Top man.

Even with his star fading and intermittent form he's still a supremely gifted footballer and the kind of player that other players are going to want to play with. Which will only be good for us.

What are the club thinking!? £17m and his wages when we could spent an extra £15m for Small Heath and just let the club die!? We could have done a Ken Bates and move them to a new company and take all the assets (I mean the other Bellingham) and leave all the debts (everything else) to the old company and let the old company be wounded up.

Length of contract affects amortization iirc so a longer contract helps us short term with FFP

Also, if he slows down the third or fourth year, he'd still be a great bench option and role model for young players coming up. 

As long as this doesn't completely thwart Buendia, I really like this deal.

Little old Villa just signed the fourth most expensive footballer ever, for £17m. Let that sink in…

Awesome.

And to those doubters of "we can't afford £33m" - we didn't need to. 
This is how a good club is run. And taking advantage of poor Barcelona and their FFP problems 😊
