The Fun Factory Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 A four year deal based on about 6 months of decent work. I mean what were we thinking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of fans were also intoxicated by those first 6 months (I would argue 3 months). To get Coutinho to lower the wages he was earning at Barcelona we had to give him a longer term.

He wasn't overly good in his first six months here either. It was a vanity 'name' signing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should, however have never been given such a lengthy contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rustibrooks Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 Aston Villa discusses contract termination, and Philippe Coutinho is close to returning to Vasco; attacking midfielder wants to return to Brazil and gave total preference to Cruz-Maltino, with whom he already has ongoing conversations; name is more than approved by new coach Álvaro Pacheco Philippe Coutinho and Aston Villa: exit through amicable termination is the first scenario (already) under discussion, and this requires the negotiation of outstanding amounts; loan with option to purchase is the second scenario.

CarryOnVilla Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 Not surprised it’s a termination. Would of liked a fee, but that was always unlikely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 I think an outright termination is unlikely as the FFP hit will be too much. He's 8.5m left in book value so that would be booked as a loss instead of 4.25m and 4.25m in the following season. His salary is £7m per season and he would want some financial settlement on that also. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In which case we take an £8.5m loss on his book value but save £7m in wages. Suddenly a £1.5m loss doesn't seem so bad. We could even give him 3 months pay and it still be a very satisfactory outcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could find a Loan for him where his wages are again covered (or he agrees to lower them). Then we agree at the end of that his contract terminated by mutual consent. Structure it like that.
