While talking other clubs - why would Villa pay Terry £60k a week? His legs are going. He's an old head but seriously in decline. He isn't a flair player, he's not a popular player. He won't boost attendances or sell thousands of shirts. The pace of the Championship will only expose him more. It's a ridiculous signing but if it comes off. Because that's the English way. Throw cash at experience... Or blowing your brains out as someone far smarter than me recently put it. It's the Dr. Xia way. He was always going to go to an egocentric owner throwing money about. They're a dying breed at the moment so makes sense to go to Villa.

Brilliant. Looks like an athletic player who gets on the end of crosses. He would have a field day with Tommy Smith. Oh! and by my reckoning watching that video he scored 14 goals from 14 chances. Great strike rate. Just what we need.

Steve Mounie won more aerial duals (293) than any other Ligue 1 player. Not a bad stat

Does anyone have any updates on the Mounie situation? Is the deal done, nearly done or still chasing him with other clubs?
Any Google related, Twitter related or examiner related links welcome.
Are we going to sign him?
Thanks

Are we going to sign him? Thanks There was a tweet from a French guy saying Mounie was in Huddersfield yesterday and that it wasn't the same as Montpellier because it was raining. Said the deal was done (13 million Euros) and a medical on Wednesday. Not sure what the 3 day wait for the medical is for though

Not sure if you're being serious? I think this French guy knows what Mounie looks like and it's certainly nothing like Depoitre

I am wondering if maybe the new guy is the cheaper option to Mounie. Seems strange that we would go for two physical strikers, both dominant in the air. Hopefully not as this guy seems the real deal but at 11.5m.. I have a feeling Mooy will be our most expensive signing providing reports are accurate.

I know that it does sound silly, but I really do think that the club is waiting for the new kit announcement before parading the new players, and that Depoitre's agent forced their hand yesterday with the ill-judged tweet.

I'm a bit surprised that we would be going for both Depoitre and Mounie though. I know we need strength in depth but it's taking some getting used that one of our record transfers would be spending a lot of time on the bench? I'm all for it - just surprised. Depoitre sounds like the tradition 9 we have always wanted. Maybe Mounie can also play wide so they could both be on the pitch at the same time? We would quickly go from a team who were weak in the air to one that is strong. Very important in the Premier League where set pieces at both ends seem even more important than in the Championship. An area that Klopp has never really sorted out at Liverpool.

Terry may be expensive at 60k a week but an alternative view is, His legs went 10 years ago 😀 It makes no odds v all but world class opposition, he scores goals, he would be better off at a mid table premier league team He has good leadership qualities and his lack of popularity hasnt held him back at club level at international level we have needed him more than him needing to play for England

I think if we were only going for Depoitre and not Mounie then Hoyle and Wagner would be pre planning life next season
It may have been the case under someone else maybe, but Wagner doesn't seem to work that way, this bloke has no limits as stated. Why lead a negative way of thinking?
The bloke wants a strong squad with depth, yes we may he spending some wedge, its all a bit surreal, but I'd get used to it if we stay up. We have to compete and that's what he wants to do.
Mounie is signed by the way, had a long conversation today with my mate Francois and apparently his place is on the market too. So he's off somewhere...

I think we'll get them both as the only other striker we'll have is Colin.

Mounie deal will get done probably be announced early next week. Don't think signing depoitre changes anything we need two strikers.

No matter who we sign even if it's Ronaldo, none of them are going to start ahead of one man....
COLLIN QUANER!!!
The bloke that you can't help but love. You had to laugh in the first playoff leg when we needed a bit of magic off the bench as we had some tired legs, on comes the man, the myth, the legend that is big Col. Millions watching... the ball comes to him.. and... oh, he boots it off his other leg and it goes out for a throwing.
What a man.

Fran still thinks Town, wouldn't go Championship I got told.
