Popular Post Dante_Lockhart Posted September 21, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 21, 2020 Lets face it, Sky is not the same kind of beast it used to be back in the 90s/00s. They have lost credibility and most likely a lot of their sources. They're desperately clinging on to their past glories and their name. Kind of like Man Utd. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teale's 'tache Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 1 minute ago, RichiBoi11 said: This is just another example of how journalistic standards are continuing to slip at Sky. They just make stuff up, so you can pretty much ignore the large majority of what they say when itcomes to any clubs transfers, it's all guess work. This would imply at some point they had some journalistic standards. I don't think that's ever been the case. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best yet, read the thread and shut up it’s getting repetitive now Wow. Do we need to check all 1150 pages to ensure we dont repeat ourselves? Do we need to cross reference all individual dedicated threads before carelessly posting possibly duplicated information or anything more appropriately directed under the dedicated thread? With this clamp down, how are we gong to hit 2000 pages before the window shuts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe one more midfielder in on loan and that’s it. No mention of Rashsica or anyone else Villa have been linked to here. Let hope Villa turn that on its head? Would that be those 3 clowns sitting round the table discussing speculation 'Transfer Centre'? It's comical viewing, they don't know shit either.

El-Reacho Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 2 hours ago, Rolta said: Unless we were haggling over the fee with Bremen, which is massively possible despite your expressing of your opinion. Look at Watkins for example—do you not think Watkins wanted to come to us? So what was the hold up there? Considering how much we spent on him, you'd imagine it was the fee Brentford were asking for. There could be all sorts of clauses being negotiated - not just the overall fee. Look how long it takes to buy a house after you've negotiated the price.

Lord Willard Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 44 minutes ago, AntrimBlack said: Can Luiz refuse to return to City if they invoke the buy back clause? That does not seem to make sense from City's end. Anyone know the legal stance on this? I know I would love us to keep him. I'm pretty sure we have a legal binding agreement that we accept the transfer of 35m*, then it's up to Dougie to accept personal terms. He could refuse them and he stays a Villa player but if Man city come knocking they could double his wages if they wanted and he'll go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TreeVillan Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 That's the problem with buy back clauses. Basically a glorified loan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same as anyone else who tries to buy him but they have a fixed price we would have to accept. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Made In Aston Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 16 hours ago, thunderball said: @Adam2003 but when we sold Adama he was rubbish, Barcelona were not bothered. And if Barcelona wanted to buy Luiz for £50m, Man City would exercise their option and flip him on for a profit as they have done before. I would just rather we don’t entertain those sorts of deals again. Now what do you think of Chris Mepham? I remember him going to Bournemouth for about £15m,which was one of the highest transfers from the Championship at the time. He hadn't really lived up to that price tag, but I do love the smell of fresh Mepham rumours first thing in the morning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alreadyexists Posted September 21, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted September 21, 2020 It’s a byproduct of 24 hour rolling news, in this case sports news, that they have to just gabble a load of rubbish to fill the time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Scorpio Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 What those two numpties know about the goings on at villa can be written on the back of a Birmingham city fan's brain CT scan. E.g. it's really **** small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
