yeh the only risk is that we don’t get promoted and some other club come in for him and turn his head. He’s then rejects our offer and can go elsewhere if they agree a fee with Zenit. He seems to love it here tho so I’d hope that’s low risk

I would only want Louie Barry on a permanent. A loan for a left forward makes no sense to me unless they’re elite
yeh depends on value. I doubt we’d go above £5m on an unproven player like him. And who knows what Villa want!
The only issue for me is if we sign a LM we will have Mundle Watson and Barry for 1 position Watson is the one I have the most hope for but Mundle was class for us I get both are injured at the minute but would be wary about bringing another permanent LM in
yeh same. But a loan makes even less sense to me. I think where I’m coming to is that I don’t want him at all. (although would obviously back the club totally if we did bring him in)
Latest comments on Mundle make it sound like we might not see him for a good bit yet, would make sense for me
All about the RW and CM for me. That's the big hitting areas. Especially if we using mayenda up front instead of RW.
Yeah, I posted elsewhere that it was more 8-12 weeks and not on the 8 side. Major hamstring tear. I reckon it will be another 3-4 weeks.
yeh CM is the place a loan makes most sense I reckon. Someone to fill the role Alan Browne was intended for. Somebody like Carney Chukeumeka on loan from Chelsea?
There was a random rumour on the villa forum that we could be sending Ballard to Villa with Barry coming here, defo BS like but funny
No. Definitely not. He is very powerful with explosive characteristics. Needs to be really eased back in otherwise it will rupture again. I think he avoided surgery this time round but if it happened again, it would probably lead to that and that's 4 month minimum.
Agree tbh. Only caveat is that I’m trying to delude myself that he’s versatile enough to play anywhere across the front four and could find games in other spots.
