We’d get like £2m-£3m at most for Barisic.We should sell Borna and play Bassey at LB. We get so much from him on the flank.
Villa don't strike me as a squad that would urgently benefit from Bassey. He'd likely have to take Mings' spot, which, even though Bassey is arguably better, is unlikely given Mings is their defensive talisman with 17 England caps to his name. At left-back they invested in Digne last year as well whose delivery is as good as it gets in the PL, so that side of the defence would not seem to be a priority to me.
What has happened to him down there, has he had much game time if any?Depends what Villa a willing to pay. They may see it as in investment for the future a bit like Patterson at Everton
Ooft!!“KT”
You laugh. Loudly.Where do you start with this.
By at least doubling itWhere do you start with this.

Aston Villa are no more close to signing Calvin Bassey than I am to pumping Liz Hurley .As expected, 'Villa close in on deal for Calvin Bassey'.
Soon we'll have everyone being linked with them
But since it's a Premier League team we should ask as much as we can. Seeing what they pay for players in general 30-35m should be where we start.

Not sure it's them that will go for him but it's a cert teams will be looking to get him I've no doubt about thatDepends what Villa a willing to pay. They may see it as in investment for the future a bit like Patterson at Everton
What saggy arsed Liz.Any relation to Liz?
Well, if they do sign him let me be the first to congratulate youAston Villa are no more close to signing Calvin Bassey than I am to pumping Liz Hurley .
His leg genuinely looks like it a belongs on a horse in that second picture.

Aye and the rest ffs!!
Aye until we get the fee , remember the fall out from Patterson transfer .A lot of supporters of the scum and scum minded press people seem to want Bassey sold, he must worry them.
K Tshirt“KT”
Fucking idiots tbh .Aye and the rest ffs!!
Easy just triple it and we can talk sensibly.Where do you start with this.

Like the one that cost Liverpool the title on SundayThere have been rumours doing the rounds in Midlands for quite some time that SG doesn't fancy Mings, makes far too many silly mistakes.
In all fairness, he does state "minimum value"Aye, and the rest.
I don’t really think it’s arrogance , their just thick as %^*&.Typical English club arrogance.
Liverpool would have won the league by 1 point if Man City had drawn.The game would have ended 2-2 which wouldn't have been enough for Liverpool as Man City had a vastly superior goal difference.
Really ? He’s already played for Nigeria in a WCQ game so I don’t think England are going to have an eye on him.Maybe not an elite team but probably not far off it. Only a limited number of clubs can and will pay that kind of money so hopefully a Man U, Arsenal, Spurs or Newcastle level team see him as a future star.
Getting an England call up would be huge for his future value. FWIW I think they may have an eye on him and he’s good enough already.
Exactly this. People might accuse the EPL clubs of being arrogant but, in reality, it’s just good business sense. They know the Rangers board will never turn down a 25m bid so no need to bid what the fans think he’s worth.Agree that he is a better player than both and that we need to get him signed longer. The problem with the 50 million offer is it will never happen simply because they know we could never knock back 25-30m. Ever. So they dont need bid the extra 20m. It would take a seismic shift in the views of scottish football by both other teams and by ourselves for that to change.
Mings and Digne have both been dreadful this season. They will have Targett back from his loan at Newcastle where he’s played well, but doesn’t look like he’s going to be signed permanently.Villa don't strike me as a squad that would urgently benefit from Bassey. He'd likely have to take Mings' spot, which, even though Bassey is arguably better, is unlikely given Mings is their defensive talisman with 17 England caps to his name.

Brilliant he’s way to good for a relegation battle .Villa signing Brazilian Centre back from Sevilla.
Right, and it's not just an SPL thing either. Look at Feyenoord, who many of our fans would probably consider as a club with transfer policy to learn from: they very rarely get more than 10-15mil for players at the top end (only Ajax and occasionally PSV do due to years of consistently successful sales), and the average is closer to 5-7mil. A lot of them end up running down their contracts and leaving on a free too.Exactly this. People might accuse the EPL clubs of being arrogant but, in reality, it’s just good business sense. They know the Rangers board will never turn down a 25m bid so no need to bid what the fans think he’s worth.
If big Calvin is the 'prize' is it a raffle involving Villa, Chelsea, Bayern etc etc?
