Belgium play Lukaku don’t they?

Lukaku is a lot more than a big target man.

Mcginn to UTD won't happen. Always a rumour, no reason for him to leave, especially to a club in turmoil. He's at the richer club now, so money won't be an issue and if it's success he'd not winning anything at UTD anytime soon. Its a false rumour that never fails to show up every window despite there being absolutely no chance.

You think Villa are a richer club than Utd?

He's more chance of winning a trophy with Utd than with Villa, that's for sure.

I dont think SJM to Utd is far fetched.

Both Hibs and Villa were playing 2nd tier football and struggling to get promoted when signed so I don’t think he’s averse to a bit of turmoil and would probably relish the challenge of helping turn another clubs fortunes around.

That's a rare injury but I bet it's painful.

Whilst I don't think it will happen, villa are well behind united. He has a far better shot at trophies with united and would make twice the money.

He has had his contract with Villa upgraded twice so he likely already on a high income.

Glazer family net worth 3.1b, Nassef Sawris and Wes Edens are worth over 10b. Grealish said Villa more than matched Citys offer for him with money and it was about trophies for him so yeah, I do think Villa can outspoken UTD relatively comfortably. You just don't hear about it in the media because it's all about UTD.

And I disagree on winning things. Anyone telling me hes going to win anything at UTD has to look at their rotten to the core squad and lack of any success recently.

I think if Liverpool/City we're interested we'd be fighting a losing battle, but I don't see him going to a failing UTD team when hes in a team openly trying to get back to Europe right now, and having a serious go at it.

Didn't Man Utd make the Europa League Final losing on penalties last season? That's a lot, lot closer than Villa have anytime recently and now only one of them can do anything in Europe or win a trophy this year and it's not Aston Villa.

You said yourself Grealish moved to win trophies. McGinn will fancy his chances elsewhere.

Their owners may be richer but that doesn't mean they will outspend United.

If Villa were going to be as big as United why aren't they splashing the cash this window to try and get further up the League.

You are right in saying Utd are in turmoil but they will finish top half of the league and probably qualify for Europe yet again. They are also sitting in the last 16 of the Champions League.

Villa will probably finish bottom half and are already out the cups.

Because of SJM Villa are my favourite English team at the moment but they are a long way behind Utd.

We will see, from a villa fan that has seen this rumour every single window, it won't happen lol. I'm not trying to be a DELETED about it, just it's a lazy rumour that's brought up every window and again, nobody moves to UTD to win things anymore as that's not what UTD do. They struggle for top 4 like an arsenal nowadays, it's not like hes moving somewhere the league is a realistic opportunity.

If anyone with a chance of winning the Prem was interested I think he'd be off, but there isn't so I doubt it.

Owner wealth means very little. United's income dwarfs pretty much everyone. They have silly amounts of sponsors pumping money in. They can outspend villa easily.

McGinn would also go to Arsenal in a heartbeat if they had a bid accepted. Said it yourself, you like villa, you aren't being impartial here. Arsenal and United far bigger draws.

Villa have literally brought in Coutinho and Digne, a champions league winner and 30 odd cap French international. I'd say they are most definitely spending this window to try and catch up.

Villa will be top half, no doubt, Europe? Not this year, but to go from Glen Whelan to Coutinho in 3 years is ambition I wish our owners had. The Villa team man for man is 2/3 players away from being able to consistently push for Europa.

And I'm also not saying we are anywhere near as big, just this is a rumour that never has legs, and despite being a Hibby and overall not being too bothered as if he leaves Villa, Hibs get cash! So im happy, if he stays, im happy, but I just don't see UTD happening. For a lot of reasons, other clubs? Yep. UTD? No, it's a rumour that's always brought up without anyone ever credible at Villa reporting it.

Who else was interested in those 2 players?

[flash]

No idea if there's genuine interest but John McGinn would crawl from Villa Park to Old Trafford if that's what got him the move.
Ridiculous to suggest otherwise.

Chelsea were after Digne but didn't want to pay the 30 odd mil for a 29yo, Villa got it down to 10 mil. Doesn't matter who was interested in Coutinho, everyone knows how good a player he is. If we're talking spending power Villa have spent 300 odd mil in the last 3 windows so, wouldn't sat there's any club that can blow them out the water financially atm.

Chelsea only wanted him on loan, because Chilwell will be back next season. Everton didn't want to loan him out. He still cost villa over 20 million.

Coutinho has had an utterly disastrous time at Barcelona. Pound for pound probably the worst transfer in history. He has a lot to prove. Great player but really, no one else wanted him.

Agree to disagree on the Mcginn issue then. I won't argue it's two players that are older and not worth what they were a few years ago, but Villa are a big club in their own right with very very lofty ambitions, and they are doing everything to fulfil it.

I don't doubt Mcginn might be interested IF a bid came in from a to 4 club, but I don't see Villa accepting a bid that isn't mental money, and I just don't see UTD being willing to spend it on him. If they were, they would have at least made a bid before now, it's the exact same rumour every window and it never goes anywhere, therefore I just don't see it being with Hibs fans getting their hopes up.

They could build their midfield around him and given how poor that midfield is just now he would seriously improve that team.

Problem is too many overpaid big headed average players at Man U who aren't going anywhere soon!

I couldn't care who paid the transfer fee as long as we get a serious amount of money from it.

Unless both owners are investing equal proportions of their respective wealths then it’s a meaningless comparison. Even then, any investment will just be to supplement the clubs existing revenues and in this case Man Utd’s revenues dwarf those of Aston Villa.
