He has a great record in this league and is still only 24. Kodjia and Hogan would mean goals. Personally to me it shows intent but I still can't believe it.

Vive_La_Villa Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 With the transfer fees and wages we are spending on championship players does anyone think we could be in big trouble if we don't get up in the next 2 seasons. We never even spent like this in Learners early days and even then the spending wasn't sustainable. What happened to FFP? I'm not complaining but where is all this money coming from? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless there are some seriously generous release clauses inserted. Bree and Hourihane could have probably gone to the Premier League and chose us. It not beyond the realms of possibility that we are the best option for the lad at this stage of his career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He signed a year extension till end of next season according to sky sports so still has 18 months to go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hogan was strongly linked a few times in the brum mail at the beginning of the window Bruce probably unaware of that - most seemed to think Rhodes was the striker we were in for .

Personally I think there are several key differences between Xia's spending and Lerner's early spending: 1. FFP only became a thing after Lerner had been spending, so Lerner wasn't able to plan around FFP the same way Xia is. 2. Xia seems to be worth a lot more than Lerner (or at least has access to a lot more cash than Lerner did). Lerner also got hit massively by his divorce 3. Xia seems to have his head screwed on, and seems to have surrounded himself with people who know the industry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshVilla Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 (edited) 1 hour ago, striker said: It would be 10m if the Ayew deal goes through. Considering who Villa have already brought in with the 6m gleaned from the Gestede transfer that would be a very low overall expenditure for the squad being strengthened in all departments in one window. He has nowhere near the goalscoring pedigree of Rhodes though and costs more? I'm not sure were in the position to buy potential at the moment if we were comfortably in the top 2 and going up i'd defo get Hogan though one for the future Edited January 30, 2017 by AshVilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
