And just like that, the Guardian story has been updated to say Villa have made an offer. Damn I'm good.
A player I wouldn’t minded here (though we were never linked to him) Matheus Pereira of West Brom has signed for a Saudi club
Sounds bs to be... reaks of desperation from Blackburn to pay a premium. They won't get it, they'll buckle eventually.
He has 4 followers on Twitter, and his account has existed for less than a day. I'm guessing he's a very plugged-in source, that one.
How would this work in getting a premium? Having bidders exit the race ? Slightly unclear on your comment
I meant what I write! Other clubs are not going to pay the money they want. There is alot of noise from every where stating this team is bidding this, and this much... yet it's all bs. It's agents and media trying to push up the price.
Seems to have been acting up over the last few months to force and move and is focused on earning a high salary above all else. He'll fit right in here!
Perhaps his wage demands are indirectly our fault as he has recently been exposed to Ely (60k) and Forster (70-75k) and thinks “I am better than both of them”
Sad reality is, whoever we sign, if they turn out any good they will push for a move to a bigger club for bigger money at some point. The question is, who is better for us out of Edouard and Armstrong? I have no idea.
Just read an article on Edouard which says PSG are due 40% of any sale. The kind of sell on clauses we should be pushing for! Edit - he’s also in his final year of his contract so he’ll be moving somewhere this summer.
