You just reinforced my statement. Besides PSG, the French league is shite. You make me wish Villa were French. We would be 2nd in ligue 1 and in the champions league.....cause ligue 1 is shite right. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 3 hours ago, Bomvilla7 said: Still catching up but this is something I don't understand. I had thought that the players contracted salary remains the same, and the offer is to the club for how much of it we will cover. Clubs surely don't have to offer a loan salary to the player as well? maybe I'm reading this wrong but i'm pretty sure I've seen this more than once before where a player chooses one club over another to go on loan to because the offer was better. You are correct. We may have offered to pay a higher proportion of his wages and our interest in making the loan permanent may have had some impact, but I have since heard him interviewed on Talksport. He said that working with and learning about central defending from JT was what attracted him to us along with our being such a big club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's saying someone playing in the Championship, or any league for that matter isn't a direct reflection on their qualtity. Pointing out that Jack Grealish, currently in his 3rd Championship campaign has had 25m bids from Spurs only proves that point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any time I have seen him he has been the stand out player, and everything seemed to go to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnnyp Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 So that's 5 of the u23s, including Clark who was already at port vale, at league 2 clubs now. It's good. If they are good enough they'll make it here . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villa are shit too, but if we're pulling players in that one of the best teams in that country are tying to sign, the French league is garbage.

Ruben Neves was playing in the Championship last season. Which is crazy but only goes to show there can be good players in this league, here for a variety of reasons. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
