It doesn't take that long to decide whether to sit on the bench at Everton every week or play in the championship with Villa. Have you seen bruces tactic board?

HAL Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 apparently the delay is arguing about wages . Everton want us to pay 100% of it and we dont want to 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bannedfromHandV Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 He'll be on a fair whack I'd imagine salary wise so would imagine there's zero chance of us paying 100%. Id guess less than 50% is what we'll be angling for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 I reckon we will end up paying 50%. I'm.guesisng he won't be able to play Saturday now ffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean this is Villa so we'll probably make it permanent in a year THEN his legs will fall off, but... You are correct, of course, I suppose it gives us a chance to assess him. Although, I wish he would show a bit of enthusiasm about joining us. It is beginning to look rather half-hearted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not getting a good vibe about this bloke already.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite right. You can be sure he’s not bothered who pays his wages as long as he receives them. If Everton are serious about us paying near 100% I guess we won’t get him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 I wonder how much of his wages Boro were prepared to pay and whether we will need to match that to sign him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair point, although i guess the players wishes come into it. Even if Boro are willing to pay 100%, if the player wants to come here a deal will be agreed.

villan-scott Posted August 23, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted August 23, 2018 I’m sure the local rags and journals would be chirping up if it had fallen through. Maybe just a negotiation snag with Everton. Hopefully it’ll get done in the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 (edited) I don’t think he could take a pay cut even if he wanted to could he? Not without a new contract. Edited August 23, 2018 by Vive_La_Villa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacketspuds Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 I don't think any club is going to pay 100% of his wages for a loan deal so it's most likely to be us or stay where he is. I wouldn't want us shelling out ridiculous sums of money on wages for any player given our recent financial "issues". Not until we are back in the Premier League. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danceoftheshamen Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 It doesn't smell right to me this, If he was coming i think today was the day, looks like his manager is piping up now with wishing he'd stay and fight for his place blah blah blah.... Will be surprised to see him sign now personally. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
