Possible good news from JJ regarding King, all that rough now business which gets smoother later - ever had a crown fitted.

Haha, that was not a cryptic!!! JJ was making a joke about the way A&C polices the ITK thread and how transgressions usually lead to something big and solid being inserted in a very personal manner!

I don't think I've EVER seen JJ post a cryptic, he's one of the straightest talking ITK's out there.

I feel for ITKs. Literally every word you type must have a hidden meaning apparently.

You can't blame some people for inferring stuff though, especially when most of the current ITKs might as well type in hieroglyphics. You really have to work to decipher what they're trying to say these days (with a few obvious exceptions)

May be good RE Watkins


I know we seem to be the only club struggling with transfers this summer, but would be absolutely shocked if Villa are able to buy both King for £16m and then Watkins for over £20m, especially having already bought Matty Cash for £15m.

They are also looking to get Martinez from Arsenal for around 20M, can't see them spending that big on all these players

I can understand that you might think it but I have no idea how you can "know" it. We've already brought in three players (disregarding Alfie Devine) considered to be shrewd signings and all sources - itk and media - seem to think that we are far from finished. Even that one or two further deals are close to being agreed.

We've done as much as most other clubs.

Think you may have misunderstood my post - I'm saying that even though a lot of Spurs fans think we're the only club unable to spend money this summer, a lot more clubs are in the same position and won't be able to chuck money about. Especially a club like Villa, who could still go down next season.

Sixteen Million Pounds for Josh King who has a year left on his contract fucking hell.

I did read somewhere that Villa wanted 2 strikers but agree that King + Watkins would be unlikely.

Oh lol:

Villa are keen to sign two strikers this summer and pulled their bid for Wilson after the England international made it clear he was moving to Newcastle. Wilson signed a four-year deal after completing his £20m move on Monday.

Brentford's Ollie Watkins remains a priority target for Villa, with talks ongoing with the Championship club, while there is also interest in Celtic's Odsonne Edouard and Liverpool's Rhian Brewster.

Its not a bargain by any means but what exactly would you expect a proven PL and home-grown striker to go for?
Just remembered we spent 15m on Hojbjerg so yeah, probs the same. My bad.
