Thank you wolves-White,you have just possibly saved my neck,it's our anniversary tomorrow,i would have been in deep sh** if i had forgotten. Good morning all
Hull City are chasing Malik Wilks so thats 2 Championship clubs. I'm guessing that if we sell him its because Bielsa doesn't see a future for him at ER
Morning all. What makes you think that some of the younger players will not be good enough for the first team squad? I imagine that several of the under 23s are on the verge of selection.
Glad we’ve got Clarke back - sensible bit of business from Leeds - shame we can’t keep him but that’s the realities of the championship and hopefully once we’ve got some others off the books/moved on that we don’t want then then that’s the transfer we have to make so we don’t have to sell Phillips/(anyone else) - wouldn’t sell him except for silly money and that would be 30 million plus - understand it’s all opinions but find it difficult for people to look at what he did last season and not think he was brilliant in his position and a lynchpin for Bielsa’s system. Would be a shame if Jansson went but if he went to a premier league team then it would be fair enough, if he goes to Fulham then it would say to me then he and Bielsa have issues but hopefully they don’t and hopefully he doesn’t! As for the U23’s/21’s - I’m sure most are bought with the hope they’ll make it but they also have to make a team and the more promising players will develop quicker and stronger if they’re in a better overall team - so I’m sure some are bought with the thought that they might not be good to enough to make it but will make the U23’s team better overall. but as Eire says it’s all a gamble
Approx 1m from signing on fee and between 10 and 20 percent of his weekly wage would be about normal. Brother in law of a friend Looks after some high profile players and hes coining it. Private swimming at his house etc
Good Morning all. Great deal for Clark, gets his form back, and will be well happy, if he doesn't,cheers Spurs. Philips, sell for £30 million, if scum buy Villas midfielder for £50 million, then a better Philips is a bargain for them and too good to turn down. Really hoping for Costa this week,ready for the new season if we get him.
Looks like Sacko is being bought by a newly promoted Turkish side Dalavan. So one off the books plenty to go.
Because I’m assuming we sold Clarke to fund this seasons push. If we sold Philips for £20m then we lose a vital cog that would need replacing. It’s okay saying go out and spend £10m on his replacement but if that was out there Villa would take that option and save some cash. Cibicki, Forshaw, O’Kane, Anita, De Brock all players where we can save a few extra quid and bring a bit extra in
The Costa deal means we pay Wolves £2m for just borrowing him and also pay him £1m+ in wages so £3m on a player who isn't ours. In the past we've spent £3m on buying a mediocre player and being lumbered with him, but this way we get a £13m player and decide if we want to buy him in a year? Positive move
