John Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 9 hours ago, MessiWillSignForVilla said: Hegazi at West Brom supposedly has a £2.5m relegation release clause. Not seen much of him, but surely would be worth a punt if we go up? Edit: Evans has one at £3m too. Risky taking the bottom clubs CB pairing, but £5.5m for the pair is a steal. Evans has a £3m release clause but his agent apparently wants £4m as well which has delayed any real to date. £7m is still a decent alternative to the likes of Dawson, Shawcross, Flint or Gibson if someone can get over paying more to his agent than the selling club.

I thought that small fee mentioned was the loan fee. Which was brought up as the reason the West Ham couldn’t recall him when Moyes wanted to in January. I can’t remember a permanent fee mentioned, but I might be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may well be right it would make sense if that figure was the loan fee rather than the permanent one but that was what was said at the time of the move on Snoddy's topic.

Villan_of_oz Posted May 21, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted May 21, 2018 Would anyone have James Collins back to the club? He use to be a favourite of mine until all that stuff with him and Dunne went down, felt they both let us down but then club was clearly already in a downward spiral. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodders0223 Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 In hindsight we should never have let him go, but was a big character and Lambert only wanted little children. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure he used to go drinking cans of cider as soon as games finished back in the day. Why are people interested in getting old players back at the club who are clearly unsuitable, young, benteke, collins... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alreadyexists Posted May 21, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted May 21, 2018 I’ve not heard of him, but he plays for Strasbourg in the French Lige 1... his stats aren’t very impressive. I think this is probs just a nonsense link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t speak for others, but I thought about Collins earlier today because I saw that Gold and Sullivan apparently told him via email that he will be leaving the club. Nothing to do with rekindling old flames, just a coincidence. As a free transfer, I’d assume he’d be a half-decent option (although I haven’t watched him since we were in the Prem). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry I thought everyone knew this as I found out and I'm in Australia. That's what made me think of him. Thanks for clearing up my point for me Rob. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
