Apparently we are very interested in Kalvin Philips. Cant see it happening but it’s the kind of DMF we’re looking for. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I missed the Villareport tweet on the last page and just saw everybody mentioning 18 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 So it’s costing us roughly £15m then. That’s a very expensive loan, but if you compare it signing someone as good, that would probably cost you £50-85m in transfer fees and millions on top of that in wages. Yes, it’s a costly loan but it’s still unreal value. £15m for a player this good for 18 months?!? Yes please! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Griffin Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 1 minute ago, MSvillain said: I'm genuinely a bit lost, will we negotiate a perm contract with him after 12 months? We sign him on loan now for 18 months and he receives his 380k a week. In the contract we have an option inserted that we can trigger a permanent move to Villa in 18 months time at X £££ per week. In 18 months he will be a free agent as his Barca contract will have expired. This will stop Countinho leaving for another club on a freebie. If he is outstandingly successful with Villa, he will have a queue of clubs wanting to sign him and we wouldn't want a bidding war 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross McCormack and Scott Hogan spring to mind for what were basically 3 year and 4 year loan deals. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 (edited) Our owners spending the eye watering money to cover Coutinhos's salary. Yay! The Newcastle owners doing the same. Booo!!!

Gregg Evans said we liked him but would never happen unless Leeds got relegated (which they won’t) and probably not even then, so don’t get excited about that one.

Off topic but I never did like Downing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
