jon_c Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Is it a buy out clause, or a release clause? One means the player can buy out their own contract for a set amount. The other we're obliged to release them if a club meets a certain bid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post It's Your Round Posted July 11, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted July 11, 2016 (edited) If there's any chance at all he can be persuaded to stay then we should keep him. Same goes for Veretout. They were both decent players in France, Veretout's stats especially were very good. Last season (their first in a new league and country) was very tough, the issues were way deeper than them just being rubbish. If RDM can create a settled squad with an identity, purpose, positive attitude and team spirit. Then Gana and Veretout will flourish in the Championship. It's a level more akin to Ligue 1, they'll have had a proper pre-season and will know what's expected of them. Benefitting from the consistency that the new management and coaching structure will bring. If they go then they go. It will be a bit disappointing if they do though. Especially as we won't have seen their potential in a Villa shirt. Edited July 11, 2016 by It's Your Round 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The result is (if the rumour is true) that Villa will receive £7m (which we apparently dont need) from whoever wants to buy his contract, and we will struggle to replace him!

Barney_avfc Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 http://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2016/07/11/roberto-di-matteo-keen-to-trim-aston-villa-squad-as-celtic-weigh/ Roberto Di Matteo keen to trim Aston Villa squad as Celtic weigh up a third bid for Scott Sinclair Roberto Di Matteo is ready to drastically trim his Aston Villa squad as Celtic weigh up a third bid for Scott Sinclair. Di Matteo is keen to sell at least four players this summer after inheriting a bloated squad following Villa's relegation from the Premier League. Sinclair could be the first high-profile departure, with Celtic manager Brendan Rodgerspreparing an improved offer of £3million to sign the former Manchester City winger. Villa have turned down two bids from Celtic for the 27-year-old but are expecting a third approach later this week, with Di Matteo determined to lower numbers in his squad. Micah Richards and Ciaran Clark both have £5million release clauses while Jordan Ayew, Jordan Veretout and Idrissa Gueye are believed to have interest from clubs in England and abroad. Brad Guzan, the goalkeeper, is a target for Middlesbrough and Burnley have inquired about midfielder Ashley Westwood. And Di Matteo has admitted that shifting players out is a priority after adding three new signings - Tommy Elphick, Aaron Tshibola and Pierluigi Gollini - since his appointment.

VillaChris Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 We certainly need to trim at centre half. If you look at Elphick being an obvious first pick given he was captain in the friendly then there's 1 place up for grabs between Okore, Clark, Baker, Richards and Lescott. We are pretty bloated at CB now. Okore is in the good books again and Baker just played a season so he's o.k as back up so need to get rid of two. Imagine 10m for Clark and Richards....

As a DM for us he was the 2and best DM in the prem, only a hiker behind N'golo Mantel at Leicester. We should be talking about him as a £25m player. There is a difference between second best, and being second in the 'tackles made' list. He wasn't good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just get rid of our worst players. Vertout may have looked good on video before we signed him but he stank the place out last season when he played. Last season was incredibly forgettable, yes, but I can't think of one positive contribution he made during the season.

KSV Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 If interest in kodjia is true.. Baker may go the other way? If Westwood goes we have Gardner and Lyden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vincenzo Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 F' em, let them go if they want to go! None of them had any real passion or fight last season, so I won't be sad to see any of them go. If they want to stay and turn it around then fair play and I'm right behind them. I want players who care about the club and have some spirit. Both of those were sadly lacking for the most part last season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshVilla Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 If Okore is staying i'd get him to sign an extension Would be typical villa if he were to have a great season in the championship then piss off in the summer for nothing should we get promoted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillanousOne Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Gueye is the most over rated player we have ever had, people seem to go more by stats rather than what they see with their own eyes. Every game he would be excellent for 20 mins then disappear for the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
