https://x.com/Total_Villa/status/1931690728368832825 Probably for a move to LaLiga though as I think that was touted a few weeks ago. Odd purchase from Villa if it's true.
They didn’t really want him in first place was to balance out the Luiz deal and they’d hope to cash in later. Been very good for Valencia.
As soon as we are mentioned looking at a player we seem to get lots of ‘Burnley, Wolves, West Ham etc’ are also looking at him posts. We may be favourites to go back down but could easily bounce back up and I can see how that can be a downside for players we want but we have a huge advantage over every other premiership club. We can offer first team football. Apart from LeFee, all positions are up for grabs. Mayenda, Hume, Cirkin will probably start but if we’re targeting players in the £20million range, none of these 3 would be guaranteed starters. Mundle and Ballard would have to fight for their start. Neil and Patterson are currently starters but given competition of an incoming £20million player they may well be subs. The rest are subs. All the other teams have better players than us so a £20million player would likely not start for them. Come to us and you’ll play.
Aye. With 15% sell on we all want him to. I think he will, I can see him going for £60-80mill in 2-3 years.
Thank you Jobe and thank you Mark Bellingham, Doddsy, Speakman etc for the gift of being part of his career
We’ve got one hell of a war chest the ability to offer first team football with notable gaps in the 11 a coach whose style is naturally aligned with how we should be playing in order to stay in this league The nature of this deal has me believing we can turn this energy into similar incoming deals
God, it’s so nice to have adults in charge of our football club. Can you imagine what we’d have sold him for during the Short era?
