Absolutely loves the Villa and works in the media over there. He just comes across as a top bloke. I like him too. Don’t think he’s ITK at all but always really positive and genuinely loves Villa. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonLax Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Just now, Peter Griffin said: As I suggest, Purslow will not be rolling over in these discussions, as per tweet above, option to buy is a discussion point. We will find out in the near future no doubt. An option to buy is different. That is the option to buy him off Barcelona before his contract is up and offer him a contract ourselves. He would then have the option to accept our contract (presumably at reduced wages) or reject our offer and see out his loan with us under his contract with Barcelona to become a free agent. It’s not really any different to us trying to buy him now and offering him a contract. Barcelona would love that but presumably he doesn’t want to do that as he would rather keep his Barcelona wage for as long as he can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BleedClaretAndBlue Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Could totally flop but a top player regardless of whats gone on at Barcelona. I was excited thinking we might sign him 8 years ago or whenever it was, actually thought we might get him One things for sure, I love the ambition the club are showing to strive and bring in as much quality as possible, always looking to upgrade. Hope it works out for all parties if it gets finalised 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really I know he didn’t say we were shit but shat on us…as Stewie goes on to talk about 13 minutes ago, StewieGriffin said: There was a section on the BBC Football Daily Podcast where they discussed where Coutinho will end up (without actually answering the question) - Balague basically said Coutinho is washed up, and when the presenter said "hang on, he was excellent at Bayern last year", Balague shot him down and said "anyone would look good playing for Bayern Munich". The journalists all pretty much agreed that he's not of a standard for clubs more high profile than us but he's still too good to consider signing for little old Aston Villa, and he'd struggle with the physicality of English football. @Tom13It’s just disrespect from Balague over and over again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last played in December. Hmm, don’t think we should expect too much of him too soon, he hasn’t played over one half of football since October. Might take a while to get up to match fitness, hopefully not 18 months tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
