Agreed
Che Adams signs for Southampton so that means Sam Gallagher will come the other way.
I have heard 5 million,which seems very overpriced.
Personally I would prefer that money spent on McNair,who could cover 3 positions.
Agreed
This one makes me uneasy. We are overpaying for someone I just don't rate highly.
You never know champs we could have another Armstrong bargain.
I know Armstrong hasn't consistently fired but for 1.5 million he has been worth it.
Still would like us to pursue McNair more
His ability to play centre midfield,centre back and right back would be so valuable for a squad that isn't the biggest.
Champs - I still think your expectations are too high. For the money we have available, we aren't going to get three or four superstars!
In fact, unless there is a dramatic explosion in the transfer-market, it looks as if very few Championship clubs are going to pull off "big name" signings.
Incidentally, if you have a look on the BBC "rumours" page, there is a suggestion that Villa value McGinn at 54M!!!!
Not at all. Our 2 strikers got 18 each last season. The last time Gallagher played in the Champ for a sustained period, he got 2. How does that equate to £5m? All our budget pretty much gone. For what?
That McGinn story is the exact kind of rubbish that Alan Nixon has spent the summer lying about.
These guys have nothing to print, so make up stories that are laughable.
Like Raya going to Brentford. Its the same every summer. Most of it is complete nonsense.
The good news is, if McGinn (an average Champ player) is worth £57m. Dack is worth over a £100m as he is twice as effective. So all good for us.
Alan Nixon gets away with this because he occasionally comes up trumps. People tend to forget all the ones he got wrong!
Well as soon as raya goes I expect this deal to accelerate.
By the time we sign Gallagher, he will be 35.
This story has been running for so long, its legs are worn down to stumps.
