I don’t think so. Could they spend 100m+ plus on a player? Yeah sure Do they have the rotation to see players only 60% games? Of course But buying a player for 100m+ knowing they’ll only play 60% games is a whole different game. Given their record buy is 67m as well, the quality they already have the answer to your question is they could I assume do what you say but would they if they assumed he was only fit 60% of season, I’m not sure. I think if he ended up going it would be on assumption that Man City would believe he would be fit most of the season. I think given their needs I don’t think they’ll be after him seriously especially at our likely price and his injury record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have a shared bank account with your siblings and parents? If you had a business partner with less wealth would your family be happy you spending their money for your business partners benefit? Because there's no way the shareholding is set up in a way Nassef can indiscriminately invest and dilute Wes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any loan we do should be with an option to buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRO Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 1 hour ago, pas5898 said: As mentioned previously, stop thinking of it as spend, its an investment on assets and a club that is now worth more. The sale of Grealish, mcginn, Watkins mings and Konsa would cover their outlay, whilst the clubs value will have increased 4x due to sustained PL status. Only Kallinic and Sammatta would lose money should they be sold tomorrow. If NSWE were to walk away tomorrow they will have MADE money. That would have been like Prince Phillip walking away from the Queen, when he was alive. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a great thing until you get to an age where you become the banker and get regular visits not only from your own kids but your parents too!! I believe it’s called payback!

The Arsenal fans reactions would be phenomenal to witness. Funny thing is because the Telegraph started it the Heil and others are all reprinting it, which is whipping them up even more. On a serious note, the kid looks like a real talent but Transfermarkt has him contracted until 30th June 2023. Why the big fuss now about him not having a new deal yet? If we were ever to try raiding them it would have to be for Saka. Their owners are probably dumb enough to sell for the right price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack is a big fish, with us, with Owners who have the wherewithal to build around him. Jack is an icon at Villa and has a say, his opinion is valued and he is revered by the crowd. Aston Villa will gradually fulfil Jacks Dreams....The clubs who are all clamouring for Jack, have their own issues, why should he join clubs with issues, when we seem to have a clear pathway to the promised land. Jacks patience will pay dividends, because many stars will want to join him and Ollie and Carney and Louie and Emi. We are on the up, where the sneaky 6 have issues of desperation to maintain their status. I see all pathways leading to Villa for Jack........I couldn't have had that confidence 5-10 years ago. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm 100% confident we have already enquired about our targets and contacts have been made with clubs. We would have made judgements based on the previous campaign. Hence, we must be in the process of 'trying to sign' players, but these discussions and negotiations take weeks. I think our club is way past 11th hour 'Will Grigg' to Sunderland type of deals. Thank God for that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
