    Both Zubimendi and Douglas Luiz sound more like summer targets than January ones because it’d be very expensive and difficult to get them. I’m still of the opinion that we won’t do anything in January but maybe I’m being pessimistic.

      Depending on EPL table and injury situation, we should learn from last season.

      We have to sign someone. Our season sort of depends on it. Jorgi is great but we can’t have him playing twice a week

      I’d be happy if we went for some young talent, like Saliba when we bought him in 2020, but I’d be ok if we didn’t get anyone. We spent tons of money in the summer transfer window, so we should be good until the summer

      I agree that we won’t touch the midfield in January. Realistically, we wouldn’t get anyone in until the end of January and by that time Partey will be back or close to being back. I think we seriously go for Toney and/or Neto to bolster our attack and also give cover for Saka on the right

    Douglas Luiz is clearly aware of our interest since summer 22 and yet he still signed a contract last year, he’s clearly happy there, forget him and move on

    “He(Luiz) is considered the perfect midfielder by people at Arsenal. They would love to sign him”

      This is just looking for engagement, Rice was their top target that’s why they were prepared to go to £105M. If Luis was a top target he would already be at the club.

    Missed the boat on Luiz, he was there for the taking now Villa are in a stronger position, he’s an important player and re-signed for them.

      People at the time were questioning why him.

      His turn in form shows our management know more then players and pundits.

      Havertz will come good

    will be very hard to get him tbh, he’s villas best player and he renewed his contract after they refused to sell. But I’m all for it, as long its a reasonable price

    I’ll never forget the infamous black van allegedly leaving Douglas Luiz’s residence on Deadline Day last season.
