The next Yaya
-
Im pretty sure after rupturing his achilles hes not coming back this season at least
-
I can way in here a bit as I'm always hoping for Sanson to get on. It's right in saying he hasn't done anything at Villa. But the thought process is he hasn't had the opportunity. He's shown a few flashes of being a smooth player but that's it. He was a great player in France and came with big expectations. His manager quit after Sanson was sold from under him. It's a little like if Bruno G was bought by Newcastle but then never played. I'm not saying they're the same standard but Sanson was meant to be a real coup.
-
No Idea, I only know about AVB, and he's a no
-
again, i can assure you all its not AVB
-
I am never ITK about Aston Villa, except this time i do know it will not be AVB
-
Right, and how many did you miss? Or are you 100% accurate
-
Yes he does, but he's at Arsenal
-
My thoughts are, even if he wasn't holding out, I'd take the £20m. He has shown he is a great U23 player with loads of potential but wasn't anything special in seniors. There's many players who have been in a similar position and not made anything of themselves. I'll take the £20m, he could be ravel Morrison.
-
I'm genuinely interested in @sir_gary_cahill and @useless thoughts on this but don't have time to trawl. If you can be bothered please say them again, thanks
-
I mean he played in England yesterday
-
Right but using Samson for example, they are suggesting he was put on £50k a week because he was considered a top player when bought. Villa wouldn't value Sanson's performances as £50k. Also, Chuk was worse than terrible Sanson in his appearance last year according to most fans, there's nothing to say they would be better this year. Chuks role in the squad currently is not a starter and shouldnt be paid that way. If he was 27 would he have got the 12 appearances? Or are villa giving him game time to help his progress? Does his performances deserve 12 appearances.
-
Compare the squad and Ings/Watkins to West Ham's Squad and Antonio. Pick a starting 11 from both teams. Hopefully it'll give you abit of reassurance it is possible
-
WTF is Javier Saviola doing on that list aswell, scored 50 goals for Barca. If that's flopping........ I was going to say Ravel before seeing the list
-
What do you mean? Why's that incorrect. There would have been numerous clubs after him and if they all value him at 20m then they'll offer close to that value to get him and their agent will pick for it. If Villa wanted him as first choice and valued him at 20m but Newcastle also wanted him and offered 15 m, you don't think villa would offer 17m. Villa would still get a player they value at 20m for a 3m discount. However if Newcastle also valued him at 20m they'd probably offer 18m and so on. It's a free market with sellers (agent &player) and buyers (teams) and so his price will be at market equilibrium. Obviously there are factors that change this (i.e cut price to a preferred team) but probably not by much in this case. When buying from a club it's not really a free market if a team doesn't want to sell a player and that's why price can be above market equilibrium. That difference is the money you save on free transfers
-
I would say he will have a signing on bonus similar to how much he would be worth as a transfer from a club. Or his wages are significantly more that cover the same costs. If Tarkowski is worth 20m and 80k a week and has numerous teams interested. Then those teams would start offering close to that figure or equivalent to the player and agent. You're not getting him for 80k and a couple of mill sign on because the agent would demand the best offer, which will be near his value. The difference where you do save, is where a club that owns the player doesn't want to sell and wouldn't accept market value. I.e JWP.

Seriously, everyone, a free transfer is not actually free! It would only be nominally cheaper than buying a player from a club.
-
Wait, its just twitter rumours atm, right? Seems all abit farfetched so im going to presume its wrong.

Oh, my only sort of ITK: Newcastle owner has said to a source in response about Paqueta that although it sounds good, Newcastle are happy with their midfield options and will be concertrating on attackers and defenders this window. So maybe not
-
The question was: "If there is a striker that's clearly better than our current forwards, and would come to us, and cost 40m please inform the rest of us." Nunez does not in anyway fit this criteria. He is clearly better than our current forwards but - He would not come to us, he's going to a top team He's does not cost 40m, looks like he's going for around 100m

I don't think is as much of a bargain as you think. There would have been many other teams trying to sign him and so we would have had to be at the top of those offers. If he would be worth 40m at a team, then that's what his agent would be looking for. The savings you make from a free transfer is the difference between that players market value and the extra money the team would look for if he was contracted. I.e JWP on a free would have been cheaper than what Southampton were pushing for. Your giving ruthless agents a disservice if you think they aren't getting very close to a players market value for their player on a free

#FakeNews. He does have hammers emoji but hes apparently that and the gorilla emoji on there for years
-
I do not know what you are talking about.

60m over 5 years could be split as £24m fee and £100k a week, which sounds about right. Again, "free" players arnt free. they and their agent will take the equivalent of a transfer fee. They are often cheaper as theirs no club in the middle. however you have to give a large signing fee to outbid other teams
