According to Sky Wilson says that he prefers a move to Newcastle.
He can bugger off then.
Only reason I can think of is that we are also looking at Watkins and the only competition he'd have at Newcastle is Joelinton. If he doesn't want to play for us then he can fuck off.
Looks to me like we are not looking for the next level and experience I had hoped.
This smells like last summer all over again.
I work with a Wet Spam fan and he says exactly the same about our fans after an away game experience at villa park.
According to Sky
Matt is a decent enough player but not a Premier league full back. Links well with Connor and Jack, looks a better wide left prospect than any of Anwar,Trez or Jota.Surely with a lack of pre season for any new signings it would make a lot more sense to just go with Ollie Watkins and Said Benrahma and try and call it 45m for both ? With both players preferring to play at the same club as each other.
I believe with a quality winger in Benrahma it will take the pressure off Grealish who feels like he needs to carry Villa, which will then open up more chances for the team, and if the likes of Arsenal are interested surely he's good enough for us.
Darren Bent has also said Villa need to get rid of Matt Targett and get someone else in as he looks too weak, who agrees ?
Well there is a way to go yet, so saying nothing, however we got a get out of jail card last season and if we dont learn from that and dont get in any proven Prem players I will feel very let down, and we will get everything we deserve.This.
Still hoping to be proven wrong, as are you. But we were hoping that last summer and last season as well, and no matter what anyone says who was satisfied with scraping survival, we were right, as it wasn't the stated aim at all and we weren't set up right.
Or perhaps the trouble is believing what the rumour-mill has to say?I can't understand why we are quibbling over a few million on players as has been reported. If the club want to sign Wilson from Bournmouth then just get the damn deal done. They want £15m we offer £12m, just pay the money and have done. If we are to believe reports that Brentford have dropped the price of Benrahma to £20m, the fact we have been chasing him for over a year, why drag our heels? If the club, well Smith, is that keen to have him, hand over the dosh, get him in and get him on the training ground, and stop pissing around. The trouble with our club is they fanny around haggling over a couple of million pounds, which is nothing in today's transfer dealings, and then lose out instead of just going out to get a player.
