Yes he wasn’t amazing and had injuries but still scored 6 and assisted 5 in 23 games. Hardly a major flop. Agreed. He was great at first and could still be doing well for them if Rafa wasn’t destroying their squad and bombing out any flair players. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hippo Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Whats the deliverable from this signing ? - I still can't see Europe - We weren't getting relegated anyway ? Is it just because we can ? - Or is the hope that playing \ training with PC will give some of our players a performance boost ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisvilla4 Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Just been for physio, the guys a barca fan. Said he got lost at Barca and lost confidence but if he is loved he will fly. This it may have been a Grealish at city scenario, just another cog in the queue. Clearly has a good relationship with Gérard and will feel the love from us I'm sure.

Aston_Villan4 Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 6 minutes ago, sne said: I kinda feel the other way round. But depends on what the money is I guess. How much of his salary are we picking up, is it and option to buy or a compulsory buy and what is the fee if so? Anyone seen any figures? 6 months loan with us picking up a high % of his salary feels kinda pointless. Helps Barcelona more than us. No figures yet but if you believe Fab, he tweeted earlier that the option to buy was a “no obligation” one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villalad21 Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 (edited) This signing would not have been possible without Gerrard. Just like Allan and James wouldn't be gettable at Everton without Ancelotti. Perks by having a high profile manager.

DevonVilla Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 This a signing that will make others take notice, i know it's unlikely, but could even be our Robinho signing with what it could do for us going forwards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randy_69 Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Wonderful time to be a Villa fan (a long time coming). Only concern is that the 'option to buy' seems to have vanished from all reports coming out this morning. Would hate to think it's just a straight loan for 20 games...

Anyone seen any figures? 6 months loan with us picking up a high % of his salary feels kinda pointless. Helps Barcelona more than us. There is no way it's a compulsory buy as we would just buy him now outright if there was a compulsory buy. As far as wages, people should ignore that. What one club pays another is a Loan Fee. So it could equate to a players wages for the 6m or year + x on top. This was the case for Tuanzebe for example and Barkley. The reason for this is players have amortisation of their transfer fees too which appear on the clubs accounts. So Barkley for example had a 3.2m "cost" every year to Chelsea on top of his wages. So say we are paying Barca £7m for the 6 month Loan period of Coutinho. That goes towards the wages + amortisation costs that Barcelona have in relation to him. If we sign him in summer, Barcelona have say 25m left in amortisation and he is due 20m in salary. If we pay a fee of £10m, then Barcelona are +£5m in relation to their accounts for player registration in summer. They -25m + 10m and don't have to pay 20m wages Edited January 7, 2022 by CVByrne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s probably hope the potential-world class player rediscovers his form and loves being a Villa so we can purchase him for a relatively low fee.

One thing for me from a positive angle is that surely it helps us keep our better players and attract better players. Playing alongside Coutinho under Steven Gerrard is pretty exciting I'd say. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kidlewis Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 We aren’t paying all his wages from what I’ve read, so far this morning. Says the majority so could be £201k in reality we don’t know but I personally doubt it is £400k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
