If we sold for £18m to Ipswich, Villa would still have got 5.4 million... so it doesnt matter where he goes we still haven't done fabulously out of it.. Pull the plug, say he's not for sale, make him play his contract and hope that he improves and is worth 30 in January.,
But imagine if we could do that every year?
 
This^
The buy back etc made me assume we wouldn’t keep him.
Without Villa’s clauses we wouldn’t have had him in the first place and he was low risk for us too because we always knew we’d likely get our money back at least.
Like a free loan really

Free loan with a massive profit & lots of goals. Win win really.
More of this please

The Philogene sell on clause is absolutely fine. It's still a massive profit after having someone for a year and it should give us the funds to repeat it 2/3 times this window.

It's smart for Villa to take him back and means it's been a win win plus we'll still get add ons and a sell on.
 
It is that bad isn’t it :emoticon-0126-nerd: I wouldn’t have bothered with Turkey trip. Delay until we have more first team players.

I don't even know why they are travelling Turkey. Turkey is great for warm weather winter camps, which doesn't really exist in Championship schedule.

But in summer, Turkey is just great for beaches, even league games are starting in mid-August and stops each 20 mins for water breaks.

If it wasn't Turkey it would be somewhere else hot like Portugal. Pretty standard thing for UK teams early in pre-season.
