Summer Transfer Window 2021

[Colly]

Just heard it on the radio. Villa doing ridiculously good business.

That's what, Ings, Bailey, Young, and Buendia now? All very good acquisitions.

Chelsea's interest in Lukaku apparently might spark a triangle with Duvan Zapata joining Inter and Abraham replacing him at Atalanta.

A few months ago, if you'd told Villa fans that they'd lose Grealish but still have a great window, I don't think they'd believe you.

Villa's window has been insane. I really hope they do well, rather than do an Everton.

Villa deserve a lot of success this year. Curious if all of this spending is before the Grealish transfer or done in expectation of the impending windfall from the Grealish transfer. But either way it's been a fantastic window.

I wonder if they play Ings alongside Watkins or do they move Watkins to be more of a 10? 
 

It’s a curious move as they could probably have moved Watkins for a lot of money this season too.

Watkins played 37/38 games last season (only missed the 38th due to a questionable red card), since returning from injury Wesley hasn’t shown enough, and Keinan Davis is injured again, so we always were in the market for another striker. Just don’t think anyone expected this move. Watkins can play out left as well mind, so will be interesting to see how we line up in a couple of weeks time.

[Gazz]

Ings up top, Watkins on the left, Bailey on the right, and Buendia as a 10 sounds like a very good attacking four.

[Roster Depth Sicko No. 2]

If they get Ward-Prowse behind them, you've got to think they'd be decent contenders for a Europa League spot.

[Colly]

Either way you aren't going to get 38 games out of Ings, so Watkins will still get time in the middle.

His forearms are almost as impressive as his calves

This is a touch of class from Purslow - calmly and clearly explaining the situation and what the club did to address it. Villa seem really well run.

Grealish to Man City leads to Ings to Villa leads to Messi to Southampton

Well he is the Fernando Torres of finance after all

I was thinking the same thing. It's not quite Keegan on the steps telling us how good Keith Gillespie is, but considering Villa's great business so far he probably didn't even need to do it.

Quite an over the top big announcement video even for Premier League standards.

By contrast, I present Gateshead FC.
