  1. 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.
  2. 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
  3. 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
  4. 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
  5. 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.
  6. Seriously, everyone, a free transfer is not actually free! It would only be nominally cheaper than buying a player from a club.
  7. Wait, its just twitter rumours atm, right? Seems all abit farfetched so im going to presume its wrong.
  8. 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
  9. 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
  10. 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
  11. #FakeNews. He does have hammers emoji but hes apparently that and the gorilla emoji on there for years
  12. I do not know what you are talking about.
  13. 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
  14. Not specifically directed at you but i find it strange that people think getting a player on a free is that much better than on a transfer. The Agent of that player will know what his player is roughly worth and charge that in a signing on bonus because that's what teams would be willing to pay to get that player.
  15. The rumour is that an add on to the deal was Villa get an extra £15m if Man City/Grealish win the league. You can imagine as it's probably Villa Vs Man city to decide the league, it's getting hot in Twitter
  16. So everyone is agreed for next week? Martinez cash Ming's Chambers Digne/Young Sanson Luiz Ramsey Coutinho Ings Buendia
  17. Excited he gets the full 90
  18. I was texting with an agent yesterday but he didnt really offer much. So im in 31 day cancellation period. He did say once in cancellation period, no offers will populate my account. Which id be surprised about, maybe that doesnt include phone calls etc. we will see
  19. How did you get on with this, i am in process of cancelling and getting nothing atm
  20. If he plays well the way its looking like he might (yes, i know others have looked same like Jamez) do you think we are his best option. Spurs, West Ham....many other teams playin in Europe may be interested
  21. Can we get him signed up permanently before things get out of control. An option to buy is great and all, but im pretty worried if he performs well enough, he'll reject the option and go elsewhere
  22. Ah ok. I don't really think it should be here and he should be in other football. But if Hornso wants to as he says he does, who am I to get in the way of his exceptional work
  23. Sorry, I missed this earlier, but what is the difference for villa? When you say upon his return, it's pretty clear he's not going to return. He did a fairwell post and I'm sure villa did too
