    I think what we are all forgetting in these "windows" is the role the dreaded football agent plays in all this, he's only there to make money for himself, and it means nothing at all to him where his commodity (player) goes, as long as he can make the maximum amount of money for himself, after all, where the players new club is based makes not a blind bit of difference to him, as he doesn't have to go there every day, so it could well be that agent is trying to push the price up as well as Brentford hanging out for the best deal, and at long last we are not that desperate to sell players. I know it appears that we are going against our "model" for moving a player on, but he has only done 1 year of a four year contract and now has three years left, hence the reluctance to let him move on just yet, The January window opens in just 21 weeks time and perhaps his agent realises that could be more beneficial financially to all parties concerned, who knows how they work? what I do know is they seem to make a lot of money just for sitting round a table talking. money!!

    I can't for the life of me understand why Villa don't/can't,won't buy and develop their own young players, it can't be cheap the way you are doing it, I suppose it's because you are awash with Premiership money and can't be asked.

    If you want to believe the press and click bait sites Maupay is off to Brighton, and Benrahma wants to join Villa, If you want the TRUTH Brentford have yet to receive any offers for players with the exception of Romaine Sawyers who's derisory bid from Celtic was turned down and they were told to come back with a sensible offer, but there are still 17 days or so left until the window is closed, so anything can happen, and usually does.

    So were the rest of the 1st team apart from 2 players, it was a B team run out that played today in a 2-2 draw at Wycombe Wanderers.

    Ezri Konsa

    No, the £12 million release clause is exactly what you paid, no more, no less, but there could be "undisclosed" sell on clause, only the clubs will know what that was, if there was one?

    Ezri Konsa

    jonjon replied to MaVilla's topic in Villa Talk

    Congrats on getting Ezri by the way, you will not be disappointed with him, he will go along way, good business for you and another few millions in the kitty for us, keeps both clubs happy. Our owner had a plan worked on the “moneyball” system, (a word he hates by the way) he prefers analytics and statistics that run along side his own business (SmartOdds), With our new stadium nearly ready for next year we are now investing our players sales profit at long last to get to the promised land, we have made £28 million profit on 4 players this year so far, we have just reinvested in 5 new players for £19 million in the last couple of weeks, a sum by far the greatest we have ever spent, in fact we have only spent £36.6 million in transfers in 129 years!!! We have two more players in the pipeline that can be purchased with the sale of Maupay, (probably to you), so things are now slowly changing here and hopefully if promotion comes we will be able to stop selling. Good luck with this season, you will be fine with Dean at the helm, who knows, we might be up there with you sooner than later.

    That's not going to happen, we don't do loans, as far as I can remember Dean Smith and our DOF's stopped doing them about 2-3 seasons ago, and I think Villa want to go down the same route, why nurture and develop another teams players at the expense of your own.
  8. jonjon
    He's still undergoing treatment for his injury and is working on getting fit, but is doubtful even for the start of the season, so he could be a risky buy at the moment, out of all our players they are prepared to sell, he's the one they are desperate to keep hold of if they can, but money talks, so who knows?
  9. jonjon
    I can see you getting Konsa & Maupay, but am surprised there are no rumours linking Dean Smith and Rico Henry, unless someone wants to start one
  10. jonjon
    Just press talk and tittle tattle at the moment, but who knows, this transfer window is suddenly picking up speed for every club, we have just signed Mathias Jensen from Celta Vigo today, that makes 5 new signings for us so far this window, and I don't think we have stopped.
  11. jonjon
    Be patient, he's on his way to you
  12. jonjon
    Not yet, but when the finished article he will be worth a lot more than 20m, just hope we have a large sell on clause, we usually do!
  13. jonjon
    Insanity!!! You have obviously never seen him play, except the few games on TV, he has exceptional talent for a young man with over 100 league games already under his belt, He will not be purchased as a back up, DS will make sure of that, that's why a reported bid from Villa has come in, DS will be spending the money to play him from the off.
  14. jonjon
    I watched him in every home match he played in, he's a very, very talented lad with ambition, with a lot more to come and I don't think Konsa will want to play second fiddle for long, DS will know how to use him, at the journalist so called prices quoted (£12 Million) he will be a steel with a long future ahead of him.
  15. jonjon
    NO WAY!! but give us £5 million, and we will take him off your hands.
  16. jonjon
    No, But you might get a special deal today, buy Maupay for £20 Million, and we throw in Konsa for £12 Million, but be quick
  17. jonjon
    No script to follow my son, just the truth, and letting him know that we have made more than £2 million in transfer fees this year, not difficult to understand is it?
  18. jonjon
    They also sold Nico Yenaris to China for £5 million and they still have the £12 million from Bournemouth for Chris Mepham, so there was £19 million in the war chest, and we hopefully have La Liga midfielder on his way, so there is no need to sell anyone. Despite all click bait and "a source" material put about, Brentford confirmed yesterday that they have no pending enquiries for Maupay or Benrahma from any club, it is all press speculation and journalist tripe, and they are looking to keep them, but should any enquiry come in and the clubs price is met, they will sell. Benrahma did not travel to Austria for summer camp training as he is still undergoing treatment and rehabilitation for his recent injury/surgery, Maupay did travel with them.

    One Day, One Day, we all hope Haven't you heard, we start at £20 million!!! (if you checked click bait)

    Never posted on that, we are a dual supporting couple, because for my sins my wife is a long time Villa supporter being born in the area, I only post on here out of interest and to keep her up to date.
  21. jonjon
    Please keep up, like most well run clubs we don't employ a Managers, only a Head Coach, we have moved on with the times, unlike some clubs.
  22. jonjon
    I don't think we have every done a "cheeky" bid, but there is always a first time I suppose , but on the other hand what do us supporters know?
  23. jonjon
    No different to Villa then?
  24. jonjon
    What a load of made up rubbish from the SUN, they have no idea what Brentford will sell him for, if at all, the club have categorically stated today that they have had no enquiries for him at all, as yet, and if they do the price will always be an "undisclosed figure", and the general public will only find out the true figure in next years accounts, so don't get sucked in by the click bait rumours, why are supporters so obsessed with the price of players? after all it doesn't come out of their pockets !!!
  25. jonjon
    Could be the Brentford player Kamohelo Mokotjo who played his 19th match for the winning South African side that beat Egypt, but if you believe click bate sites he will cost you £20 Million !!!!
