and we don’t have to sell
5) it’s stalemate
It could be that we are lowering the Philogene fee in the joint deal and Villa are having none of it. They’ve called Acun’s bluff by matching the bid and Acun’s next play is to threaten not to sell him at all.
The only thing that has me scratching my head is that I don’t think Philogene and his agent would play ball in this scenario.

On point 4 it they've matched the bid and Jaden wants to go we do have to sell.
