David Brooks

Transfer figures get thrown around in the media.

If our club get a bid they will either say not enough or consider it.

Then if a deal goes through it will probably be for an undisclosed fee. ;)

That's just it nearly all fees are undisclosed but someone leaks it or guesses it. Like the 33m for Ollie Watkins which is said to be 28m plus add ons but 33m sounds better in the headlines
 
I don't actually think we've sold too many players under Max's reign that we didn't want to go or we really wanted to keep...Ake was obviously a special case.
 
We might as well sell this Arnaut Danjuma Van Groenvald for all the use he is.. ..at least Gosling gets his boots dirty for his 6 mark in the reports.
Things need saying...some of these buggers just don't wanna play in the Championship !
That'll disturb a few ..Sunday morning lay - ins...:throw:
 
If Villa are actually selling Grealish then it’s a possible. If they’re not then it’s unlikely.
You could never have both of them in a Premier League midfield.

Danjuma has made 10 starts and two substitute appearances, scored 5 goals and is still our third highest scorer in the league this season.

I didn't want to say that DJ in case I offended anyone but he's no Jack Grealish and Jack is going nowhere, he's dyed in the wool Claret ad Blue has been since he was 5. We have the 4th? richest owners in England so don't need to sell anyone, something the media don't seem to have picked up on.
Brooks looks a good player and would fit in perhaps instead of the sick note that is Ross Barkley as a 10?
This is the best Villa side I've seen since, well this century and a 50m player would have to walk into it our two wingers are the weak links at the mo followed by Mings for me, who as you warned us has a mistake in him every game.

That's for another thread though
all the best for the season, you should be back up
 
Injuries.....more subjective than physical these days.....just the impression I get..reading between the lines of transfer projections etc.
Sorry but that's how its got me since we got to know the PL and its effects.
 
all nice and fluffy but meaningless in the modern world
if you get a decent offer (£80m+) from one of the big boys, he'll be off

good luck for the rest of the season
Thanks mate good luck to you all at Bournemouth but you really have no idea about Jack, Not many players like him these days I'll agree that money-grabbing glory hunters exist but he isn't one.

are you seriously suggesting any player would spend an entire career at one club without winning trophies and trebling their earning potential....?

unbelievably naive, if he does well at the Euros he'll be off

What's your problem with Danjuma? You've had a pop a few times and I don't get it. He was injured most of last season was easily up there with our best players before he got injured this year. Scored important goals when we didn't look like doing so. I'm a fan of Gosling for his workrate, but he lacks in ability, always has. A good squad player but not one that's going to win too many games on his own, was very poor yesterday.

Gosling didn't win it on his own v Chelsea or Arsenal ?
Oh sorry that was a different Div !

Gosling like a good pro..keeps himself fit for selection all through a season. He has a degree of Ability otherwise he would not have been at Everton and Newcastle.
Things need saying...I say em!

Danjuma always has the chance to prove his worth if he sticks around...I will be happy to acknowledge that if it happens !

Gosling came to us with one of the worst injury records in football.
