Saïd Benrahma

[Tony Currie]

Not playing today for Brentford - obviously had a big bid?

From who?

 

[BushBlade]

Villa?

 

[BadgersBigToe]

No bids

 

[CaptainMorgans]

Villa?

Unsurprisingly they are linked stronger than anybody else. No idea where he'd fit into their side, but that never seems to worry Dean Smith too much.

Arsenal & West Ham also credited with an interest.

 

[ben1987]

Not us.

 

[Bladesman]

I thought he had already left Brentford.

Frank was saying in his pre-match interview he got a knock in training... the good ol Beattie flu

Villa to replace Grealish

 

[hull-Blade]

More bids !

 

[brownblade]

Unsure who can actually afford him, but maybe they'll drop the asking price a bit if it's not Villa bidding.

 

[Mouth of the South]

Well I certainly wouldn't pay £30m for him. Skillful and has a spectacular goal in him but has an obvious attitude issue. His performance in his biggest ever game i.e. play off final was incredibly poor.

Reminds me a lot of Mahrez but with less of the good traits and more of the bad traits

Palace bound for €20m according to Nixon. strikes me as a good deal to be honest.

Odd signing giving they've got Eze and Zaha on their books..

think Zaha wants out to a ‘big’ club according to Roy.... not sure whod be up for him as he didn’t exactly set the world on fire last season.

That's the issue, at £50m or whatever daft money Palace think he's worth I'm not sure who will pay it.

Villa to replace Grealish

Can’t see anyone paying Villa’s asking price for him.

 

[FriethBlade]

Zaha will leave Palace, they may have to sell hom for less than they want but they'll still get more than they will pay for Eze and Benrahama together. Good swap if you ask me.

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

Was he stuck in the barbers.

 

[Danetheblade]

Agree with that. Maybe the beginning of last season someone would have paid it.. don't think anyone will now with covid, and the fact he didn't exactly light up the league last season.

Villa?

I like how on this forum we can have Saïd written correctly with a diaeresis, and still spell John wrong.

 

[Blade56]

SSN say he’s off to Palace

 

[Toronto Blade fan]

20m sounds like a good deal.

 

[OrderOfStGeorge]

20m a bargain could play as an attacking midfielder through the middle too would be ideal behind McBurnie and Mousett

 

[CaptainMorgans]

They've done well to get him & Eze for a combined £36m to be fair.

I thought both would be priced at £25m.

Agreed Captain, they will sell Saha and still have some change in their back pocket.

Agreed Captain, they will sell Saha and still have some change in their back pocket.

... and in my opinion they'll be stronger for it.

Bloody heck, I know we are a bit short up top but I don't fancy any player who's likely to do a 'Lineker' and shit himself during the match.

Demanding 60k a week according to papers which is reason he hasnt moved yet

I thought he was off to Chelsea.
