Transfers, 2024-25 season

[PaddockLad 18280]

Arsenal look like they’ve put an offer in knowing it’ll DEFINITELY get knocked back

Duran looks some player and no guarantees they can replace him with better. But that's a lot of cheddar. 

[Optimistic Nut 383]

Isak to Villa for £125m when Duran & Watkins go then.

Garnesh on SSN sounding absolutely incredulous at the news that Aston Villa have had the cheek and audacity to pick their striker tonight in the Champions League. They're unbelievable.

[acrossthepond 934]

60m for Watkins, no thanks. Villa should be asking for something closer to 100m. Arsenal are over a barrel and everyone knows it, thanks to their friends in the media incessantly banging on about their striker problem.

That bloke is absolutely, not a shadow of a doubt about it, stealing a living and so's that Kaveh bloke, absolute fucking frauds the pair of them. 'My sources are saying' as he looks at the twitter feed of journalists who cover villa and arsenal.

I’d take £60m for Watkins if I could find a decent replacement.

They can get to the absolute fuck with this shit, like.

Why the fuck would you countenance selling our prime asset to some no-mark club for less than 50% of his market value?

As I mentioned at the time, that Kaveb bloke spent two minutes explaining how the crook that owns Spurs doesn't own them then at the end explained how he administers a family trust that owns Spurs and says "so he does sort of own them". 

[Kid Dynamite 7421]

€75m for Duran when they have Rogers/Watkins is good business and gives them funds to rebuild. 
 

I wish we had a player we didn't want that we could sell for mega bucks!

[PaddockLad 18280]

Didn’t the premier league hold an emergency meeting and rush through a new set of rules when we sold Maxi for 20 mill?  

[Toonpack 10796]

Seems the Targett to Leeds rumours are firming up. Per Wilson in the Echo.

[Optimistic Nut 383]

If we can get around £10m we've done really well. Worth a punt to Leeds because he's one of those "get you up, keep you up" types.

Yet we still got that much for him!

Leeds fans yesterday were talking about it and saying £15 Mill - that'd be tremendous (and unlikely)

Oh safety wink needed

I told my Leeds mate they were looking at him for £15m and he said he thought that was top end

He has barely been fit since we signed him permanently. I'd take £5m and off the wage bill.

[RobElliott 1721]

Aye if Targett is reportedly on £100k a week thats £2.1m in wages saved by July, or use it to top up Isaks wage

 

[Dr Gloom 23008]

£15m for targett given how little he has featured is great business. more or less what we paid for him, isn't it? plus he's a couple of years older. 

 

£12m, the rumoured free for longstaff to everton, seems undervalued for a english player with solid PL and CL experience coming into his prime yers, albeit one with a low technical ceiling. id be looking for £15-20m for him, though i can understand why they would be tempted to sell given it's pure profit. 

 

miggy, longstaff and targett are three squad players we probably ought to shift. however, they are three bodies that could prove useful sub/rotation options in the run in if we get injuries. it could all be paper talk but if all three go, surely there's at least one body coming in? we're well covered at left back with hall, tino and potentially burn and kelly capable of filling in there. but RW is looking very weak. and we would only have two reserve options for the three CM places were longstaff to leave.

Only longstaff provides decent rotation options these days though.

 

Targett and Miggy have barely featured and are the obvious ones to bin off. Longstaff can still do a job despite how frustrating he can be at times. I’d not sell for less than £20m.

[Holden McGroin 7193]

Longstaff has 18 months left on his deal so now (from a financial point of view) would be the optimum time to sell.

We need him for the Homegrown rule and he pisses wypoopie off but moreso we need him for the homegrown quota.

Eddie has still used all three players this season though. I agree they could all

be shifted given their limited minutes but who does Eddie bring on to give others a rest if they’re all sold in this window without being replaced?  Seems a very risky to sell all three this month if no one is coming in.
