The Summer 2023 Transfer Thread

[Silhillvilla]

Digne was a poor signing considering the fee and supposed wages . Then again look who signed him, probably neighbours at the time.

Is it time to build a runway at Bodymore heath. It would save messing about.

Acuna apparently has a bit of fire in his belly unlike Digne. Get him in.

Looks like he has more than fire in his belly

So what? As long as he's fit and can do the job who cares?

He does, he's a winner but unlike a lot of players he doesn't take winning for granted, he knows it has to be worked hard for.
There was a little murmur early on in the window about Rodrigo de Paul, came from Emi1 I think. He'd be an exceptional acquisition in my opinion. Basically a central midfielder but, one who is extremely adaptable, able to play all across the midfield. Atletico Madrid would want in excess of 40 million euro for him I think.

He is like a higher calibre Nicky Shorey. Good technique, good left foot, but no pace and defensive ability.

Moreno isn’t a great defender of course but is rapid and is brilliant going forward. We miss him.

@Melon Donkey will be well happy with Acuna, as he's not a good looker and Mrs Melon won't have a thing about him

His stature reminds me of Freddie Bouma who turned out to be a bit of a Villa legend.

 

[JW1985]

Apparently Acuna can

Always thought it was a mistake to release him just as he was recovering from his injury. He spent 2/3 years at PSV afterwards winning titles and getting back into the National team whereas we spent about 15m combined on Shorey and Warnock who were both shite.

Always makes me laugh seeing people on the internet calling professional sportsmen fat. I'd kill to be "fat" like Acuna or Luke Shaw. My missus would be pretty chuffed if I was that "fat" as well.

According to Flightradar, Zaniolo's plane is still at Istanbul Airport.

ah c'mon you're just cuddly and naturally 'big-boned' not at all like the two tubs of lard you mentioned

 

[Pangloss]

Acuna looks like a cross between Carlos Tevez and John Leguizamo

According to Flightradar, Zaniolo's plane is still at Istanbul Airport.

The pilot is just finishing off his Stella and Kebab in the Airport Spoons.

I'm joking.

 

[DeanoVilla]

I'm joking.

It is actually National Joke Day, so..

 

[DeanoVilla]

I now feel uncomfortable if we sign Zaniolo on National Joke Day.... Surely an omen?

This body shaming of players is dreadful. It stretches back a long way. I remember my dad dismissing Billy Wright as Porridge Guts.
This Acuna bloke looks a tough sod. If he plays in the Argentinian style he’d take no prisoners.
