rodders0223 Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Quote Championship side Aston Villa have signed defender James Bree for what Barnsley call a "substantial fee". How substantial? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobzy Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Seems like a humble lad who wants to learn and progress in his career - exactly the sort of character trait that young players seem to lack these days. Top stuff. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hippo Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 (edited) Don't underestimate Big Al - he's seen off many pretenders to his full back throne ! Edited January 25, 2017 by hippo 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted January 25, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted January 25, 2017 Welcome! Never seen you play but if you can cross the ball better than Alan Hutton then I'll love you longtime. And if you can't cross a ball better than Alan Hutton then you need to take a long, hard look at yourself 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markavfc40 Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Just watched his interview and he seems like a very grounded and level headed young man. I haven't seen him play but he comes with a good reputation and to have almost 60 senior appearances under your belt at 19 at a club that has been on the up and had success during that time is good going. Good luck to the lad. He could hopefully be our right back for many years and can grow with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 (edited) Answer my own question. Barnsley fans thought they would be getting about £4m for him, but the quoted initial figure is £1.4m. Sounds like we are the ones driving a hard bargain nowadays. Nice. http://barnsleyfc.org.uk/showthread.php?t=253243 Not happy Edited January 25, 2017 by rodders0223 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Way I look at it, we are paying around £6m for the two lads from Barnsley which is what we got for Gestede. I think that is a good bit of business all round and one which improves the team and squad balance. Good work Brucie. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
