The_Steve Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 £15m is a low risk deal in all honesty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaVilla Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 Still don't know how to feel about this, if it was wilson AND watkins fine, not sure i would be happy with wilson instead of watkins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete101 Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 Not the most exciting signing but let's get it done , send samatta on loan to somewhere like Celtic where he will look like a superstar in a shit league and recoup a fee for him next summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially if we get Watkins too, as I'm not sure I'd be happy if this is an alternative to Watkins.

Johnnyp Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 I really don't think we are getting Wilson and Watkins. It's either or. I think we've firmed up our interest in Wilson because we are 2 weeks out from Sheffield United with no striker in who's an upgrade on what we have. Brentford have been extremely difficult to negotiate with and there's no way and they shouldn't i believe pay the reported 28 million they are looking for Watkins. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds like we do want both, rather than it being one or the other. Obviously we can't say for sure until the window has closed, but the way things are going I expect them both to be Villa players. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villan-scott Posted September 4, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted September 4, 2020 Surely we can agree a deal if they want 17m and we’ve offer 15m plus addons! Hopefully get this one wrapped up. For the price it’s a good deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jareth Posted September 4, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted September 4, 2020 NUFC fans at this second are tracking Ashley's plane, it took off from Bournemouth about half an hour ago headed to Newcastle - they think Wilson is on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted September 4, 2020 Moderator Share Posted September 4, 2020 I said at the start of the window we should go for Wilson, I think it makes a lot of sense and at £15-17m I think it’s sensible business. I’d be happy with this one. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa89 Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 (edited) Good business to get an established player, a no risk signing. Wilson watkins rashica/edouard front three with Jack, Mcginn and Luiz behind them would be great. Edited September 4, 2020 by villa89 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPAngel Posted September 4, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted September 4, 2020 I wasn't crazy about the idea but for £17m that would actually be a great bit of business. WAY better than anything else we have available to us currently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBlack Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 (edited) 17 vs 15+5 in addons is virtually no different from an FFP perspective. Both values get spread over the length of the contract we offer, which would presumably be at least 3 years. So your looking at 5m per year vs 5.66m per year. Then with the 5m option you have an unknown additional cost that may or may not get factored in at all. I don't think for one second that that would be a sticking point in this negotiation.
