Arsenal regularly offer that salary to players. I think if we spend 30-40m on him then 100k pw is going to be not far off the going rate. I think the day's of expecting established players to come for 50k a week considering our position and growth are at an end. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I remember they gave him more money per week and a longer deal than we offered. Players go where they get paid the most, just like most people when choosing where to work.

HolteExile Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Re Wilson: He's from Coventry and started his career with them. They can be a bit odd out that way. Many seem to have a visceral hatred of Villa. Despite them barely registering with us at all. Perhaps he was wary of pissing off friends and family etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post TrentVilla Posted June 4, 2021 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted June 4, 2021 I haven’t been that keen on signing Buendia, I have a few doubts about him, however now I really want us to sign him just because of the Arsenal fans. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we do sign him the arsenal fans will come out with a pre written statement saying they were never in for him anyway and he wouldn't even get in their team and they don't rate him etc. I have the same statement written myself in case they do beat us to signing him 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hank Scorpio Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Taking the villa tinted specs off for s second if this is purely down to wages on offer then we won't get him realistically. If arsenal can't outbid us on that front after 20 years of continuous European football they really are in the crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the strange third kits that they, indeed many clubs, have used over the years, would suggest that at times they have attempted to disguise the fact that they’re Arsenal. Who could blame them? But they’ve never fooled me. I know Arsenal when I see them. If you ever have any doubt just have a quick look around their trophy cabinet and see if you can spot the European Cup hiding amongst the FA Cups. You could be there a while. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will offer him higher wages and then there is also the London factor. Whilst we are a club on the up and they are a club that is declining/in transition, they still finished above us and got to a European semi final.

Vive_La_Villa Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 I think our best bet is to offer Norwich more than Arsenal. Maybe we end paying over the odds for the player but it’s worth it if he’s that good. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
