These three have been excellent servants to the club, and done their bit when called upon. They have served as well, despite what people may think of their footballing abilities for where we are now. I wish all three of them the best. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that's a total of 200k so far. Gives us quite a bit of a salary saving considering all four are players that we did not rely on last season.

Heaton was on 40k a week. And I don't think Taylor or Elmo would be on more than 5-10k a week in the championship. The only way it would be above that is if they had massive promotion kickers.

But Heaton?! He played for four months and has been injured / second choice ever since. Bit of a stretch to label him as an excellent servant.

Heaton alone would surely have been on £40k+ a week? Elmo somewhere around £30k a week and Taylor maybe £20k-£30k a week? I'd guess the 3 of them would have been earning in the region of £80k-£100k a week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heaton was 40k (That was pretty much confirmed) But No way Elmo and Taylor were earning that much. We were a rich championship club when we signed them but still a championship club. No way they were on more than 10-15k a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

messi11 Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Look! we aren't doing any business early. The best deals will come in 1-2 months time. Its when clubs will feel desperate to sell. At the moment the prices of the markets are the top prices, if we wait a little the prices will come down. Plus with the euros and Copa America etc its not possible to do early deals. I expect us the to deals in 2-3 months time. Be patient Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be patient I appreciate the logistics argument, and I am sure you are right, but the valuation thing surely depends on the type of tournament they (assuming they are internationals) have. If they are under the radar now and they have fantastic tournaments, then it makes sense if at all possible to do the business now, right? Plus the main argument in favour of a quick deal with Buendia is that there are other folks sniffing around. If Arsenal are constrained by a sell to buy policy, then if it's me I am banging Buendias door down with a contract to get it done while the competition's hands are tied. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 I'd say it's easily about £100k/w off the wage bill. Just like our other players Taylor and Elmo will have gotten a pay hike when we were promoted. Best of luck to them in their future endeavors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I’d loan all 4 out for a season. I think one or two will stay close to home with us....They need to feel the Villa Love. We have already lost Kane Taylor, we can't afford to lose any more and these predators, will have easier access if they go out on Loan. We have some Special Talents, who need to be close to the first team.....and benefit from our inhouse, dedicated tutoring, and strength building.

Popular Post TheStagMan Posted May 28, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 28, 2021 Isn't it nice to be in a situation now where we are looking at players leaving and wishing them the best, feeling that they have done well but we have now outgrown them, rather than the last decade of finally getting rid of Wastermen (c)Demi and thinking good riddance, f*** off you ********, hope you fall down a well. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeyp102 Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 There’s a lot of experience gone from those three today. You see the comments from the players about how much they all helped as well as setting standards. I wouldn’t be surprised to us add an experienced head amongst the ranks. Probably a number 2 GK. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
