Unless there's some sort of advantage to them that were not aware of. We aren't privacy to the minutia of the agreement.
I’m not sure what’s changed, Villa always had a sell on clause. Regardless where he ends up, they were always getting it. We’ll end up at least doubling our money in a year….why wouldn’t you take that
But we receive the same as we'd have to pay them the 30% regardless. It makes sense if they actually want the player though.
Villa can sell him straight on to Ipswich for the already agreed £18m (pocketing £6m) and add on their own sell on clause. Rather than us holding the sell on clause with Ipswich. Perhaps.
Not really, they get the value in the player instead of the 30% cash value. But it does keep a proportion of the fee out of the ffp picture
Regardless of whether it’s £18 million, £12 million or £6 million, the good news is we can reinvest that money in signing James Bree and Oliver Norwood and that is the most important thing. Building a squad for the future.
Doesn't affect us as we lose 30% to Villa either way*. The only thing it might mean for us is that this drags out a bit longer. Villa could buy back to sell on which would make them a tidy bonus but comes with risk. We still leave the deal with the same cash. Ultimately making 7.5/8mil profit on a player in a year regardless of what we think the value could be is smart business. If we could do that every year we'd be laughing. *one caveat is that if the double deal at Ipswich is 40mil (for arguments sake), its sounds live we're trying to construct the deal as 25 mil JG and 15 mil JP to reduce the 30% sell on as much as possible by putting as much as the value as possible in the JG part of the deal.
James Bree is a good signing! You need to check twitter anyway, the number 6 we’ve needed has just been linked
How can we have a sell on clause with a club we didn't sell the player to? Any contract would be between Villa and Ipswich we wouldn't be involved. They'd have to match the fee. I won't come back but that's my thoughts on a hypothetical situation.

Big physical midfielder but can play abit as well. we should’ve got him when he was a free agent 2 seasons ago but would be a very good signing
Seri out, Yokuslu in? Wouldn't be a bad bit of business. Experienced in the Championship and in general, a buddy for Abdus, 30 years old so probably has one more move in him. Oh, and he's a proper DM. Same agent as Allayah and Tufan so might be a go-er.
