Pinebro Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 New contracts these days doesn't really mean much. All it means is we will get premium money for him if a champions league club is in for him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree that the contract is only as god as the fee we can get for him, but from a business standpoint this ranks even better than getting the silly money we got for that Chelsea reserve a few months ago..... If the performances on the pitch can one day match the business acumen of the club we will be in very good shape. We live in (never-ending) hope.....

He was a decent punt at £20 million as a squad player. Only English clubs can pay a premium and he’s not a starter for any of the top 6 clubs imo.

Wurzel Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 I am completely bemused by this news, it's good of course, but what has changed and what has he been promised? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoony Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 Not to be the typical Villa fan turd in the punch bowl but I feel like amongst all this will he won’t he with his contract and the interest from Arsenal that we have rewritten a bit how good he is as football. He’s decent but he’s far from Arsenal’s level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think that Doug, Boubs and another (yet to be signed) CM would solve many of our issues by giving us balance and control in midfield. Doug has struggled to do that because he's been partnered by McGinn and JJ more often than not and so teams can just press Doug harder and deeper. I'd love to think that he has seen something to be more positive about - but if not I hope that at least the new release clause is pretty good for the summer.

Kamara as DM, Luiz as shuffler and JJ as box to box is the right blend 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a player good enough for a CL club to be interested can still leave just so as long as it brings us big money that is a hell of a lot better than them leaving and us getting a packet of peanuts. We've got a hell of lot of work to do before we will be in a position where a player will turn down CL football to play for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad we aren’t losing him on a free. You do yourself a disservice, you’ve been confident he was staying for as long as I can remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would assume he’s been given a hefty signing on fee which would compensate for any signing on fee he would have received as a free agent. A good increase in wages. And possibly a release clause at an affordable price that won’t price him out of a move if he wants one. All assumptions but would make sense to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree In principle, but out of contract he would be in a far stronger position to negotiate wages with potential suitors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like the option of having Boubs, Luiz and someone who is a bit of the best of both of them for the big matches and then having the ability to use JJ (and possibly even McGinn) in the last 30 or for games where someone breaking from the midfield beyond the attacking 3 is likely to be more effective. But based on our current options - hell yes that should be the starting 3 every day of the week and twice on match day!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
