CVByrne Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 Hope it is Barca he goes to, they should be able to offer us the fee we are after and a sell on clause. They can loan him straight back to a team like Palace or someone in the Prem. Would be great for Villa fans to get to boo him this season as a farewell gesture.

I'd say we'll get between £15-20m for Carney + sell on clause. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delphinho123 Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 Craig Hope is usually one of the more reliable journalists to be fair. Worth noting that if Carney thinks he's going to get a game in that Barcelona team, he's got to get ahead of.....Lewandowski, Aubameyang, Fati, Dembele, Depay, A. Traore, F. Torres, Raphinha, Gavi, Pedri, Busquets, De Jong, Kessie. Puig and Pjanic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if he stays at us he's not going to get enough game time to develop. Best he goes, sell him cheap with a 30% buy back clause , a sell on clause is to easy to work around . What would this entail? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 (edited) Barca doing what they did with Barry, buy him (don’t pay the fee) then sell him on for a profit a year later. Bank on it. Edited July 20, 2022 by Dodgyknees 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbcuk Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 If he does go to Barcelona, I can’t see him playing much for the 1st team, he’ll be in that barca B side, esp if de jong stays as he ain’t playing in front of what they currently have in midfield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Panto_Villan Posted July 20, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 20, 2022 I think the club has got the handling of the situation right so far, and I hope that unless he signs the contract he doesn't get to play for the senior team or our youth teams. I'm sure we're contractually obliged to continue to provide him training on a daily basis so that should continue, but no competitive football unless he signs. I'm not at all worried it'll put off other youth prospects. There's plenty of examples of players making it into the first team here, and Grealish is a great example of how you can still get your big money move if you stick around. I don't think it would hurt to also have an example of how badly things could go for you if you dick the club around with your contract though. I think Carney is going to be left looking quite silly if the club plays hardball and one of the clubs that admires him doesn't come in with a big bid. Are people going to want to pay him big wages after 6-12 months of no football? If not, he'd have been better staying here and just taking the big pay rise we're no doubt offering him. I can't imagine JJ or even Archer / KKH / Ireogbunam are short of a few quid even now, even if they're not yet on the same money a full pro would be. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
