villaglint Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 Can’t see either Luton or Shef Utd being able to pay what he’s worth. Tricky deal to get done I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indigo Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 Akpom to Ajax has been confirmed. Obviously the reports and likely reality is that Archer will prefer a Premier League move, but I wouldn't be surprised to see Boro make even more of a push for him too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 If Archer goes to the Championship then I think only Leeds or Leicester could afford him and I'm not sure about Leeds, for if he goes to that division there's no point in us putting in buy-back clause, which will add significantly to the transfer fee, would probably be talking twenty million or more without buy-back. With buy-back I think Sheffield United more likely, for around £15m, or maybe a loan to Luton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villatillidie95 Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 Don't think its going to be feasible for him to go to Middlesbrough considering they couldnt pay the 10 mil for akpom....perhaps sheffield united if they part with 3/4 of the ndiaye money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Albrighton Posted August 20, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted August 20, 2023 (edited) My immediate go to comparison with these buy back deals is the Douglas Luiz one, which I think was buying for 15m and a potential buy back for 25m. All deals are different but a 20m sale with a 50m buy back seems quite a substantial jump up. Maybe such a deal would also include a sell on fee to act as the additional sweetener for us, as opposed to the option of buying him back. That’s assuming any of the suggestion is accurate.

momo Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 Archer, Ramsey's, Philogene-Bidace, Iroegbunam should be the future core of Aston Villa. Carney was supposed to be one of them too.. It's a shame to sell them off. What's better then players from your own academy? I can't see so many players this good coming through at the same time again in the future.

Captain_Townsend Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 (edited) That's all well and good mate but the current core of Aston Villa is Kamara, Luiz, McGinn, Ramsey Diaby and Watkins with Youri and Zaniola chomping at the bit. Who do you drop from there to start blooding young players with potential but unproven? Edited August 20, 2023 by Captain_Townsend 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm trying to work out if it is that big. I think any player we buy to replace Watkins would come in at over 50m these days. That's the only way I see him coming back tbh, if he's good enough to be our starting forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
