Hopefully we do OK tomorrow as I might have got carried away with Villa love by putting in Targett, Luis and Watkins. I usually do the same. Anyway I’ve got what you’ve got minus Luiz.

Delphinho123 Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 This guy someone we trust? Either way, it seems to back up the notion the fee is what’s holding this up. Come on Villa, sort it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just rehashes info from respected journos and passes it off as his own. He didn’t seem to have any inside scoop. However, the above is most likely correct. I suspect Werder want more up front from us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thabucks Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 (edited) I wonder if our bid is acceptable but Werder are hanging on in, desperate for another offer & poss bidding war. I find it strange we would be still be haggling over the fee after all these weeks. Edited September 20, 2020 by thabucks 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted September 20, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted September 20, 2020 We've agreed the fee more times than the number of deleted pages on this thread. I really can't believe that's the issue. Not after all this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 What's the actual problem with the fee? I thought Bremen wanted about 18m? That's actually quite cheap in modern times for a relative proven top 5 league international final third player. We paid 2 million less for an unproven top level RB this summer. Even if they want 25m we pretty much paid that for Wesley last summer. I still think it's more the player undecided although surely he knows by now Leipzig don't want him and staying at Bremen dosen't seem that appealing as judging by their result they'll be in another relegation battle whereas we're more of an unknown.

However, after seeing how poor they were yesterday they now know they need to bring in some new players urgently. They've only got a couple of weeks to do that now so I would think they'll want a resolution to this soon to give them time to bring in players. It could be that their performance and result kicks them into action. I'm hopeful we'll see movement this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems odd if we are haggling over a fee of £18m for this guy but had no qualms paying £17m up front for Traoré. I really, really hope we get this done this week. Maybe an announcement tomorrow before the game. Please Villa get this done. I’m confident this guy will be a huge improvement on what we have and link up so well with Jack. I’d honestly just pay £20m+ ASAP and get it done, the guy will be worth a lot more in a couple of years.

To be fair, it's only a couple of weeks ago we were slating the board for not paying up the " 20 - 22 mill " that Brentford wanted for Watkins. Turned out to be 28 rising - 33. For all we know, Brentford might have ACTUALLY wanted 35! At the end of the day, we are talking millions of pounds here.

Odd one as Traore will probably have to wait a few more days for his visa so not sure we'll see him at Fulham either. Would've been good to have a new wide player + Watkins up and running for the first two games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe our deal is sorted but they won’t let go until they have their players in place.....who knows! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
