It looks like a few teams were interested in him, so hopefully that means we were able to negotiate decent loan terms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, makes sense even if they just pay his wages. That’s almost £3m a year for someone who won’t ever play for us again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterSw Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 We would have got a loan fee from the French club last year and will be getting one from Nice this time, as well as both clubs covering most/all of his wages so I think the club have done OK from a FFP point of view, especially if there are no teams that want to buy him outright. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 In last 12 months Nice signed all of Pepe, Ross Barkley, Aaron Ramsey and Kasper Schmeichel so with Sir Jim Ratcliffe behind their funds there's no way we should be paying a significant part of his salary. It's a good move for him, surely there will be obligation to buy at some point aswell (perhaps January). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villarule123 Posted July 24, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted July 24, 2023 (edited) I can't wait for the day we can actually sell players instead of loaning them out until their contracts end. He's more than good enough for a lower positioned/newly promoted PL side, and they're more than capable of affording his fee and wages.

useless Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 (edited) Good luck to him,I think was always inevitable that he would be leaving, despite being involved in Walsall game and initially going to US tour.

We've done very well (so far) in terms of not having to sell our best players - i.e. those that other clubs will be most willing to spend money on and those most likely to earn us a good profit. I'm quite happy if the only players leaving the club are those that are unlikely to play any part in our match day squad going forwards. Means that we are keeping our bext players and that we are progressing well as a club so that our best players don't feel that they need to leave in order to achieve their footballing ambitions. I'd be much more worried if we had to keep selling our best players - because eventually you'll get the replacements wrong and be in a whole heap of trouble.
