Soon as we start sniffing mid table, watch those crazy offers start flooding in for our stars. I just hope they are prepared to heartbreak, our Owners won't let any of our stars go who are taking Villa to the heights we want to be. They will if the money is right and the scouts and coaches think they can reinvest it to improve the squad. Juventus have history for winning the league and then selling their big stars for daft money and then replacing them. I think for example they sold Zidane to Real Madrid straight after winning the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaVilla Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 1 minute ago, Dave-R said: I don't think we will sell anyone now, our owners have a plan and it's success the plan is, you can't be a seller club and top club at the same time. Winning things is what our chiefs are about and it's about damn time we got that kind of ownership. Mcginn won't be sold until we eye the next Mcginn replacement who's as young, hungry and as skilful as he is. i dunno, for the next couple of years i think every one of our players will have their price, hopefully it will be a good price and that money will be wisely reinvested in the players if we do sell, if i understand the owners correctly? The only player who possibly that doesnt apply to is Grealish as he's more of a talisman/mascot?, but who knows. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have different men now running the show who don't just snap the hands off in the first sign of any offer. We also don't need the money and it will be a hands off warning issued.. (also depends how much Man Utd would be prepared to pay to make those hands move aside) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Purslow said that we only want to sign players who will increase in value for the club (as in get better on pitch), or increase in value in transfer market, he didn't mean that we have a buy to sell policy. Only way McGinn will go is if he forces a move out of the club, but at this stage I doubt United even want him. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know. I still stand by what I said. The original story was also by Nixon. It resurfaced with Fergie apparently wanting him to sign strangely after he scored today and the goal went viral.

Nobody is saying he's going, think it's you that needs the chill pill, we are just having talks over whether we are a selling club or not. I think we are not a selling club and Mcginn or any of our players wouldn't be sold regardless because our Owners do not need money from the sale of our players, they rake enough of that in from other business ventures.

If our club needed the coin, we would of sold Grealish and Mcginn soon as we joined the prem. Edited July 28, 2019 by Dave-R 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lerner's Driver Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 It could happen, that doesn't mean it will, but you should get real if you think we will resist every single advance absolutely from now until we win the Champions League. For an entertainment business owner, there is always a balance to be struck between stoking the emotional (generating hope) and being pragmatic (raising funds). We just don't like the pragmatism suggested here because it messes with our karma and the narrative of our fast tracked, never ending glorious rise. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozvillain Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 He won’t go this season, he’s too crucial as part of the spine of the team from last year. Once new players settle though could be a different story in 12 months Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selling a key player wouldn't automatically make us a "selling club". It happens. A lot of people have been stung by that period 2009-11 where we lost Barry, Milner, and Young in consecutive summer windows, and every time it took the wind out of our sails, and sapped our spirit. But Spurs (Bale) and Liverpool (Coutinho) have shown how you can occasionally cash in on a star player, and use that cash to make your team stronger. Do you think either club would be in the position they are now if they hadn't done that? Let's say McGinn has an amazing season for us this year, and then one of the desperate, wealthy basketcases of European football (i.e. Man Utd or Real Madrid) offer us £250m for him. I think we at least consider it... Anyway, we all seem to be arguing over the brain droppings of that word removed Alan Nixon, so nothing to see here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
