I think bringing in Buendia, Bailey and Ings is amazing but we already had a CAM issue with Barkley and now we’ve lost a massive talent in Jack. I think last season we were massively short for a European push in quality. I have to believe we are serious about an European place push so I think a massive fee will go out for quality. We have the money, we have the need and the market especially in Europe is struggling so it seems the perfect time to strike. Won’t it affect ”massive signings” that they agreed to pay in 3 installments? Surely we can’t go big when we only have 1/3 of the money now?* *I know nothing of how these finances work so I could be wrong.

I heard we are getting most if not all upfront as part of the structure of the deal as City have 60m from sales. 2) we can pay in instalments for the players we want to buy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve got buckets of FFP headroom, if the owners want to spend. Picking up distressed assets at bargain prices is what these guys do. Lange and his team probably aren’t getting much sleep at the moment. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Athletic article stated they’d be paying us in installments over 3 years.(not 3 installments, my bad). Hadn’t heard the 60m part though.

Probably Budenia, Ings, Bailey are being paid for installments. Paying in one go is very much the exception. I really would forget all about payment schedules it's not an issue one way or the other. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ve been mismanaged … Football has had its soul sold unfortunately, these “elite” have tried to insulate themselves from the rest using FFP as a tool, over extended themselves and then tried to either mortgage their way out or breakaway to the super league. Everyone else is playing by the rules, they think they don’t have to and unfortunately it’s the fans that suffer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems the world didn’t learn from the Leeds lesson of many years ago. No sympathy from me. These big clubs will always find a buyer, I wouldn’t worry. Plenty of billionaires around to save any club worth its salt (as we found out) Well not many clubs self generate the money they spend and we're near the top of those that don't.

Hank Scorpio Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 I'm guessing a central midfield player. That's it, then a cheap backup CB. How much would Sven Botman cost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ferguson1 Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 (edited) I honestly think we’ll see Ward-Prowse, Cantwell and either Axel or Cahill joining before the window slams shut. If that happens then El G, Hourihane, Wesley, Ramsey could go out on loan or get permanent moves. Edited August 7, 2021 by ferguson1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah ok, if he wasn’t good enough he wouldn’t be at manure, they have a habit of releasing their own who aren’t up to the level required. Your not even serious when you make statements, maybe check your facts on how many games and who he played against. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QldVilla Posted August 7, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted August 7, 2021 7 hours ago, Laughable Chimp said: Playing CL football is a terrible metric for the quality of a player. What matters is the context of how he ended up playing CL football. A first team player for Bayern Munich who played CL football isn't the same as a backup at Chelsea who got given a run out for a couple of minutes for example. It’s also terrible when some don’t get their facts right because they’ve created a narrative on what they believe a player is. If they looked they would notice that the player was only reported injured for 4 games of last years PL season and another 4 games where he was out of the squad, for every other game he either played or was in the squad, hardly injury prone. He played 90 against PSG and 45 in a couple of games in the CL he played in 5 of Utd 6 games, plus Europa league games etc. He’s a squad player in the second best team in the country, but apparently not good enough for Villa, who doesn’t meet the injury prone narrative, laughable.
