To be honest at 21 if Sunderland was an option I’d have rejected big offers but only if Sunderland was an option.

Otherwise it’s a job, get paid as well as you can for it.

Surely there's more to a football career than cash ...

... I doubt Montgomery would swap his FA Cup winners medal for a Ferrari.

If I'm wrong then what's the point of it all.

Of course you swap an office job, for a much higher paid office job, but football is supposed to be a dream job, not just an income.

I really hope it's Akpom but if he was flying over for a medical I think we'd know more about it by now, even as tight lipped as we are the Le Fee story was known about before he flew over

Tbf that's because it was being plastered by Italian journos

You'd expect somthing from the dutch though, or atleast from that turkish one who first reported it. Ajax seem to let a few leaks through

If it's him on the plane I imagine it'll break tonight with something like 'deal agreed, medical taking place' etc
 
Tin hat on. Villa want X for Duran. Chelsea want to pay Y for Duran because of PSR. Saudi middleman comes in….

Duran goes to Saudi for £60m. Felix goes to Villa on loan from Chelsea to cover his position for the rest of the season. Chelsea sign Duran for £30m in summer. Both Villa and Chelsea PSR looking healthier.

What does the Saudi team get out of this, though? A 6 month loan at the cost of £30m?
 
The echo confirmed our interest in a loan for Akpom today btw, hopefully that plane does mean something <laugh>
 
He would do very well over there, needs to go somewhere where they will treat him as their main creative outlet
I’d like him to do well but that means them doing well and I can’t get behind that :emoticon-0102-bigsm
