eholm Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 IIRC, I’m pretty sure the sell-on clause was 50% of ANY future fee…. We got him on the cheap so this would have been Barca’s way of recouping more of their losses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 I don't think that tweet neccesarily means we're getting anywhere near £20m, it's just saying that for Barcelaon to have received fifty percent of the sale, the transfer fee would have had to have been more than twenty million, which it seemingly won't be, that's why the twenty million figure is quoted, but the actual transfer fee could be anything under twenty million, if that reporter is to be believed - he's apparently quite reliable so we will see.

I love Coutinho but the bloke can’t stay fit. His body is done at this level it would seem. Monchi doing bits. Up the Monchi. I'd say 14m euro would be break even for us. So hopefully near that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MachoFantastico Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 I'd take a decent deal, given how large his wage must be and how injury-prone he is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubbs Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 Think any fee to get his wages off the accounts is a bonus. Feel for the guy but it hasn't worked out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMightyVillans Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 A fully fit Coutinho I'd want to keep but he can never stay fit. I think if someone wants to buy him then you must sell. Shame to see such a great player's career fade away as his body fails him. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eligius Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 Good for Villa and good for the player, shame he can't stay fit but for pretty much throughout his time at Villa I have been waiting in anticipation for him to get a regular run of games to show what he can do.

I thought Paddy got the odd snippet but not Neil? None at all. It was a comment made more tongue in cheek suggesting that he is a trustworthy source simply because I like him. However, if he deems it worth listening to I trust his judgement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 Great professional and seems a good guy but this is good business from the club. He gave it all but you could see his passing was never elite when he lost his movement. Was never a good signing at the time, he had been finished physically about 2 years before he signed and two absolute clowns didnt see it and hamstrung the club with his wages for 4 years 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Posted August 26, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted August 26, 2023 Around 20 million gets this deal done, we would make an actual profit on him, wages apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
